 number. 



Standard Tea-Roses were not only very numerous, but finely developed at 

 Cheshunt. All kinds of Tea-Roses appear to be at home here, but the Standards 

 particularly so. We noticed a piece of Standards, one year from the bud, of such 

 kinds as Marechal Niel, Triomphe de Rennes, La Marque, and others, of very 

 vigorous development. In one part of the ground some Standard trees of the 

 pretty Macartney Rose, Berberifolia, with yellow flowers spotted with maroon, 

 which makes a charming head of bloom when grown in this way; also the 

 Perpetual Scotch Rose, Stanwell Hybrid, Blush Rose flowers, large and double, 

 blooming very freely and continuously. The Seedling Roses at Cheshunt will 

 have to be reported on at a later date. We saw there in the bud, one from 

 Alfred Colomb, one from Charles Lefebvre, and one from Duke of Edinburgh, all 

 very promising, and of rich shades of colour ; we also saw a sport from \ ictor 

 Verdier, with a climbing habit and half pendulous leaves, promising to make a 

 good pillar Rose. 



It must not be supposed we have touched on all the subjects found at the Ches- 

 hunt Nurseries, for there can be seen a general collection of all those plants to 

 be found in so extensive a place. If any visitor to London should find his way 

 to Cheshunt at any time, and especially at the Rose season, he will not only have 

 discovered how to spend a happy day, but he will also be instructed by such a 

 visit, and find there many lessons of profit waiting to be stored up in his treasury 

 of knowledge. 



WEEKS' UPRIGHT TUBULAR BOILER, with Patent 

 Duplex Compensating Improvements. 



We are enabled to give an illustration of this boiler, and from an 

 inspection of its mechanism, have reached the conclusion that it 

 appears likely to answer well the end for which it has been designed. 

 The inventors consider it to be the most unique and perfect thing of
