A SPLENDID NEW LATE PEACH. 



ORTON'S "WALBERTON ADMIRABLE. — 



This splendid variety was raised at Walberton House, in 



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

 Noble^c which It much resembles, both in size and colour. 

 It possesses all the fine qualities of its parent, but its great 

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

 Of its fruit was sent to Dr. Lindley in 1841, from whom were 

 received the highest testimonials of approbation. The tree u 

 a tine, 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 Alkxanukr 

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

 Messrs Hay, Andebsov. and BaMOSTFS's, Newington Butts ;

"GENERAL TOM THUMB" SCARLET PELARGONIUM. 



PHILIP CONWAY, Nurseryman & Florist, &c, 

 Old Brompton, through the kindness of Mr. Ayres, is 

 enabled to let out a few plants of the above, which is thus de- 

 scribed in the Gardeners 9 Chronicle, page 560:— 



- Unquestionably the finest Dwarf Pelargonium out is that 

 which has this season been exhibited under the name of 

 4 General Tom Thumb.' It grows almost prostrate, is exceed- 

 ingly rich and dense in foliage, and produces with the greatest 

 profusion large trusses of the most dazzling scarlet flowers 

 imaginable. I have a plant at this moment nine inches high 

 and six feet in circumference, studded with 27 trusses of ex- 

 panded bloom, and some of the trusses six inches in diameter ; 

 and on five plants there are upwards of 120 trusses of flowers." 



For both pot cultivation and bedding out this plant is un- 

 equalled. Plants 3s. 6d. each, or 36s. per dozen, with the usual 

 discount to the trade if six are taken at one time. N,B.— At 

 the June Exhibition of the Regent's-park Society a prize was 

 awarded to the above ; also to the following desirable variety 

 of scarlets, viz. : — 



Frost's Superb, a splendid pot plant .

 himself for upwards of 57 years, is ready to dispose of the 

 BUSINESS and STOCK in TRADE ; as also to let the Shop and

 may have immediate entry to the whole premises. — Apply to 

 Mr. Grow ok Mai v. Writer. Kelso.— Oct. 29. 



I^DWARD BECK informs the Public that 

 -^ quence of the greatly increased demand for his SLATE 

 TUBS, he is enabled to reduce the price of the following sizes 

 about 10 per cent. He regrets the too frequent delay which has 

 occurred in the execution of orders. This he hopes to avoid in 

 future by keeping a supply on hand. Their suitability to the 

 growth of every description of plant is fully established, and 

 their imperishability and consequent economy is beyond dispute. 

 The following plants have been exhibited by E. Baca in slate : 

 Orchidaceae, Heaths, Pelargoniums, Calceolarias, Stove-plants, 

 Epacris, Fuchsias, and Roses. The prizes obtained by him last 

 season at the Horticultural and Botanical Society's Exhibitions, 

 were, 7 Gold medals ; 3 Silver-gilt ; 9 Silver ; 4 Certificates of 

 Merit. Price* for Cash or Post-office order :— 14 in., l is. each i

HITNEY'S PATENT CLOTH for COVERING 



GREEN-HOUSES, CUCUMBER or MELON PITS, &c. 

 This Cloth is made expressly for the purpose of applying 

 Whitney's Composition upon, and is much more durable than 

 any other material : when coated it is beautifully white and 

 transparent. The perfect success of Whitney's Composition for 

 all Horticultural purposes cannot be more fully established than 

 by stating, that, on the 1st of April last, a Black Hamburgh Vine 

 was set in a border, the stem introduced into a house covered 

 with Calico, and coated with Composition. On the 1st of Sept. 

 a bunch of Grapes was cut weighing l6£ ounces, the fruit was 

 finely coloured, and the flavour pronounced to be excellent. A 

 sample was sent up to the Editor of the Gardeners' Chronicle 

 for his inspection. The tree grew very luxuriantly, the foliage 

 very fine, and the wood ripened exceedingly well. As a winter 

 protection it is infinitely warmer than glass. 



The PATENT CLOTH and COMPOSITION can be obtained 

 of Messrs. Butler & Muckley, Covent Garden Market ; Hurst 

 & M'Mullen, Leadenhall Street; Warner & Warner, Cornhill; 

 Barclay & Sons, Farringdon Street ; and Hannay & Co., Oxford 

 Street. — Wholesale and Shipping Agent, Mr. Bailey, Wolver- 

 hampton.
