GRASS SEEDS. 



SUTTON'S GRASS SEEDS (Carriage Free). 

 NATURAL GRASS SEEDS FOR PERMANENT 

 PASTURES, separate or mixed, expressly to suit the soil. 

 — Messrs. Sutton and Sons having for many years paid 

 especial attention to the examination of Natural Pastures, and 

 the collecting of the Grasses which thrive in the various soils of 

 Great Britain and Ireland, are enabled to supply the sorts and 

 quantities of Seeds, varied to suit the soil for which they are 

 intended, The cost will vary from 24s. to 30s. P er acre, 

 according to the sorts and quantities the soil requires. 



FINE LAWN GRASS SEEDS, for making New or improving 

 Old Lawns, price Is. per pound, 2s. Gd. per gallon, or 20s. 

 per bushel. For forming new Lawns, 2\ bushels, or 50 lbs., is 

 the quantity required per acre. 



FINE GRASS AND CLOVER SEEDS FOR IMPROVING 

 OLD PASTURES (Sutton's Renovating Mixture). Quantity 

 required per acre, 8 lbs. to 12 lbs. price 9d. per lb. 



N.B. It will be seen above that we have greatly re- 

 duced the prices of our Grass Seeds this season, especially 



A m^ C tell us that 2 or 3 lbs- of it per acre are a great improve- j the fine Lawn Seeds and (t Sutton's Renovating Mixture" 



*rJ* Kalian Rye-grass. Perhaps some one will say whether 

 *? 2L/..1 r* a suitable addition to mixtures for permanent

I2H.1US Keafixg Machine: An Australian knows of a 

 A 22toe in use at Adelaide for reaping Wheat, called there 

 KlteY's machine. He wants to know where in England it can 

 Shad with some idea of probable price. It may be as well to 

 t that this machine, as described, not only gathers but 

 Settles the Wheat at the same time. As the machine (pro- 

 Sli by six oxen), proceeds, the stalks of com enter a large 

 ^ b when the ears only are immediately beaten off by a 



-folvin" cylinder-sloped apparatus. Tbey then undergo a 

 rtrtplete'threshing, and the whole is thrown back into a box, 

 SriSch is emptied t»f its contents at every round made of the 

 Ld. Anv information relative to this subject will have our 

 Spies. It is thought that Mr. Ridley is at present in London. 

 If this should meet his eye, perhaps he will be good enough to 

 ammunicate with us. 



InggiRn Cows: Clericus. We "will try to obtain me name of 

 some dealer In Ayrshire cows ; but we imagine your plan 



must be to advertise. 



lug*: Kent says :— " Do, pray, get somebody to tell me what 

 ihouM be expected of a sow, I mean at what period after her 

 -frying she may return to icash alone, and if at all ?— the wash 

 SJ5 a house where the inmates are six and the sow single? 

 Wfcit amount of meal, again, the sow with a far row, say of 10, 

 should consume per week, till the little ones are weaned, and 

 vbtt should be their consumption thereafter? And pray, 

 trtin, the best mode of managing the little ones, with regard 

 to time of keeping them, and so forth, with some possible profit ? 

 . ,mi would indeed be doing us u little gentlemen " an incon- 

 ceivable benefit in telling us something practically on this 

 head. We get, in nine cases out of ten, a bad sort of her- 

 mtphrodite — amphibious half-gardener half-cow man sort of 

 fellow-who knows nothing, and, finding we know less, does 

 qi to a great extent. J H. [Try Richardson's "Rural Hand- 

 book "on the Pig, price Is.] 



DaiASM of Cattle, &c. : W W. " The Ox," by the Society for 



the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, is still a very good book. 



We would grow Rye-grass on a stiff soil. " W WT asks for a 

 receipt to pickle bacon as in Norfolk. 



Fowleb's Steam Draining Plough: Mr Scott informs us that 

 this implement, much improved, is now at work daily on the 

 farm of Mr. Grant, Wormleybury, near Broxbourne, Essex, 

 tod that gentlemen interested in drainage are invited to 

 inspect its operation. There are now 13 horse ploughs and 

 three steam ones at work in different parts of the country, and 

 opt ards of 10,000 acres have been drained by them. 



Hereford Stock : H Allington. We do not know of any dealer 

 to whom to direct you, nor are we personally acquainted with 

 any breeder of Hereford stock to whom we could introduce you : 

 *e imagine your best plan is to go to one of the Hereford fairs, 

 and you will easily learn to whom you had best apply for a 

 fresh bull as a cross for your cows. 



'Uuair Uye-grass: Anon. It will not do to sow it now among 

 thin Wheat. The Wheat would be utterly choked long before 

 it came to ear. We did that once and that was an experience. 

