FOR TURNIPS. 



rpHE Urate of the London Manure Company, 



J_ 4 guineas per ton. The London Manure Company have 

 great pleasure in acquainting their friends that thev have this 

 day reduced the Urate from 5/. to 4 guineas per ton, at the 

 same time pledging themselves that the qualitv shah be fully 

 maintained. The Urate will be found most valuable for Turnips, 

 by promoting a rapid growth; it secures a fuh plant, at the 

 lame time producing a great weight per acre, and extending 

 its beneficial effects to the succeeding crops. It may be sown 

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

 ton to 3 acres ; and it is desirable it should not be placed more 

 than 3 inches below the surface. 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 Ammonia j. Gypsum, 

 and every other artificial manure. — Edward Purser, Secretary,

KEENE'S PATENT MARBLE CEMENT. 

 CEMENT is particularly adapted for the Walls am 



-This 



r , „ , - and Floors 



of Conservatories and Greenhouses, being calculated, from its 

 extreme hardness, to resist the wear incident to ordinary Plas- 

 tering:. For Floors it has a threefold advantage over Stone- 

 parinir. 1st, in its lightness; one inch in thickness of Keene's 

 Cement sufficing where 2 t j 3-inch flagging would be employed. 

 Next, in its appearance, combining, as it does, the hardness ot 

 stone with a uniform colour and even surface free from joints • 

 and lastly, in economy, being one-third the price of Portland 

 paving. 



The most conclusive evidence can be given of the utility of 

 Kbbyk's Cement for these purposes by the Patentees and Manu- 

 facturers.— Jou.v Bazlky White and Sons, Millbank-street

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

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

 useu them last winter, with a success far exceeding mv most san- 

 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 

 in 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 

 radiation, 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 effectually preserved 

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

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

 protecting influence infinitely superior to glass, because the effects 

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

 glass, which so materially counteracts the artificial temperature 

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

 not merely of the early blossom, but the maturation of the fruits 

 as in the case of the Peach, Nectarine, Apricot, and Grape, these 

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

 umphant success certain. Add to this, for Cucumber and Melon 

 frames, their superiority over glass is undoubted for preventing 

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

 chilling effects of radiation by night. Screens prepared 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 less 

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

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

 SCIENTIFIC LIBRARY, 



FOR THE USE OF 



SCHOOLS, PRIVATE STUDENTS, ARTISTS, 



AND MECHANICS. 



It is the purpose of this Work to furnish aperies of Elementary 

 Treatises on Mathematical Science, adapted to the wants of the 

 public at large. To youth of either sex at public aud private 

 schools 1 to persons whohc education has been neglected, or 

 whose attention has not bacn directed in early life to s"uch 

 studies; and to Artists and M-chanics these little works will be 

 particularly suited. The principles of the various Sciences are 

 rendered as farciliar and brought as near to our commonest 

 ideas as possible ; the demonstrations of propositions arS made 

 plain for the mind and brief for the memory \ and the Elements 

 of each Science are reduced not only to their simplest but to 

 their shortest form.
