TO FLORISTS AND ADMIRERS OF FLOWERS. 



BRAIN'S CONCENTRATED LIQUID GUANO,

 out of which they weave their delicate tissues and elaborate their 

 beauteous colouring. It has no unpleasant smell, is easily applied, 

 and thus recommends itself, either for the Garden or Drawing- 

 room.— Price Is. 9d. per quart Bottle, and may be had of most 

 respectable Druggists and Seedsmen, with full directions for use 

 inclosed.— Works, Thomas-st., Stamford-st., Blackfriars-road.

MANURES.— The Readers of the Gardeners' Chro- 

 nicle must 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 daily 

 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 of 

 Guano imported into London that is brought in the market.

LIQUID MANURE. 



ENGLAND INDEPENDENT OF THE WORLD FOR CORN. 



r pHE attention of the Agricultural Interest, at this 



J- momentous crisis, is requested to the great importance of 

 LIQUID MANURE, and the ease with which it may be appro- 

 priated, by the use of FOWLER'S PUMPS, made expressly for 

 the purpose, either portable or fixed; Garden, Ship, and Barge 

 Pumps; also, those for Distillers, Brewers, Soap-boilers, and 

 Tanners, for hot and cold liquor. Pumps kept for hire, for 

 Excavations and Wells. Buildings heated by Hot Water, for 

 Horticulture, and every variety of manufacturing purpose*-. 

 The Trade supplied on advantageous terms, by Benjamix 

 Fowler, Engineer, &c, 63, Dorset-street, Fleet-street, London 



GYPSUM, &c— Pure Gypsum (Sulphate of Lime)

 Synopsis of Prices, and mode of use, on application.

TURNIPS, &c. 



DR. HALLETTS DRY SOLUBLE FERTILISERS 

 are composed of all the useful ingredients of the best Foreign 

 Guano, which manure is already nearly exhausted, and no two 

 parcels of which were ever alike. They contain also other ingre- 

 dients equally useful, and are always to be produced of uniform 

 strength j they are improvers of all soils, but most so of poor ones, 

 and cannot possibly prove injurious to soil or crop, as they contain 

 no heating or caustic materials, being simply and purely Fertil- 

 isers. Five cwt. of either of them is equal to nearly 30 tons of 

 horse-manure as a Fertiliser. They are used, the one for all the 

 varieties of Corn, Peas, Beans, Chicory, &c, and the other for 

 Turnips, Mangold Wurzel, Natural and Artificial Grasses, and all 

 Gardening purposes. This is the best protector yet discovered 

 against the Fly in Turnips, for it gives a first growth three weeks 

 beyond that of any other known Manure. Price of each Fertiliser, 

 10/. per ton, or 12s. per cwt. 



Sold by Mr. Fothkrgill, 40, Upper Thames-street; and Mr. 

 G. Hallett, at the Factory, Broadwall, Blackfriars, London. The 

 Fertilisers are manufactured under the immediate inspection of J.

TANNER'S VITREOUS FLUID and CLOTH, 

 a Substitute for Glass for Horticultural Purposes.— The 

 Vitreous Cloth proves its superiority over Glass, by producing 

 the li^ht most suitable to vegetation, superseding the neces- 

 sity of any shading, preserving a healthy moisture on the 

 plant, retaining its bloom to a more lengthened period, less ex- 

 pensive, and not requiring so much attention. The above (re- 

 taining heat) U preferable to Glass for Hothouses, &c, the 

 temperature of which is maintained with less fuel. It is 

 equally applicable as a covering for Fruit-trees, preserving 

 them from frost, blight, and excessive heat. The Vitreous 

 Cloth, made by machinery, is much superior to any prepared in 

 a different manner. By the use of the Vitreous fluid, the Cloth 

 (after lengthened service) may be renewed. 



The Fluid sold in bottles 2s. 6d. and 45. 6rf. The Cloth 2s. 6d. 

 and 3*. per yard. Manufactured by N. W. Tanner, Chemist, 

 Exeter. Agents for Exeter and vicinity, Messrs. Lucombk, 

 Pinck, & Co., Exeter Nursery. Liverpool : Mr. Ci.vm.voham, 

 Nurseryman, Paradise-street. 



N.B. The Vitreous Cloth (if fixed in the manner recommended 

 by the Proprietor) will stand a much greater pressure of air tban 

 glass. 



To Mr. N. W. Tanner— Sir, we have used your prepared 

 Cloth, and have pleasure in informing you that whilst the light 

 admitted through it is very suitable to vegetation, there has 

 been no necessity to have recourse to any extra shading during 

 the very clear, bright weather which we have so long expe- 

 rienced ; this we consider an important point. Yours, &c.

JL ROWLAND & SON, 20, Hatton Garden, London.— i 

 *' Percy Place, Landport, Portsmouth, April 4, 1844. Gentlr- 

 mir, — I think it but an act of justice to inform you of the 

 benefit I have derived from the use of your admirable Macassar 

 Oil. About six months ago I found my hair getting daily more 

 weak and thin, and much discoloured from a practice I had 

 adopted of wetting it continually ; fearing that I should 

 lose it entirely, and hearing of the efficacy of 3 our Macassar 

 Oil, I have for some time past constantly used it, and the 

 result is, that my hair is now perfectly restored and much 

 improved in appearance and colour, having become thick, 

 dark and glossy; it also curls freely without the use of 

 paper, which it never did before. To all my friends I have 

 warmly recommended your Macassar Oil as an excellent resto- 

 rative and preservative for the Hair. As I have an objection to 

 see my name in print, I beg you will not publish it ; but yoa 

 are at liberty to show this letter, or make any other use you 

 please of it, and refer applicants to me if necessary, in proof of 

 the efficacy of your Macassar Oil. Your Obt. Servant *" 



ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL preserves and reproduces the 

 Hair; prevents it from falling off or turning Gray ; changes 

 Gray Hair to its original colour; frees it from Scurf and Dan- 

 driff, and makes it beautifully soft and curly.
