f\ <) GARDENERS and BOTANISTS, &c. — As

 If 2© of such will send their names and addresses as subscribers 

 to the amount of 7§. 6d. each, before March 10th, he will prepare

 of each ps. ■ The money to be sent by Post-office order. — 

 Address, W. Gardiner, 40, Overrate, Dundee. The offer not to 

 be repeated if unfavourably received. 



W.G. has also prepared a few 5*. packets, including 6o species

 Varieties, th< merit! of which are thus noticed in the Gardeners' 

 Chronicle. "THE BRITISH QUEEN on light soils, is the 

 best of all kinds, and will drive Knight's Tall Marrow out of 

 the garden." " THE PRINCE ALBERT, which has been cul- 

 tivated in the Garden of the Horticultural Society during the 

 •eaaon. produced Peas fit for the table ten days earlier than any 

 other variety lowa at the same time." Both varieties mav be had

TO AGRICULTURISTS. -IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. 



41 Quid facial Isetas segetes "—Virgil. 



THE CORN-PRODUCING LIQUIDS.— 



J- •« One of the most extraordinary exhibitions in the yard (at 

 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 

 which had undergone a certain chemical preparation, and without 

 the aid of any manure whatever. 



44 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 lor eleven years; and he declared bin. self 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 «>f ti.e 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, !843. 



Id 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 matter 

 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 food, both from the soil and the atmospnere. 



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 whiie the 

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

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

 eleven stems. 



The material for these liquids, at the following prices, may be 

 had of the following Agents. 



Wheat . . . material for one gallon . . 

 Barley . . . do. do. . . 



Oats and Grasses . do. do. . • 



Beans and Peas . do. do. . . 



Turnip and Rape-seed do. do. 



Agents : — Messrs. George Gibbs & Co., Down-street, Picca- 

 dilly, London ; James Madkn, Ironmonger, Warminster, Wilts * 

 John Campbell, 5, Mersey-street. Liverpool; E. R. Crouch, 



Newcastle-on-Tyne ; Samlkl Waldik, Carlisle; W. W. Fyfk 

 Agriculturist Office, Berwick; Messrs. P. Lawson 8c Son, Edin- 

 burgh; Drysdale & Co., Glasgow; Dru.mmond & Son, Stir- 

 ling; and Dickson * Turnbull, Perth. 



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

 is commonly used; and twelve gallons will impregnate eifcbt 

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

 residual liquid with additional measures of grain, as not more 

 than one-tenth is absorbed in each operation. 



Particular printed instructions for using the liquids will accom- 

 pany invoices. No order under 20 gallons will be supplied.

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 staling 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 cf 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, first sending a 

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

 detailing the prices, &. ' ' ^^

rrflE URATE of the LONDON MANURE COM- 



J- PANY, 5L 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 toi 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.
