/^ORNISH KIDNEY POTATOES.— THE EAR- 



\S U r OF ALL EARLY POTATOES. It is remarkable 

 that this valuable sort should he so little known and cultivated 

 in England. It is grown to some extent in the West of Corn 



Wall, AND HAS R* PKODUCH' IN THK OPKN OROUND DURING 



THK LAST TUN VBAHS, FROM TBI 15TH tO 18TH OF APRIL, (Oil 



an average.) 



Upwards of three hundred acres are annually grown in the 



neighbourhood of Penzance ; and thousands of baskets are 



sent, by steamers, to supply the London and Bristol Markets. 



The growers obtain them so early, that they are enabled to 

 procure an excellent second crop on the same land. 



It is a most valuable tort, and should be growu in every 

 garden where early vegetables are r. quired. 



Sold in Hampen, containing 2 and 3 gallons, at 5*. and J». 

 each, i irkage and carriage free to London or Bristol, which 

 will be forwarded on receiving a Post-office order, on applica-

HERTFORD NURSERIES. 



I? P. FRANCIS having received various Testimo- 

 -i • nials from Gentlenlen, &c, as to the excellence and 

 superiority of NOVV'S WINTER WHITE BROCOLI, adver- 

 ted in tne Chronicle last season, begs now to inform the No- 

 bility, Gentry, and Public, that it may be obtained at the Hert- 

 ford Nurseries, Messrs. Noble, 152 Fleet-street, Messrs. Wrench, 

 London-bridge, and Messrs. Flanagan, Mansion House-street, 



at 2*. 6d. per oz. 



E. P. F. begs further to recommend to those persons who 

 have not yet obtaiued it, SNOW'S HYBRID GREEN-FLESH 

 MELON, which was awarded a Knightian Medal at the Chis- 

 wick Show in May last, and which cannot be surpassed for 

 hardy habit, most abundant bearer, and superiority of flavour 

 over every other Melon exhibited at the same time. To 

 be obtained at the Hertford Nurseries only, in sealed Packets 

 containing eight seeds, 3*. 6d. each. 



Also. E. P. F. begs to introduce to. Public notice, SNOW'S 

 HARDY MATCHLESS GREEN COS LETTUCE, which has 

 been proved by several growers to be superior in flavour and 

 sweetness to any other Lettuce grown, very crisp, very hardy, 

 requires no tying up, and is fit for use three weeks earlier than 

 the common Green Cos, in sealed Packets, 1*. 6rf. each. 



E. P. F. has also received from Mr. Snowa few Packets of his 

 HORTICULTURAL PRIZE CUCUMBER, each Packet con- 

 taining 7 M'eds, 2*. 6d. per packet; also a small quantity of his 

 very fine CHINESE PRIMULA Seed, of the white and purple 

 kinds, and all saved from beautiful fringed varieties, in Packets, 

 2s. each.— Dec. 21, 1844. 



il I ! KTS 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 i6£ 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, Cornhili; 

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

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

 hampton.

TANNER'S VITREOUS CLOTH, a SUBSTI- 

 TUTE for GLASS for HORTICULTURAL PURPOSES. - 

 The above recommends itself to the notice of Florists and Hor- 

 ticulturists, as producing effects superior to Glass, at a less ex- 

 pense. The support the Proprietor has received from very 

 many highly respectable Florists encourages him to consider 

 that his labours have not been misapplied in bringing before 

 the public an article so generally required. Price of cloth, 

 7-Sths of a yard wide, thin, 2*. Qd. per yard. ; stout, 3*. 1 yard 

 wide, 3*. 6d. Price of Fluid (for renewing the cloth after ' 

 lengthened service), 4*. 6d. and 2*. 6d. per bottle. Manufac- 

 tured only by N. W. Tanvkr, Chemist, Exeter: and Sold by 

 Messrs. Butler and Muckley, Covent-garden, London ; Mr. 

