 at all the Horticultural Exhibitions in the early part of the 

 season. Also Plants of the " British Queen," " Deptford Pine,"

CAMELLIA JAPONICA. 



ROBERT LAWSON, Esq., of Tiverton, intends 

 disposing of his stock of Camellias, which he has collected 

 at much expense, and successfully cultivated for many years. 

 They are in the highest state of health, and most abundantly 

 set with blooming buds. Mr. L. disposes of them solely in 

 consequence of their having become too large for his conser- 

 vatory. They are as follow : — £ s. d.

TRUE HIGHLAND PINE. 



TAMES GRIGOR, Nurm.ryman, Norwich, begs to 



U call the attention of the Land Proprietors of England to 

 this very desirable variety of Pinus syhestris, which has been 

 raised fr mseeda collected on the mountains of Strathspey, and 

 of which he has strong plants ready to be sent out. For intro- 

 ducing this tree Messrs. GaiooR, of Forres and Elgin, were 

 awarded several premiums by the Highland and Agiicultnral 

 Socuty of Scotland; and in that part of thecountrv this Pine 

 is rapidly superseding the common soft-wooded rariety. For 

 all economical purposes its chief merit consists in the hardneK 

 and durability of its wood ; hence it is much sought after at 

 present for railway sleepers. Pictorially considered, or as a 

 ndscapc ornament, it rivals even the Cedar of Lebanon. Sir 

 Walter Scott describes it as assuming much of "the bold and 

 contorted figure of the Oak;" and in the last No. of the Quar- 

 terly Review it is recommended as a fit tree to be planted ia 

 churchyards and cemeteries.

J. G. would recommend all who require them to furnish them- 

 selves immediately with these Pines, and to plant them forth- 

 with. Spring planting is exceedingly hazardous; and when 

 followed by such a season as was experienced during the com- 

 mencement of the present summer, the young trees are sure to 

 be killed.
