NEW THUNBERGIAS. 



JOSEPH FRYER begs respectfully to offer two very 



O superb New SEEDLING THUNBERGIAS, which he h*s 

 named Alata superba and Auravtcaca superba, and wh ch 

 he intends sending out the first week in August (free by post), 

 at 5s. each, with allowance to the Trade, if three Oi more are 

 taken. For description J. F. begs to refer to the following 

 Editors' opinions :— Dr. Lindley, in last week's Chronicle— 

 "J. Fryer.— If your seedling Thunbergias called Alata superba 

 and Aurantiaca superba retain their increased size, they are 

 certainly a great improvement." Mr. Gi.knnv, in last week's 

 Gardeners' Gazette- 11 Mr. Fryer's Thunbergias, Alata superba 

 and Aurantiaca superba, are very decided improvements on the 

 previous varieties. The roundness of the fl .wer is remarkable, 

 and shows what may be done by perseverance. The vellow and 

 orange are both pure and pretty." Mr. Plant, in the" Florists' 

 Journal for December last, describes them as possessing the 

 most symmetrical outline he ever saw, and forming a perfect 

 circle-the segments of the limb overlapping to such a degree 

 as to give the flower nearly the substance of two.

MAGICAL EFFECT ON FLOWERS.— 

 Gardeners* Chronicle, April 27th.— " I cannot speak of 

 POTTER'S LIQUID GUANO in adequate terras of praise. I 

 tried it on Hyacinths, and other Flowers. The effect was 

 magical. My flowers were the finest I ever beheld, and they 

 preserved their beauty nearly double their usual time."— 

 IV. Kidd> Hammersmith. 



11 I write to describe the wonderful efficacy of POTTER'S 

 LIQUID GUANO ; Peas, Onions, and Asparagus have been sin- 

 gularly improved by it. People came to admire the appear- 

 ance of the garden."- See Chronicle, p. 406. 



%* Beware of an inefficacious imitation. See Chronicle, p. 

 405—° Humphreys's Compound."

BENTALLS' IMPROVED PAPER FOR DRYING PLANT**. 



V\T and T. BENTALL, in soliciting the attention of 



» » • Botanists to the above Paper, beg to submit to their 

 notice the following, as one of the numerous Testimonials with 

 which they have been favoured : — 



" Gevtlkme.v,— Though my trial of your new Botanical 

 Paper has been short, 1 think it may safely be pronounced the 

 best combination of the qualities required in such paper that F 

 have hitherto met with, after trying several kinds, both British 

 made and Foreign. 



u It seems probable that your Paper will prove more service- 

 able to the Botanical traveller than the thick grey Paper often 

 sent with specimens from Germany, and much esteemed by 

 English Botanists; but having the serious defect of extreme 

 liability to tear, which does not appear in your Paper. It cer- 

 tainly ouuht to supersede the demy Grey recommended in the 

 Instructions issued by the Botanical Society of Edinburgh." — 

 H. C Watson, Esq., F.L.S., Vice-President of the Botanical 

 Society of London. 



Pkofkssor Lindlky, University College, London, & C. C. B. 

 Babington, Esq., F.L.S., St. John's College, Cambridge, have 

 also kindly allowed the use of their names as strongly recom- 

 mending it. 



May be had of the Manufacturers, Halstead, Essex ; and of 

 their agents, Mr. E. Newman, 9, Devonshire-street, Bishops- 

 gate-street, Lonoovj and Mr, R. S. McLvtosh, 12, Cathaiiu*- 

 stre et, Edinburgh.

If 3 inch pipe he used, one-third more. If 2-inch pipe, as mucn 



more. 

 The above quantities are rou§h 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 M a otux approxi- 

 mation to what is correct.

UUMPHREYS'S SOLUBLE COMPOUND.—

 Plants produce a vigorous growth and splendid flowers. If what

IT OT- WATER APPARATUS FOR HEATING 



" HORTICULTURA I. BUILDINGS, 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. BAiLuvhaving devoted much time to the considera- 

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

 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 thecharge. 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 oi London, inexecuting 



the works of their splendid Conservatory, lately erected at 

 Chiswick. 



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

 Horticultural Buildingsand Sashcs.and invitenoblemen, gentle- 

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

 and models, at 2;2, Holborn, wheretheyhavetheopportunitv of 

 exhibiting, amongst other metal works, an extremely complete 

 and convenient kitchen apparatus, or range, adapted for thecon- 

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

 more complete than has hitherto been brought before the public. 



D. and E. Ba i i.ky 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. Bailkt 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. 



RENDLE'S TANK SYSTEM OF HEATING. 



STEPHENSON and CO., 61, Gracechurch-itreet, 

 Lohdon, Inventors of the IMPROVED CONICAL and 

 DOUBLE CYLINDRICAL BOILERS, having been much en- 

 gaped 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 ovcrevery other 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 can 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 he applied to Boiler* 

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

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

 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.

MANURES.— The Readers of the Gardeners 1 Chro- 

 nicle mu>t have noticed the complaints constantly made 

 there of the Adulterations of Manures, and which are novr 

 carried onto a fearful extent.

 communication with several scientific Chemists, calls the atten- 

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

 of supplying Manures, by which a genuine article is 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 buying and 

 forwarding. 



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

 Guano imported into London that is brought in the market.
