A SPLENDID NEW LATE PEACH. 



MORTON'S •* WALBERTON ADMIRABLE."— 

 This splendid variety was raised at Walbertoi. House, in 

 Sussex, the seat of R. Prime, Esq. It is a Seedling from the 

 Noblesse, which it much resembles, both in size and colour. 

 It possesses all the fine qualities of its parent, but its *reat 

 merit arises from its ripening full five weeks later. A specimen 

 of its fruit was sent to Dr. Lino lev in 1841, from whom were 

 received the highest testimonials of approbation. The tree is 

 a fine, free, and hardy grower; the fruit is full-sized, melting, 

 and excellent-flavoured, rendering it a truly desirable va- 

 riety, and one which no good garden ought to be without. 

 Good one year's trained plants can be obtained of Alkxandkk. 

 Webb, Nurseryman, Westergate, near Arundel, Sussex ; at 

 Messrs. Hay, Anderson, and Savcster's, Newington Butt> 

 and also at Messrs. Hurst and M'Mullkn's, 6, Leadcnha. 

 street, London, at 10s. 6rf. each ; a few strong plants at 15/. 

 each. The U6ual allowance to the Trade when three or more 

 are taken, and carriage paid to London. Remittance from 

 unknown correspondents is required.

 cultural Society's Show, held at Northallerton, in Sept. last.

TO THE PLANTERS OF ENGLAND.— TRUE HIGHLAND 



PINK. 



TAMES GRIGOR, Nurseryman, Norwich, begs to 



*' remind such of the Planters of England as are anxious to 

 enhance the beauty and value of their ires that he is now 

 sending out plants of this recently introduced and very desir- 

 able timber-tree, at the undermentioned prices: — 



Single plains, itrong and well rooted . . 6rf. each 

 Strong plants, 20 inches high . . . 5 #. per 1 00. 



e iP ' • , 1 . 8 »» ... 80*. per 1000. 



Smaller-sized plants . . from 10*. to 20* 



For introducing this tree Messrs. QaiOOR, of Elgin 'and 

 torres, were awarded several premiums by the Hi; md and 

 Agricultural Society of Scotland, where it is rapidly supersedlnr 

 the common Pine. In its old age it asaumes in a great measure 

 the darksome grandeur of the Cedar of Lebanon, and is there- 

 fore invaluable for planting in masses throughout the more 

 prominent parts of distant landscapes. Sir Walter Scott 

 describes it as presenting much of "the bold and contorted 

 figure of the Oak ; " and the Quarterly Re recommends it 



as an acquisition to churchyards and cemeteries. It it hiehlv 

 esteemed for all economical purposes, on account of the hard. 

 ness and durability of its wood. 



N.B.— J. G. has for the present disposed of all his potted 

 plants ; but as the others have excellent roots, there is no risk 

 in removing them. A supply in pots will be ready in the course 

 of next month.
