*J • Hij?h Holborn, London, begs leave to recommend the 

 following Seeds for present aud autumn sowing. The Annuals 

 he has selected will flower in the autumn if sown this month. 

 He would recommend a second sowing early in September ; for 

 those sown fn the autumn will flower earlier, and much finer, 

 than the spring sown, particularly in dry seasons like the 

 present. L— Hardy Annuals iv Assortments.

JOHN STANDISH, Nurseryman, Bagshot, begs 



*J to inform his Friend* ani the Public that he is now sending 

 out his SEEDLING FUCHSIAS, which he can strongly recom- 

 mend, four of which, marked with an asterisk, are the largest 

 yet sent out. See Paxton's •* Magazine of Botany " for March. 

 —Also now ready, his new SALVIA BICOLOR, which he has 

 proved to be perfectly hardy, and one of the most beautiful 

 showy herbaceous plants of the present day. Likewise a New 

 Pink GERANIUM, for Bedding, which was raised from the 

 Frogmore Scarlet, being exactly like that plant in habit, foliage, 

 and shape of flower, only of a delicate pluk colour with a 

 white eye.

HOT-WATER APPARATUS FOR nt,UiNG 

 HORTICUL1 URA L BUILDINGS, DWKLL.1KG- HOUSES, 

 CHURCHES, and MANUFACTORIES, upon improved prin- 

 ciples, and at very moderate charges, erected by DAN' J EL and 

 BDWARD BAILEY, 2;2, HOLBORN. 



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

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

 apparatus forthe above-mentioned purposes, have, L> ini,.rove- 

 .Tients suggested in their practice, reudered 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, itj executing 



the works of their splendid Conservatory, lately erected at 

 Chiswick. 



D. and E. Baii.icy also construct in metal all descriptions of 

 Horticultural Buildlngvand Sashes ,and invite noblemen, gentle- 

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

 and models, at 2,~2, Holborn, where they have throppoitunitv of 

 exhibiting, amongst other art eta) works, an extn-meiy complete 

 and convenient kitchen apparatus, or range, auapte I he con- 

 tinued supply of hot water, and in arrangement o( the oven 

 more com olete than has hitherto be«n brought before I he public. 



D.and E. Bah kt were ti irst to introduce metallic curviii- 

 near houses to horticulturists, and can refer to the Conservatory 

 attached to the Pantheon n» one of their works, besideb many 

 others in this country and on the Continent. 



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

 Plant Protectors, which are now teady for Immediate deliver/; 

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

 Orchidaceous or other Houses where vapour is coustuntly, or at 

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

RENDLE'S TANK SYSTEM OF HEATING. 



CTEPHENSON and CO., 61, Gracechurch-street, 



^ London, Inventors of the IMPROVED CONICAL and 

 DOUBLE CYLINDRICAL BOILERS, having been much en- 

 gaged 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 upon their premises, which 

 offers most decided advantages overeveryother 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 c*n 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 Iron 

 will be found cheaper than of any other material. Mr.Rbndlb, 



of Plymouth, has kindly undertaken to receive orders and furnish 

 information to any persons in his neighbourhood, and prices for 

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

HE Urate of the London Matiure Company, 



-*- 4 guineas per ton. The London Manure Company have 

 trreat pleasure iu acquainting: their friends that try have thfn 

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

 same time pledging themselves that the quality ahall te fully 

 maintained. The Urate will be fount most valuable f * r Turnips, 

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

 same time producing a great weight per acre, anrt extending 

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

 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 2 inches below the surface. Gardener* and Florists will 

 find it very useful for Dahlias, and other roots. Fail particulars* 

 and testimonials will be forwarded on application. Genuine 

 Peruvian Guano ; Phosphateand Sulphate Ammonia ; Gyp-- ana,

 landed, with a succession of cargoes to arrive. 



There being considerable variety in the qualities of Guano 

 imported from different places, and indeed from thc same 

 island, each parcel will be chemically analysed with the utmost 

 precision, to show its relative productive p.wer. A copy of 

 such analysis will be given to buyers, and ai.so instructions as 

 to the most approved mode of using the Guano, furnished by the 

 experience of eminent Agriculturists in England and Scotland. 



Large parcels will be delivered direct from the*hip, or water- 

 side premises. Smaller quantities may be had at tfee ware- 

 houses, 24 and 25, Billiter-street ; or deliverer within any 

 reasonable distance, at a trifling additional cost.— Ajjply to 

 Jamks Clark, 24, Billiter-street. 



\l\ ANURES— The Readers of the Gardeners' Chro- 



1VL n ide mu*t have noticed the complaints constantly made 

 there of the Adulterations of Manures, and which are now 

 carried on to a fearful extent. 



The Advertiser, a Broker of the City of London, and in da9y 

 communication with several scientific Chemists, calls the atten- 

 tion of the Nobility, Agriculturists, and Fanners to his method 

 of supplying Manures, by which a genuine article in secured. 

 Each article is Analysed, and the Analysis forwarded to the 

 purchaser, who can by this means obtain redress should the 

 article differ from the Analysis. 



Terms, Cash and one per cent, commission for buyiug and 

 forwarding. 



A register will be kept of the Analysis of every cargo of 

 Guano imported into London that is brought in the market.

If 3 inch pipe be used, one-third more. If 2-inch pipe, as much 



more. 

 The abore quantities are rough estimates, which may be va- 

 ried by enlarging or contracting the fire, or by regulating the 

 fire door. It is possible to heat a much larger quantity of pipe 

 with the boiler, but it would be done at great loss of fuel. The 

 above proportions can be generally relied on as a near approxi- 

 mation to what is correct.
