SEED TRADE— NO MONOPOLY. 



JG. WAITE, Wholesale Seedsman, 1 & 4, 

 • Eyre Street-hill, Ilatton Garden, London, most respectfully 

 solicits the attention of the Country Trade to his prices of Seeds 

 recently advertised in the Chronicle, and to remind them that every- 

 thing is quoted very much below the London Agreed Lint. xVll 

 articles sold at his Establishment are of superior Quality and 

 genuine Stock-lists to be had on application. ' 



OT^WATER APPARATUS FOR HEATING 



HORTICULTURAL BUILDINGS, DWELLING-HOUSES 

 CHURCHES, and MANUFACTORIES, upon improved prin- 

 ciples, and at very moderate charges, erected by DANIEL and 

 EDWARD liAILEY, >27>1, AOLBORN. 



D. and E. Bailkv having devoted much time to the considera 

 tion of this subject, and had much experience in the erection of 

 apparatus for the above-mentioned purposes, have, bv improve- 

 ments suggested in their practice, rendered their mode of heat- 

 ing not only very efficient, but very simple, and have combined 

 durability in the apparatus with economy in the charge. They 

 have erected apparatus in England, Scotland, and Ireland, for 

 many noblemen and gentlemen, and have had the honour to be 

 employed by the Horticultural Society of London, in executing the 

 works of their splendid Conservatory, lately erected at Chiswick. 



D. and E. Bailey also construct in metal all descriptions oi 

 Horticultural Buildings and Sashes, and invite noblemen, gentle- 

 men, and the public to an inspection of their various drawings 

 and models, at 272, Holborn, where they have the opportunity of 



exhibiting, amongstother metal works, an extremely completeand 

 convenient kitchen apparati;s,or range, adapted lor the continued 

 supply of hot water, and an arrangement of the oven more com- 

 plete than has hitherto been brought before the public. 



D. and E. Bai/.ey were the first to introduce metallic curvili- 

 near houses to horticulturists, and can refer to the Conservatory 

 attached to the Pantheon as one of their works, besides manv 

 others in this country and on the Continent. 



D.and E. Bailky have prepared a quantity of the Galvanic 

 Plant Protectors, which are now ready for immediate delivery j 

 they beg to introduce to public notice a new Trough Pipe, for 

 Orchidaceous or other Houses where vapour is constantly, or at 

 intervals required, and whic h may be seen at their Manufactory. 



RKMJLE'S TANK &YSTEM OF HEATING. 



QTEPHENSON and CO., 61, Gracechurch-street, 



^ London, Inventors of the IMPROVED CONICAL and 



DOUBLE CYLINDRICAL BOILERS, having been much engaged 

 in heating buildings upon the above system with Tanks of 

 various materials, solicit the attention of scientific Horticul- 

 turists to an Iron Tank now fitting up on their premises, which 

 offers most decided advantages over every other article hitherto 

 employed for the same purpose. These tanks which are orna- 

 mental in appearance can be made from 10 to 100 feet long and 

 of any width and depth, and can be connected or disconnected 

 by any working Gardener without the slightest difficulty, thus 

 affording the opportunity to persons in remote districts of 

 employing this much approved method of heating without the 

 assistance of Engineers. The Tanks can be applied to Boilers 

 and Pipes already fixed, and from the present low price of Jron 

 will be found cheaper than of any other material. Ma. Rexdlk, 

 of Plymouth, has kindly undertaken to receive orders and furnish 

 information to any persons in his neighbourhood, and prices for 

 anyjsize will be forwarded upon application to S. and Co. 



^HE CONICAL HOT- WATER BOILERS, invalid 



by J. Rogers, Esq., may be obtained of any size from JOHN 

 SHEWEN, Ironmonger, &c, Sevenoaks, Kent. 



J. Shewjen having had every opportunity afforded him by an 

 extensive practice to bring this apparatus to perfection, begs to 

 offer it as most efficient and economical: it may be seen at 

 Messrs. Chandler & Sons' Nursery, Vauxhall; Messrs. Loddiges', 

 Hackney; Messrs. Henderson's, Pine Apple-place ; Messrs. Veitch 

 and Son's, Exeter; Mr. Pontey's, Plymouth ; the Royal Botanical 

 Society's Gardens, Regent's Park ; and at the Gardens of the Hor- 

 ticultural Society of London. Considerable improvements have 

 been effected since last season; particulars of which are in course 

 of pr eparation.

