JOHNSON'S GARDENERS' ALMANACK, FOR 



** 1845. 



"I see several improvements are introduced in the Gar- 

 dners' Almanack for 1845, which make it still more useful. 

 The first attempt last year obtained great praise and patronage, 

 and that very justly— a proof that sound useful information at 

 a cheap rate, even in an Almanack, is a profitable subject ; and 

 it must be a source of great pleasure to those, like the editor, 

 who see thpir industry and talents thus appreciated." — Mr. D. 

 Beaton, Gardener to Sir W. Middleton, Shrubland Park, Dec. 11. 



"This is much the best Gardeners' Almanack which has yet 

 appeared ; ir abounds with useful information for the horticul- 

 turist, and should be taken by all true lovers of gardenin

TTNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL. — The 



^ favourable consideration of those beneficent persons who 

 at this festive season seek for opportunities of heightenin 

 their own social enjoyments by the exercise of their power t« 

 relieve the surlerings of others is earnestly supplicated in 

 behalf of this Charity. 



Ths unusual severity of the early winter, and the eagerness, 

 notonly of the destitute sick of the neighbourhood, but of poor 

 persons afflict-d with disease in distant counties, for the advice 

 and treatment, of the medical officers and attendants of this 

 Hospital, have recently occasioned a great increase in the 

 number of patients, and consequent augmentation of expense, 

 which the funds of the Institution are but ill able to bear. 



Under sucn circumstances the attention of the benevolent is 

 requested with confidence to this appeal for their as.- .nee. 



The number who annually receive relief at this Hospital is 

 nearly 15,000. The expense amounts to about 4500/ , or which 

 the principal portion, namely, 2800/., is derived from the tees of 

 students for attendance on the practice of the medii and sur- 

 gical officers, by whom they are devoted to the maintenance of 

 the Hospital. The annual subscriptions, notwithstanding a 

 late considerable increase, do not exceed 600/. After allowing 

 for casual donations, a deficiency of about 1000/. has yearly to 

 be provided for. 



The Hospital, as it at present exists, is calculated for the re- 

 ception of 25 more in-pattents than it actually contain*, and it 

 is the limited income of the establishment alone which prevents 

 the admission of that additional number. The ground for a 

 second wing to the Hospital is lying waste; wnilesuch awing, 

 if the means of erecting, furnishing, and maintaining it ex- 

 isted, and it were completed, would allow of aiurther increase 

 of 50 in-patients. 



The Committee take this opportunity of acknowledging the 

 following contributions recently received : —
