 JJLratusfor t he above-mentioned purposes, have, by improve- 



* ri?iuf«sted in their practice, rendered their mode of heat- 

 UrnoC only very efficient, but very simple, and have combined 

 IflJabilitTin the apparatus with economy in the charge. They 

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

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

 Colored by the Horticultural Society of London, inexecutingthe 

 works of their splendid Conservatory, lately erected at Chiswick. 



D andE.BAiLET also construct in metal all descriptions of 

 Horticultural Buildings and Sashes, and invite noblemen, gentle- 

 Ben and the public to an inspection of their various drawings 

 *nd models, at 272, Holborn, where they have the opportunity of 

 exhibiting,amongstothermetalworks,anextremelycompleteand 

 convenientkitchenapparatus.or range, adapted for the continued 

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

 plete than has hitherto been brought before the public. 



D. and E. Bailey 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 many 

 others in this country and on the Continent. 



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

 Plant Protectors, which are now ready for immediate delivery ; 

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

 Orchidaceous or other Houses where vapour is constantly, or at 

 in terrals required, and which may be seen at their Manufactorv.

MANURES. 



OOAST and Co.'s PATENT INORGANIC 



J-* MANURES.— These strong and productive manures have 

 already proved their superiority over all others yet adopted. It 

 is now thoroughly understood and acknowledged by intelligent 

 agriculturists that each plant requires a distinct manure, and it 

 is upon this perfectly scientific principle that these manures are 

 prepared, being formed so as to supply nil the substances taken 

 from the soil by each particular crop. They are immeasurably 

 more efficacious, far more economical than all others, and pos- 

 sess the great advantage of being easily applied to the land. 



Prospectuses, with lull particulars, may be obtained ; or will 

 be forwarded by post on application at the Manufactory, Bow, 

 Middlesex. 



*** By the use of these Manures, any land may be rendered 

 fertile. Wheat, &c. may be grown on the same land every year 

 with immense advantage to the farmer, and without injury to 

 the soil ; whilst all the other crops are greatly increased. 



GUANO, superior to the foreign, at a reduced price. 



Manures prepared expressly for Gardeners and Florists. 



rPHE URATE of the LONDON MANURE COM- 



-L 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. 

 Genuine Peruvian Guano; Phosphate and Sulphate of Ammo- 

 nia ; Gypsum and every other artificial Manure.

MOST IMPORTANT TO FARMERS AND GRAZIERS. 



GIBBONS' DISINFECTING OINTMENT, a 

 most effectual and perfect cure for Epidemic and Foot-rot 

 in Sheep; also for Epidemic and Foul in Cows' Feet, and for the 

 Grease and Thrush in Horses; prepared only by HENRY GIB- 

 BONS, Agricultural Chemist, Wolverhampton. 



This Ointment effectually destroys the American grub on Fruit- 

 trees. Sold by all respectable Druggists in Town and Country, 

 in packets at 2s. 6d. each. Mr. William Bailey, Manufacturing 

 Chemist, North Street, Wolverhampton, is appointed Sole Whole- 

 sale and Shipping Agent. 



T\R. HALLETT'S LIQUID FERTILISER.— The 



-IS beauty of Flowers, with their power of perfecting their 

 Seeds, and the flavour and size of Fruits and Vegetables, must 

 ever depend upon the food supplied to the plants producing them, 

 and these a very extensive series of trials on various soils has 

 shown, may be secured by the use of Dr. IIallett's Concen- 

 trated Liquid Fertiliser, which contains all the essential 

 ingredients of the best foreign Guano, with others equally so, 

 but not to be found by Sea Fowl, in the Atlantic Ocean. Sold at 

 Mr. G. Hai.lett's Factory, Broad Wall, Blackfriars; Messrs. 

 Winstan lev's, Chemists, 7, Poultry; Messrs. Warvers, 28, 

 Cornhill ; Messrs. Hukst and M'Mullkn's, 6, Leadenhall- 

 street ; and every respectable Chemist's and Seedsman's, with 

 directions, in stone quarts, at 1*. 6d. each, and in bottles, six 

 times the size, at 7*. 6d. The quart requires 99 gallons of water 

 to reduce it for use, for watering soils and growing bulbs in. 



I 



GLASS SUPERSEDED FOR HORTICULTURAL PUR- 

 POSES BY 



WHITNEY'S CHEMICAL, TRANSPARENT 



cln Jf^^^^F COMPOSITION*, for rendering Muslin! 

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

 Cucumber Stove., &c. impervious to Rain or Moisture admitting 

 light equal to Glass, the burning rays of the sun alone being o£ 

 structed. Houses or pits covered with Calico. &c, prepared with 

 this Composition, embrace important advantages over Glass Th£ 

 light being equally diffused in every part of thl house plants 

 placed on the floor have as much light as those close to the coverine 

 consequently they are not drawn up as under Glass, while ther 

 continue much longer in bloom, and preserve their delicate tints 

 unfaded till the blossom falls. 



