OF THE 



FLOWERING PLANTS AND FERNS OF GREAT BRITAIN. 

 By Dn. Deakcn.

 the cheapest, as well as one of the most useful works on British Botany. The

 tained species of British Flowering Plants and Ferns, with dissections of those parts 

 of the Plants most important to be known in distinguishing the various genera and 

 species. In the descriptions, as few technical terms will be used as is consistent 

 with clearness and distinction. The Generic and Specific characters of the Plants 

 will be described, and the localities mentioned in which such species is found, as 

 also the time of flowering. 



The work will be published in Monthly Parts, each part containing Sixty Engravings 

 of diilerent Plants, with Forty pages of Letter-press description, price 28. 6d.; 

 or, with the Plates Coloured, price 5s.; and will be completed in about Thirty 

 Parts, forming Three Thick Octavo Volumes; in the concluding Part will be given

THE FLORIST^S JOURNAL 



FOR 1844. 



Illustrated with 14 superior coloured Engravings, Hs., cloth. 

 Continued in Monthly Numbers, price 6r/. each, embellished with some new or 



favorite Flower, coloured in the best manner. 

 To the florist, the general cultivator of plants, and especially to the amateur grower, 

 this work oilers a medium through which sound practical knowledge may be ob- 

 tained: for while the more abstruse points of the science are rendered clear and 

 familiar, the attention of those who contribute is at the same time directed to the 

 best means of cultivating, and the general management of all plants at all seasons. 

 " This work is well conducted, and the articles sensibly written : the Numbers under review 

 contain useful and interesting papers, supplied by experienced men. The embellishments are 

 good." — Gai-dener's Chronicle, Nov. 25. 



"This periodical is the only one worthy of notice that attempts to give coloured portraits of 

 florist's flowers, and it seems to have talcen the ground originally occupied by the Horticultural 

 Journal, which was discontinued. The writing of this work is, for the most part, sound; the 

 price literally under the worth of the plate which embellishes it; and, standing alone, as it does, 

 it can hardly fail. It is not so strictly confined to florist's flowers as the Horticultural Journal, 

 but probably this diversity has its charms." — Gardener's Gazette, Oct. 25.
