South Kensington pronounced it to be one of the greatest ac- 

 quisitions we had had in bedding plants for many years, and 

 that it received a first-class certificate from the Floral Com- 

 mittee of the Royal Horticultural Society, we need nothing 

 more in favour of our assertion, that it is an immense acquisition 

 to all lovers of the modern system of gardening. 



We would take this opportunity of noticing an invention, 

 which we think is likely to be very useful, amongst other things 

 for the hardening of bedding plants in the spring — we mean 

 Eendle's Plant Protectors. Ageratums, and such-like plants, 

 might be placed either in pots, or planted singly under them, 

 and then when the time for planting out came, they could be 

 taken up with a good ball, and would never feel the removal ; 

 a considerable expense in frames, &c., might be thus spared.
