TO NOBLEMEN AND GENTLEMEN'S GARDENERS. 



I?ARLY POTATO SEED.— M. SMITH having 

 -J been very successful in raising Early Potatoes from the 

 Seed of the Potato Plum, is happy in being able to offer 

 Potatoes for seed of so early and fi..e a quality as has not been 

 equalled. The first is his six weeks Dwarf Seedling. This is a 

 very fine early Potato ; so early that with ordinary cultivation it 

 will be ready for use in six weeks from the time of planting. It is 

 particularly well adapted for forcing, being so dwarfi-.li in the 

 stem as not to exceed from four to six inches in height. The 

 Potato is very shallow-eyed, and of first-rate quality, but not 

 large, the largest being about the size of a bantam's egg.— 



Price f 2U*. the imperial pound. # # 



Second, his prize-taking Seedling. This is a very early, 

 large and fine Potato; shallow- eyed. It has taken the first 

 prize at the Berwickshire Horticultural Shows during the last 

 two years for its size, beauty, and good quality.— Price 15*. the 



imperial stone. 



Third, his second Early Seedling. This is a Potato of first- 

 rate quality— comes in class after the Prize-taker ; is a rich 

 bearer and shallow-eyed, making up the blank between the first 

 Early and what is commonly termed American or Second Early. 

 —Price 15*. the imperial stone. 



Those wishing to be supplied with seed of any of the above 

 Seedling Potatoes will address their order to Mr. Smith, Gar- 

 dener, Ayton, Berwickshire, with a Post-office order for the 

 amount of their demand. They are requested to give their 

 address distinctly, that the Potatoes may be forwarded without 

 delay to tho proper quarter. Early application will be neces- 

 sary to obtain a supply, as the stock is limited. 



All orders will be punctually attended to, and the Potatoes 

 forwarded, packed in boxes, with moss or hay, to protect them 

 from injury by carriage. Ayton , Aug. 9. 18*4. M - Smith. _ 



BENTALL'S~IMPROVED paper for drying plants. 

 ~\\T and T. BENTALL earnestly invite the atten- 



V V « tion of Botanists to the above Paper ; its perfect adapta- 

 tion to the purpose for which it is prepared having been fully- 

 proved. The following valuable testimonial has been lately 



received : — 



'* 1 highly approve of your new Paper for drying plants, and 



consider it far preferable to the Cambridge Chalk Paper, which 



I previously employed, but which will now be entirely discarded 



by me in the preparation of plants for the herbarium. I have 



also found it most valuable in drying Alga;, the most decisive 



test, in my opinion, to which such papers can be subjected; 



and can safely recommend it to all engaged in the study of 



these plants."— Rev. W. S. Hore, MA. F.L.S., &c. t Stoke, 



Veronport.

SMITH'S FIELD and GARDEN SEED-DIBBLE, 

 or HAND MACHINE, for depositing all kinds of Seed on 

 the various Soils, with the greatest accuracy and despatch. — 

 This Machine is so simple in its construction and operation as 

 not to be liable to get out of order, and can be used by men or 

 women. It is easily set, so as to deliver the exact quantity of 

 Seed intended to be planted, into each hole made by the Dibble, 

 at one operation, without any further care than supplying it 

 with Seed, by the person using it, and will plant Turnip and 

 Mangold Wurzel Seed, Wheat, Barley, Peas, and all kind of 

 Garden Seeds. 1/. 10*. each. Commission allowed to Agents. 

 These Dibbles may be obtained of Messrs. Cottam and 

 Hai.lkn,2, Winsley-st., Oxford-st., London, through the agency 

 of the principal Agricultural Implement Sellers, in the United 

 Kingdom ; or from the Inventor, by letter, to his address, in- 

 closing a Post-office order for the amount. — Richard Smith, 

 Upper Hall, near Droitwich, Worcestershire.