 Cunningham, Paradise-street, Liverpool; Messrs. Lucombe and 

 Pince, Exeter Nursery. ___ 



LAND TO LET.— Most desirable and important 

 opening to those now engaged in the Nursery Garden 

 Business, or who have a knowledge of it. From THREE to 

 NINE or more ACRES of LAND, where the soils are peculiars 

 suited for the purpose, and in a most eligible situation, close to 

 the suburbs of Ipswich, may be hired at a moderate Rent, 

 there being now no Nursery Grounds anywhere near Ip-wich, 

 except on a very limited scale. All the Land may be had at 

 once, or it may be taken by degrees. The character and qua- 

 lification of any proposed tenant would be strictly examined. 

 If requested (probably) the assistance of some capital might be 

 given ; and also that of an industrious and prudent Partner, 

 with Capital, as well as other advantages. — Apply to Mr. F. 

 Harvev, Tower Church Yard, Ipswich. 



F WEEKS AND DAY, Architects, &c, Glou- 



O • cester Place, King's Road, Chelsea, HORTICULTURAL 

 BUILDERS, and Hot-water Apparatus Manufacturers, invite 

 the attention of Horticulturists to their Improved Plan of Bot- 

 tom-Heat, now becoming so universally adopted. 



From the extensive Practice they have been honoured with 

 for 20 years in designing and building CONSERVATORIES, 

 GREENHOUSKS, HOTHOUSES, PITS, &c. &c, and erecting 

 their HOT- WATER APPARATUS to every descn k tion of 

 Buildings to which heat is applicable, J. Wkkks and Dav 

 have the greatest confidence in recommending their 

 BOILERS as the most efficient of any yet invented, their 

 largest being capable of heating a range of Forcing Houses 300 

 feet in length, with a comparatively small quantity of fuel, and 

 only requiring attention once in 10 hours. To be seen in use at 

 most of the London Nurseries, also at their Manufactory ; and a 

 variety of Horticultural Er ections, Models. Plan*. &r &c. 



HOT-WATER APPARATUS FOR HEATING 

 HORTICULTURAL BUILDINGS.DWELLING-HOUSES, 

 CHURCHES, and MANUFACTORIES, upon improved princi- 

 ples, and at very moderate charges, erected by DANIEL and 

 EDWARD BAILEY, 272, HOLBORN. 



D. and E.IUiley having devoted much time to the considera- 

 tion of this subject, and had much experience in the erection of 

 apparatus for the above-mentioned purposes, have, by improve- 

 ments suggested in their practice, rendered their mode of heat- 

 ing not only very efficient, but very simple, and have combined 

 durability in the apparatus with economy in the charge. They 

 have erected apparatus in England, Scotland, and Ireland, for 

 many noblemen and gentlemen, and have had the honour to be 

 employed by the Horticultural Society of London, in executing the 

 works of their splendid Conservatory, lately erected at Chiswick. 



D. and E. Bailky also construct in metal all descriptions of 

 Horticultural Buildings and Sashes, and invite noblemen, gentle- 

 men, and the public to an inspection of their various drawings 

 and models, at 272, Holborn, where they have the opportunity of 

 exhibiting, amongst other metal works, an extremely complete 

 and convenient kitchen apparatus, or range, adapted for the con- 

 tinued supply of hot water, and an arrangement of the oven 

 more complete than has hitherto been brought before the public. 



D and E. Bailey were the first to introduce metallic curvili- 

 near houses to horticulturists, and can refer to the Conservatory 

 attached to the Pantheon as one of their works, besides many 

 others in this country and on the Continent. 



D. and E. Bailey have prepared a quantity of the Galvanic 

 Plant Protectors, which are now ready for immediate delivery ; 

 they beg to introduce to public notice a new Trough Pipe, for 

 Orchidaceous or other Houses where vapour is constantly, or at 

 intervals required, and which may be see n at their Manufactory. 



COTTAM and" HALLEN, Engineers, iron- 

 PODNDERS, &C, &C, NO. 2, WlNSLEY-STRKET, OXFORD- 



strebt, London, and at Cornwall Road, Lambeth. 



