I.VSTKLTTIOV- TO TUB JUIIGKS AS TO THKIE CONSIDERATION 

 OV TMK NOVKI.TY OK TIIK OflJKCTS EXMIBirKD. 



Iv forming > our opinion of the subjects submitted to > on for 

 eiHinina nm t you are requested to tafee into consideration 

 whether ttiey have been exhibited previously or not. The 

 objkct of this regulation is to gw< specimens produced at the 

 Society's Garden Meeting*, for the first time, an advantage 

 over others previously exhibited, although of equal merit ; and 

 to obstruct the system of exhibiting very fine plants repeatedly, 

 to the disadvantage of others. The kkkkct of this Regulation 

 should be— l. Twit it two collections should be nearly the same 

 in point of merit othe wise, that in which no previously ex- 

 hibited specimen shall be found, will be regarded as the better 

 of trie two. 2. That In all cases of doubt the person who had 

 nut exhibited previously shall have the benefit of the doubt. 

 3. That when each of two competitors shall have introduced 

 previously exhibited plants into his collection, that collection 

 which contains the fewest of them shall be deemed the superior 

 if they are otherwise nearly alike. It is not, however, wished 

 that the previous exhibition of plants should depreciate their 

 value s » much as to place a superior collection below one very 

 decidedly inferior. The application of this regulation is left 

 to your judicious consideration.

RENDLE'S TANK SYSTEM OF HEVT1NG 



OTEPHENSON and CO., 61, Gracechurch-street 



U London, Inventors of the IMPROVED COXICAI «».! 

 DOUBLE CYLINDRICAL BOILERS, having been nmchen 

 gaged in heating buildings upon the above system with Tanks nf 

 various materials, solicit the attention of scientific Horticul 

 turists to an Iron Tank now fitting upon their premises, watch 

 offers most decided advantages overevery other article hitherto 

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

 mental in appe irance, can be made from 10 to 100 leet long and 

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

 by any working Gardener without the slightest difficulty, thug 

 affording the opportunity to persons in remote districts of 

 employing this much approved method of heating without the 

 assistance of Engineers. The Tanks can he applied to Boilers 

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

 ti\\\ be found cheaper than of any other material. Mr. Rkvulk 

 of Plymouth, has kindly undertaken to receive orders and furnish 

 information to any person* in his neighbourhood, and prices for 

 any size will be forwarded upon application to S. and Co. 



HORTICULTURAL BUILDING & HEATING by HOT WATER 



J WEEKS and Co., Architects, &c, Gloucester- 

 • place, King's-road, Chelsea, Hothouse-Builders, and 

 Hot- water Apparatus Manufacturers, beg leave to inform the 

 Nobility and Gentry, that their business, which has been ex- 

 tensive throughout the country for many years, is entirely con- 

 fined to the BUILDING OF HORTICULTURAL ERECTIONS 

 of every description, and the HEATING of them by HOT 

 WATER. 



CONICAL and other BOILERS of all sizes; their largest 

 consumes but a small quantity of fuel, only requiring attention 

 once in 10 hours, and will heat a range ot Forcing-houses 300 



feet in length. 



Their improved plan of BOTTOM -HEAT FOR PITS, by 

 means of an open trough under the bed, is now being univer- 

 sally adopted. 



References may be had, and their works seen at most of the 

 Nobility and Gentlemen's seats In the country, nearly the 

 whole of the London Nurseries, and a great variety of Horti- 

 cultural Erections and. Hot- water Apparatus, Models, Plans, 

 Estimates, &c, at their Horticultural Manufactory, Gloucester- 

 place, Chelsea, near Sloane-square 



MPORTANT to AGRICULTURISTS.— Analyses 



of Soils, Manures, and all Agricultural Products, 

 are conducted by Mr. Mitchell, Analytical Chemist (late ot 

 the Royal Polytechnic Institution), with the view of ascertaining 

 whether the soil on which it is proposed to grow any particular 

 crop contains all that is necessary to produce a luxuriant vege- 

 tation ; also to estimate the relative value and purity of Manures, 

 and the comparative worth of Farm Produce in general. 



Gentlemen Instructed in Agricultural Chemistry ; the Course 

 will comprehend the Elements of Analysis.

HOT-WATER APPARATUS FOR HEATING 

 HORTICULTURALBUILDINGS, DWELLING-HOUSES, 

 CHURCHES, and MANUFACTORIES, upon improved prin- 

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

 EDWARD BAILEY, 272, HOLBORN. 



D. and E. Bailey having devoted much time tothe considera- 

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

 apparatus for the above-mentioned purposes, have, by 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, inexecuting 

 the works of their splendid Conservatory, lately erected at 

 Chiswick. 



D. and E.Bailkv also construct in metal all descriptions of 

 Horticultural Buildingsand Sashes. and invitenoblemen, gentle- 

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

 and models, at 272 , Holborn , wherethey have th e opportunity of 

 exhibiting, amongst other metal works, an extremely complete 

 and convenient kitchen apparatus, or range, adapted for the con- 

 tinued supply of hot water, and an arrangement of the oven 

 more com Dlete 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 

 intervals required, and which may be seen at their Manufactory .
