Waite's Queen of Dwarf Peas, per quart „ t j s q (1 



A splendid new variety, growing only 1 foot high, 

 producing a larger pod than any of the same 



habit; the seed is quite distinct from all others, 

 and larger than any Dwarf Pea in cultivation. 

 It has been grown at the Royal Gardens at 

 Frogmore, and approved of as a new variety, 

 and also at Her Majesty's table, for its superior 

 flavour.

KNAP- HILL NURSERY, NtAR BAGSHOT, SUitREYT" 



TTOSEA WATERER (Brother and Successor to the 



J--1- late Micha.il Watereb), rcpectfully begs to announce 

 that the American Plants this year are remarkably well fur- 

 nished with bloom ; and with the o'her articles which arc gene- 

 rally required for forcing, he has this season to offer very fine 

 plants oi the hardy Scarlet Rhododendrons. This Nursery has 

 long been celebrated as containing the finest Collection of 

 American Plants in the kingdom ; independent of this, H. W. 

 is a most extensive grower of Hardy Ornamental Trees and 

 Shrubs, Roses, Forest and Fruit Trees ; this may be inferred 

 from the tact, that the Nursery extends over near 100 acres of 

 land. The Knap-Hill Nursery is 2$ miles from the Wokinjr 

 station of the South Western Railway. 



All letters intended for this Nursery must be addressed Knap- 

 Hill, n o Bag»hot, Surrey.— Nov. 30. 



rPHOMAS JACKSON, of the Priory Farm, Childwail, 



-A- near Liverpooi, begs to inform Nursery, Seedsmen, and 

 others, that he has saved a fine quantity of the Incomparable 

 Hardy Green COLEWORT, which was Advertised in the Chro- 

 nicle of -23d March last. T. J. can refer any person to a respect- 

 able Nurseryman in this neighbourhood, as to quality and being

 A - J quenceof the greatly increased demand for his SLATE

 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.

WHITNEY'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 164 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 Ilannay & Co., Oxford

 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. 



T")R. HALLETT'S DRY SOLUBLE FERTI- 



A-^ LIZERS are, considering- their power, the cheapest Ma- 

 nures in use, for they are entirely composed of the Phosphates 

 and other Salts of Ammonia, and other acknowledged powerful 

 fertilizers. They are fairly before the Poblic as tried things 

 (see No. 33 of the Gardeners 1 Chronicle, &c). 5 cwt. of either 

 has been found equal to nearly 3* tons of ordinary horse- 

 manure. They are applicable to all sorts of field and garden 

 crops. No. 1 for heavy top growth, as Corn, Hops, &c. No. 2 

 is for all roots, and a sure preventive of the Fly in Turnips. 

 Price of each, 10/. per ton, or 12*. per cwt. 



DR. HALLETT'S CONCENTRATED LIQUID FERTILIZER 

 is extensively used by Gardeners for impiovingthe size and 

 flavour of fruits and vegetables, and the colours, and perfecting 

 the seed of flowers. Sold in quarts at 1*. 6d., and in bottles, six 

 times the size, at 7s. 6d. Each quart requires 32 gallons of 

 water, to reduce it for ose.

 applying the Tank system to Pineries, Propagating Houses, &c. 

 by which atmospheric heat as well as bottom-heat is secured 

 to any required degree without the aid of pipes or flues. 

 S. & Co. have also to state that at the request of numerous 

 friends they are now making their Boilers of Iron as well as 

 Copper, by which the cost is reduced. These Boilers, which are 

 now so well known, scarcely require description, but to those 

 who have not seen them in operation, prospectuses will be for- 

 warded as well as reference of the highest authority; or they 

 may be seen at most of the Nobility's seats and principal 

 Nurseries throughout the kingdom.