HOTHOUSES, CONSERVATORIES, &c, made 



up-m the most improved principle, either of iron or of iron and 

 wood combined, which can be fixed complete in any part of the 

 Kingdom, at very low prices. 



HOT-WATER APPARATUS for heating Hothouses, 



Conservatories, and Greenhouses; Churches, Public or Private 

 Buildings, &c, with Cottam's Patent or Rogers's Boilers. 

 After 15 years' experience, and having fixed upwards of 2000 

 Apparatus for the above-mentioned purposes, and by various 

 improvements which they have made during that time, C. and 

 H. can with confidence undertake the erection of similar Appa- 

 ratus upon the most extensive scale. 



Materials may be had for those who wish to fix their own 

 Apparatus. 



THE TANK SYSTEM on an improved principle, 



that will heat the house at the same time, without pipes. 



IRON HURDLES, best Wire for Strained Fencing, 



Ornamental Iron and Wire-work, Garden Chairs, &c, &c, and 

 *>very description of Implement for Agricultural and Horti- 

 cultural Purposes. 



Show Rooms at their Manufactory, 2, Winsley- street. Oxford- 

 street, where a large assortment of the above can be seen. 



STEPHENSON and CO., 61, Gracechnrch-street, 

 London, and 17, New Park -street, South wark, Inventors 

 and Manufacturers of the Improved CONICAL and DOUBLE 

 CYLINDRICAL BOILERS, respectfully solicit the attention of 

 scientific Horticulturists to their much approved method of 

 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. 



S. & Co. beg to inform the Trade that at their Manufactory in 

 New Park-st., every article required for the construction of 

 Horticultural Buildings, as well as for heating them, may be 

 obtained upon the most advantageous terms. 



Conservatories, &c. of Iron or Wood, erected upon the most 

 ornamental designs. Balconies, Palisading, Field, and Garden 

 Fences, Wire Work, &c. &c. 



HOT -WATER HEATING APPARATUS— 

 J. PORTER begs to announce that, in addition to the many 

 other and valuable purposes for which Galvanised Iron is pecu- 

 liarly applicable, he is now manufacturing Tanks and Gutter fai 

 Vaporising, and Pipes for heating by top and bottom-heat, Hot- 

 houses, Pineries, Conservatories, &c. J. P. has also to state that 

 having secured the assistance of parties of the greatest skill and* 

 experience, he is prepared to furnish Plans and Estimates for 

 Heating and Ventilating Horticultural Buildings, Public Edifices 

 Private Houses, Churches, Warehouses, Manufactories, &c, ac- 

 companied by references to executed works. J. P. does not profesi 

 to offer any one particular form of Boiler as the best, to the ex- 

 clusion of every other, but adopts those which will insure the 

 greatest share of efficacy and economy, in each particular case.—

~ IMPROVED ROOFING FELT. 



McKIBBIN'S PATENT ROOFING 

 FELT 

 Is particularly applicable as a Substitute for Slate, Zinc, Tilese, 

 Thatch, and other articles used for Roofing, from its Economy, 

 Durability, and Lightness. It is quite impervious to wet and 

 damp, resists the heat of the sun, and is a non-conductor of 

 heat or cold. Besides the economy in repairs, the timber where 

 it is used may be so light as to save its whole expen**. It 

 requires no other coping, and by attention to printed directions 

 may be applied by a common labourer. It is free from break- 

 age and contraction, like zinc, and requires neither painting 

 nor coating. It is now in very general use for Roofing Houses, 

 Verandahs, Sheds, Workshops, Ropewalks, Railway Stations, 

 Icehouses, &c. &c, and for protecting Plants, covering Garden 

 Frames, Corn, and Hay Ricks, the top and sides of Sheep-folds ; 

 and to Emigrants it provides a cheap, warm, durable, and 



portable Roof. 



This Improved Roofing Felt is much more durable than the 

 common Felt, made in lengths, not being subject, like it or 

 other materials in continuous lengths, to be stripped by storm ; 

 and being fastened down at the overlaps only, the wet cannot 



percolate through the nail-holes.