BURBIDGE and HEALY beg respectfully to inform 

 the Horticultural world that they are quite ready to supply 

 their new BOILER, of every size. They have now fixed a suffi- 

 cient number to warrant them in stating that what they put 

 forth as the qualities of their Boiler and Furnace arrangement 

 may be perfectly relied upon : they have put up one at the Hor- 

 ticultural Gardens, where B. and H. believe it is considered to 

 answer as represented ; they have also fixed it in connection 

 with a new description of Iron Tank, which combines the quali- 

 ties of the round pipe and the open tank, which may be pro- 

 nounced the perfection of a Heating Apparatus for Horticultural 

 purposes, particularly for Graperies, Epiphyte-houses, Melon- 

 pits, &c. &c. The arrangement is such that any gentleman or 

 gardener may have the whole constructed so as to be put toge- 

 ther with the greatest facility by the gardener, fLst sending a 

 correct plan to 130. Fleet- street. A Prospectus may be had de- 

 tailing the prices, &c.

AGRICULTURISTS. -EM PORl ANT DISCOVERY. 

 •* Quid faciat laetas segetes "—Virgil. 



(at 



THE CORN-PRODUCING LIQUIDS. 



J- " One of the most extraordinary exhibitions In the yard 

 the late Agricultural Show, Dundee), was that presented by Mr" 

 James Campbell, of the Dundee public seminaries. It con- 

 sisted of magnificent plants of Oats and Barley, grown from seed 

 winch had undergone a certain chemical preparation, and without 

 the aid of any manure whatever. 



"Such a mode of culture is at variance with all practical ex- 

 perience; but Mr. Campbell declares that his prepared seeds 

 which have produced these strong, healthy plants, were sown by 

 him on land which, to his certain knowledge, had had no manure 

 of any kind for eleven years; and he declared himself quite 

 ready to verify his statement by experiment, and said he was 

 willing, at any time, to impregnate with his chemical prepara- 

 tions the seed which any member of the Society should send to 

 him for that purpose, so as to enable gentlemen to satisfy them- 

 selves fully as to the efficacy of this wonderful mode of culture " 

 — Journal of Agriculture, October, 1 843. 



In this discovery is actually realised that boast of science 

 which some years ago prophetically asserted, that the time 

 would soon come when one might carry in his pocket n atter 

 sufficient to manure an acre of land. 



After impregnation with these liquids, the seed possesses 

 within itself elements which not only afford additional nourish- 

 ment to the grain during the progress of germination, but com- 

 municate to the expanding vessels of the plant an aptitude to 

 absorb lood, both from the soil and the atmosphere. 



Of one specimen of Oats exhibited, the average produce of 33 

 seeds was 1600 grains from each, or a total of 52,800 grains 

 weighing 48 lbs. per bushel. 



The produce of Barley was an average of upwards of 500 grains 

 from each seed sown; and ot Wheat sown on 5th July, and taken 

 up on 8th August, to be exhibited, the result was, that while the 

 unprepared seeds gave plants with two, three, and four stems 

 only, the impregnated grain yielded plants with nine, ten, and 

 eleven stems.

One- third, or even one-half less grain, is required for seed than 

 is commonly used ; and twelve gallons will impregnate eight 

 bushels of grain; for the operation may be repeated in the 

 residual liquid wilh additional measures of gram, as not more 

 than one-tenth is absorbed in each operation.

'PHE URATE of the LONDON MANURE COM- 



J- PANY, 5/. per Ton. It is with the greatest satisfaction 

 after three years' experience, the Company are enabled to recom- 

 mend the above as one of the best manures for Barley, Oats, 

 Spring Wheat, and more especially Turnips. By promoting a 

 rapid growth of the latter it secures a full plant, at the same time 

 producing a great weight per acre, and extending its beneficial 

 effects to the succeeding crops. The Urate may be sown broad- 

 cast, or which is preferable, by the drill, at the rate of one ton 

 to three acres, and it is desirable it should not be placed more 

 than two inches below the surface. As a top-dressing for Wheat 

 the Urate has been used with great advantage. Gardeners and 

 Florists will find it very useful for Dahlias and other roots. Full 

 particulars and Testimonials will be forwarded on application.

 WATERPROOF COMPOSITION, rendering Musiin f 

 Calico, or Linen, for the Frames of Greenhouses, Pine,-Melon, or 

 Cucumber Stoves, &C.« impervious to rain or moisture, admitting 

 light equal to Glass, much warmer, and the plants never burn 



undent. 



Noblemen, Gentlemen, and Gardeners will, by using this com- 

 position have the only effectual protection for their Fruit-trees 

 during the blooming season; it is a certain defence from frost, 

 sleet, wind, and blight; its transparency admits the general 

 beams of the sun, with abundance of light, which causes the 

 bloom to expand with increased luxuriauce, the fruit to set and 

 swell more freely, much earlier, and a crop of fruit to any extent 

 may be warranted. The covering not to be moved by day 

 (except to thin the Fruit, which will be necessary}, till the month 

 of June. It is recommended that the Calico be prepared early, 

 so as to be thoroughly dry before using.
