Smith (under whose gratuitous superintendence the grounds are being planted), acknowledging the receipt from the Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, of a parcel of ornamental trees and shrubs, comprising several varieties of cypress, pine, cedar, &c, also a parcel of bulbs, which he considered worth about £36.