Whitney's Substitute for Gin**.— I have had screens of calico 

 rendered transparent with Mr. Whitney's invaluable varnish, and 

 used them last winter, with a success far exceeding mv most «an- 

 guine expectations, though my anticipations had been considerably 

 excited. Indeed I consider Mr. Whitney's discovery as an invalu- 

 able boon to the horticulturist, one that will bear competition with 

 any invention connected with the art and mystery of Horticulture 

 111 modern times. My screens were about 9 feet long each and 

 were inclined to the wall separated about 12 inches below, and as 

 my object was to ascertain the value of the screens, in reference to 

 radmhon they were left open at each end. Suffice it to say, the 

 Fuchsia, Pomegranate, Passion-flower, Japan Honeysuckle, and 



others still more delicate and susceptible, were effect ual'lv preserved, 

 and that without the slightest check to their growth, or any injury 



whatever. 1 am of opinion that in this new aspect, it possesses a 



protecting influence infinitely superior to glass, because the effects 



ot radiation, a most powerful source of cold, are not intercepted by 



KS » uch S0 ni ' lteria,1 >' counteracts the artificial temperature 

 within ; I cannot, therefore, but conclude, that for the protection, 

 not merely of the early bldssom, but the maturation of the fruit, 

 asm the case of the Peach, Nectarine. Apricot, id Grape, these 

 transparent screens, thus prepared, are invaluable, and their tri- 

 umphant success certain. Add to this, for cucumb and melon 

 frames, their superiority over glass is undoubted for preventing 

 /lagging of the foliage (sometimes being scorched) by day, and the 

 chilling effects of radiation by night. Screens prepar with Whit- 

 ney s Transparent Varnish should be also used as shades in the in- 

 tensity of a summer's sun, and for protection against radiation in 

 winter, for the stove, greenhouse and conservatory. Even in the 

 economy of fuel the value of such screens is demonstrable, as les 

 will be required to maintain an equable warmth, its escape by 

 radiation being thus effectually checked.— J. M., 16M Anril, 1844. 

 Prepared by Georck Whitney, Chemist, Shrewsbury ; and sold 

 in Bottles, 2s. 6d. and 4s. fid., with ample directions for usc ; and, as 

 a protection to the public, the signature of the inventor is on each 

 bottle. Sold by the principal Seedsmen in London and throughout 

 the kingdom. Merchants, Seedsmen, and Florists supplied by Mr. 

 Bailey, North-street, Wolverhampton. 



"T)R. HALLETT'S DRY SOLUBLE FERTI- 



-L^ LISERS are composed of all the useiul ingredients of the 

 best Foreign Guano, which manure must before long be ex- 

 hausted, and under the name of which so much positive rubbish 

 is already in the market, and no two parcels alike. They are 

 Improvers of all Soils, but most so of Poor Ones; and canoot 

 possibly prove injurious to Soil or Crop, as they contain no heat- 

 ing or caustic materials ; being simply and purely Fertilisers. 

 5 cwt. of either of them is equal to nearly 30 tons ot Horse 

 Manure as a Fertiliser; and they enable crops, by increasing 

 their vigour, to appropriate, with greater effect, those consti- 

 tuents of the atmosphere which are known to nourish all Vege- 

 table life. No. l is adapted for the greatest possible Yield of all 

 the varieties of Corn, Peas, Beans, Chicory, &c. ; and No. 2 for 

 Turnips, Mangold Wurzel, Natural and Artificial Grasses, and all 

 Gardening purposes. This is the best Protector yet discovered 

 against the Fly in Turnips; for, if sown with the seed, this 

 Fertiliser gives a First Growth three weeks beyond that of any 

 other known manure. Price of each, 10/. per ton.

SHANK'S IMPROVED GRASS-CUTTING and 

 ROLLING-MACHINE.— The complete success which has 

 attended the introduction of this instrument in Scotland is suffi- 

 ciently attested by the accompanying documents, which the Ad- 

 vertiser has kindly been permitted to make public. The patent 

 which has hitherto prevented its use in England expires on the 

 5th of August next; and Mr. Shanks is now prepared to receive 

 orders for delivery in any part of the Kingdom after that period. 

 As he can only supply a limited number of Machines this season, 

 these will be forwarded in the order of the demands which he 

 shall receive. They are made to cut breadths of 42, 30, and 20 

 inches respectively, the latter being adapted to hand-power. 



Further particulars, and a note of prices, may be obtained by 

 addressing Mr. Albx. Shanks, Machine-maker, Arbroath, 

 North Britain.

" Sir,— I shall have much pleasure at all times in recommend- 

 ing your Mowing Machine, as answering most perfectly in every 

 respect, as I have had some months' trial of it, and find that a 

 man and horse and one woman can cut and clean up upwards of 

 two acres and a half in seven hours, while it formerly took four 

 men and three women nearly three days to put the same ground 

 in order. " Your obedient servant, &c,

 [Copy.] " Camperdown, 20th April, 1844. 



" Sir,— After using your Grass cutting and Rolling Machine 

 for the last season, 1 am glad to state, it has given us every sa- 

 tisfaction, and the Earl of Camperdown is much taken with it. 

 I think we can cut nearly two acres in three hours with a pony, 

 a man, and a boy. It answers well for green roads and walks ; 

 we can cut, in a morniug, two to three miles in two rounds. It' 

 you wish it, the Earl of Camperdown will give you a certificate.

 [Copy.] M Kinblethmont, Arbroath, July 31 , 1843. 



M Sir.— I am quite ready to testify to the utility and correct 

 working of the Grass-cutting Machine you made for me two 

 years ago. It has now been at work the whole of last season, 

 and up to the present period of this one, cutting a space of 

 three imperial acres once ft week regularly, in about four hours 

 each time, the force employed being one man and a pony only. 

 The Machine has not yet required sharpening, and I am satis- 

 fied it will continue to work the remainder of this season without 

 doing so. j am> your obedient servant,