 If you sow among Wheat at all sow it early in May as the 

 last tune you dare go among this crop with the hoe and hoe it 

 jn. It is quite possible that your half germinated seed may 

 bare been killed; if so, just go over the ground with the tine 

 a*d narrow again, and follow it up with the brush harrow, and 

 that will ensure a crop. There will be a full account of the 

 «ropgiren next week.

 yon will obtain instructions for making "all mineral manures.' 1

MESSRS. E. G. HENDERSON and SON, of the 

 Wellington Nursery f St. John's "Wood, London, will com- 

 mence sending out April 30, 1855, the following new Seedling 

 FUCHSIAS, raised by Messrs. Story and Banks. 



Queen Victoria (Story's), scarlet, with white corolla. 105. Gd. 



Prince Albert (Banks's), fine violet corolla. 10s. 6d. 



Perrugino(Story'8), fine striped corolla.* 10s. 6d. 



Empress Eugenie (Story' s ) f rosy crimson, white corolla. 10s. 6d. 



Ran nnc ulseflora (Story's), fine double white corolla. 21s. 



Lady of the Lake (Story's), blush, white corolla. 10s. 6d. 



Water Nymph (Story's), globe-flowered, fine white corolla. 

 10s. Gd. 



Raffaelle (Story's), beautiful variegated corolla. 10s. Gd. 



Mrs. Story (Story's), fine white corolla. (In accordance with 

 Mr. Story's wish, this was named after Mrs. Story, as it was in 

 his opinion the finest.) 10s. Gd. 



Or if the set of Nine are taken, the price 4J. 4*., including 

 SNOWDROP (Story's). This was received from Mr. Story as 

 possessing a double white corolla, and described by himself and 

 others who saw it in flower as a very beautiful variety. It was 

 the first double white raised by him; but the plant did not 

 flower in the Wellington Nursery after it was received by Messrs. 

 Henderson; and through three stout branches having been 

 broken off it it did not quite correspond with the description 

 given by Mr. Story and others a few months after to Mr. A. 

 Henderson when at Newton making inquiries respecting the 

 Plants. Consequently no charge will be made for it, but one will 

 be presented with every set ordered. 



FUCHSIA, BANKS'lTpAVOURITE (BANKS), considered 

 the finest of the blue violet corollas. 10s. Gd. 



For further particulars see page 62 of the Gardeners 1 Chronicle 

 for Jan. 27 ; or a list will be sent post free on application. 



Messrs. K. G. HENDERSON~&~SON having purchased of 

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

 for ONE HUNDRED GUINEAS, all Seedling Fuchsias with 

 white Corollas, which new feature in this tribe he succeeded 

 in introducing, and in consequence of an advertisement which 

 appeared in the Gardeners' Chronicle some [ew weeks back from 

 Messrs. Lucombe, Pince, & Co., of Exeter, offering two new 

 Fuchsias similar in character to those purchased of the late Mr. 

 Story, and after a written communication with that gentleman 

 it was thought necessary for one of the firm to make further in^- 

 quiries about them, and in consequence Mr. Andrew Henderson 

 went to Exeter and Newton, where he was informed by a jobbing 

 gardener at Newton that he had received Seven Pounds for 

 them after (as the said jobbing gardener stated) he had, been 

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

 name or address he did not know. 



Messrs. E. G. H. & Son give the above explanation in conse- 

 quence of a great number of their customers throughout the autumn 

 having ordered plants of them at higher prices than are above 

 quoted. This reduction is made in consequence of information 

 which they have received that leaves no doubt on their minds but 

 that those to be sent out by Messrs. Lucombe, Pince, & Co. are 

 similar in character to the above. 



Messrs. E. G. HENDERSON & SON, of the Wellington Road 

 Nursery, St. John's Wood, London, beg to inform their patrons 

 and the public that their New Catalogue of Seeds for 1855 is now 

 ready, with full descriptions arid other information, and will be 

 forwarded post free on application. 



E. G. HENDERSON & SON take this opportunity of stating 

 that none but the most popular and improved kinds of Vegetable 

 Seeds appear in their list, and among the Flower Seeds only 

 those whose beauty and merit are univerally acknowledged, 

 together with a carefully selected stock of the principal new 

 varieties. They would call particular attention to the following 

 new and choice seeds, which they can confidently recommend :

r r<HOSE who would enjoy their Gardens during the 



1 winter months should construct their walks of PORTLAND 

 CEMENT CONCRETE, which are formed thus:— Screen the 

 travel of which the path is at present made from the loam which 

 is mixed with it .and to every part of clean gravel addoneof sharp 

 river sand. To five parts of such equal mixture add one of Port- 

 land Cement, and incorporate the whole well in the dry state before 

 applying the water. It may then be laid on 2 inches thick- Any 

 labourer can mix and spread it. No tool is required beyond the 



pade, and i» 48 hours it becomes as hard as a rock- Vegetation 

 cannot grow through or upon it, and it resists the action of the 

 severest frost. It is necessary, as water does not soak through it, 

 to give a fall from the middle of the path towards the sides.
