(See GABDiyEES T CbboviclBj Dec. 30th, 1854.) 



Mil. JOHN HENDERSON, formerly of the firm 

 of Jon A. llnrDEBSoy & Co., Pine Apple Place, London, 

 haa the 1 or to announce that he is prepared to supply Gentle- 

 men, Amat»urs,a Professionals, with seed of this most valuable 



and estimable plant. 



As "I rea Batatas seems w«-ll adapted to make good any 



deficiency ai - from failure in the Potato crops, so this appears 

 rably calculated torn tmany wants of the present day. That 

 It may be used for the pun s of distillation, and may therefore 

 preserve the grain of the country, is not leas certain than that 

 the leaf and stem (after the saccharine matter has been extracted) 

 c 1 a large amount of fibre, of such a nature as can be em- 



ployed in the manufacture of every kind of paper. In both these 

 points, aa well as In many others, this plant demands the atten- 

 tion of every Gardener and Amateur throughout the country'; 

 the more so as from the necessity that at present exists for the 

 pro<! n of fibres that may be us< in paper manufacture a due 

 remuneration may be fairly expected by growers, even after the 

 plant has, so to speak, paid itself by the saccharine matter 

 Ctracted from It. 

 Mr llasm hopes, In a few days, to have r^ady for the 



press a more. It-nut' *1 account of this plant, as well as a com- 

 plete statement of the latest experiments in c« nne< n with the 

 Dloeeorea Batatas. As there are many varieties of the Holcus 

 \\ ill. can only be responsible for seed forwarded by himself, 

 which he is prepared to do in sealed packets, at Is., 2s. 6d. r 5r^

 waa planted with Regents Potatoes in A3 I last, some of which 

 wew prepared by you. Th* result now i that the whole of the 

 crop ttom the unprepared sets Is thoroughly diseased, and hardly 

 worth t' onble of taking up : while raised b he side of

 preserva* 1 from the dtiemse, but the pre ce Is mnch jrreater,— 



he Potatoes are more nnmp- than th there : indeed, if there 

 were no such thing as the disease to be feared, it would be worth 

 the trouble and e* peine of preparing the sets by your process, 

 even for the sake of the improved crops. I shall certainly >r 

 the future, prepare all my Potatoes for seed by your process ; and 

 I intend to adopt it for preserving my W heat from the Si t.

The entire stock of all Seedling Fuchsias distinguished witS 

 a white Corolla were purchased for ONE HUNDRED GUIXE, 

 of the late W. Story, Esq., of Newton, in the county of Devon, ih 

 succeeded in introducing this great novelty. And in consequent^ 

 an advertisement which appeared a few weeksback in theGardt^i 

 Chronicle from Messrs Lucombe, Pince, & Co., of Exeter, offend 

 two new Fuchsias similar in character to those purchased of Xr. 

 Story, and after a written communication with that gentleoj 

 (who was then confined to his bed by illness) it was thongs 

 necessary for one of the firm to make further inquiries sW 

 them, and in consequence Mr. Andrew Henderson went • 

 Exeter and Newton, when he was informed by a jobaig 

 gardener at Newton that he had received Seven Pounds fc 

 them after (as the said jobbing gardener stated) he bad Wi 

 offered £20 for them by a nurseryman in London, but wi* 

 name or address he did not know. 



Messrs. E. G. II. & Son think the above explanations necessity 

 in consequence of a great number of their customers harof 

 ordered them at higher prices than those quoted. This redow 

 is made in consequence of information which they have recerrjj 

 that leaves no doubt on their minds but that those to be sem« 

 by Messrs. Lucombe, Pince, & Co. are similar in character* 

 the above.— Wellington Nursery, St. John's Wood, Fejr narT

TILEY'S SEEDLING POTATO— THE CHAMP 105 



KIDNEY.— Never before sent out. v ^ 



This Potato bears a great resemblance to that fine oiarjjjj 

 the Ashleaf Kidney; it possesses the following good qw« 

 over the Ashleaf. If planted at the same time it will he ten . 

 earlier, all the sets always vegetate well, and do not ^ e <£," 1 

 ground as the Ashleaf does; 2 pecks of seed will pr™ ^ 

 greater weight of Potatoes than 3 pecks of the Ashl ?Sw&l 

 quite equal to that in flavour, and is eatable during t] * £ 

 winter. Sets that have had the shoots broken off irre ^ 

 times during the spring will vegetate again as if it h&a ^^l 

 first shoot. About twenty Gentlemen and Gardeners ^^ 

 seed to plant last season have assured me that they neve 

 grew any Potato to equal it, and should continue to fiF !^ 

 first early Potato. Numerous orders have been a1read J. ffie r 

 from persons who saw it growing during the la3t suin ^