CONSTRUCTION OF HOTHOUSES, &c. 



ryHE great want of skill in the construction of Old 



„ HOTHOUS ES, &c. as well as in the cultivation of that most 

 liberal of all plants, the VINE; the loss sustained on moneys ex- 

 pended on horticultural erections, without studying the conve- 

 nience and capabilities or such erections being made available to 

 the double purpose of a Stove and Vinery, must be manifest to all 

 practical men. As every Hothouse, Stove, or Greenhouse, is con- 

 vertible into a Vinery 7 months in every year, it is the intention 

 of the writer, a thoroughly practical gardener, to offer his services, 

 and tender his advice ID alterations of old or new works of this 

 kind, on such terms as must insure his engagement by all parties 

 about to erect or alter buildings of this description. To all Ame- 

 teurs. Gardeners, and others lacking skill, wh crop of (.rapes 

 or Vines have failed, within 7 miles or London, he offers his ser- 

 vices, advice, and directional attendance, from W. per year; and 

 pledges himself to insure a crop on the principle of No cure, no 



Say. No crop, no money. For further particulars, apply by letter, 

 -closing 2 penny stamps, when a prospectus, &c. will be forwarded.

II OT-WATEK APPARATUS FOR HiSATlNb 



O- HORTICULTURAL BUILDINGS,DWELLING-HOUSES, 

 CHURCHES, and MANUFACTORIES, upon improved prin- 

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

 EDWARD BAILEY, 2J2, HOLBORN. 



D.andE. BAiLBVhaving devoted much time to the considera- 

 tion of this subject, and had much experience in theerection of 

 apparatus forthe 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.Bailbv also construct in metal all descriptions of 



Horticultural Uuildingsand Sashes,and invitenoblemen, gentle- 

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

 and models, at 272, Holborn.wheretheyhavetheopportunity of 

 exhibiting, amongst other metal works, an extremely complete 

 and convenient kitchen apparatus, or range, adaptedforthecon- 

 tinued .upply of hot water, and an arrangement of the oven 

 more comoletethanhashithertobeen brought before the public. 



D. and E. Bailey were the first to introduce metallic curvili- 

 aear houses to horticulturists, and can referto 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 anew Trough Pipe, for 

 Orchidaceous or other Houses where vapour is constantly, or at 

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

GUANO (GENUINE PERUVIAN & BOLIVIA 

 ON SALE, BY THE ONLY LEGAL IMPORTERS ' 

 ANTONY GIBBS and SONS, LONDON- 

 Wm. J. MYERS and CO., LIVERPOOL; 

 And by their Agents, 



COTESWOKTH, POWELL, A.vn PRYOR, LONDON- 

 GIBBS, BRIGHT, & CO., LIVERPOOL and BRISTOL 

 47, Lime-street, Aug. 6, 1844. 



GUANO.— For Sale, in bags of I cwt. each; just 

 landed, with a succession of cargoes to arrive. 



There being considerable variety in the qualities of Guano 

 imported from different places, and indeed from the same 

 island, each parcel will be chemically analysed with the utmost 

 precision, to show its relative productive power. A copy of 

 such analysis will be given to buyers, and also 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 Ship, or water- 

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

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

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

 James Clark, 24, Billiter-street. 



Sales ij> Suction. 





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



more. 

 The above 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. 



RENDLE'S TANK SYSTEM OF HEATING. 



STEPHENSON and CO., 61, Gracechurch-street, 

 London, Inventors of the IMPROVED CONICAL and 

 DOUBLE CYLINDRICAL BOILERS, having been much en- 

 gaged inheatingbuildings 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 overevery 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 be applied to Boilers 

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

 will befound 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 applica tio n to S. and Co. 



CIONICAL BOILERS. — The Boilers invented by 

 J John Rogers, Esq., are made of several sizes, and may 

 be obtained of John Shbwkn, Ironmonger, Sevenoaks, Kent. 



They may be seen in operation at Messrs. Chandler's, Vaux- 

 hall} Loddiges', Hackney; Henderson's, Pine-apple-place, Edg-
