FARM SEEDS. 



WDRUMMOND axd SONS have implicit con- 

 • fide nee in recommending the following Seeds:— 



PERENNIAL RYE-GRASS, from the most select growths, and 

 perfectly clean. 



ITALIAN RYE-GRASS, direct from Lombardy, and through 

 the same gentleman in that country who has for several years 

 been employed by us in collecting those fine parcels which 

 have hitherto given so much satisfaction to our customers. 



GRASSES FOR PERMANENT PASTURE.*- Having been 

 among the first to recomme?id the use of the Natural Grasses 

 in the formation of Permanent Pasture, the tubject has occupu 

 a large share of our attention. We have carefuV.y noted the species 

 composing the best Natural Pastures, and the results of combina- 

 tions in culture under varied circumstances of soil and si ition; 

 and, as the result of our observations, as well at from t?ie great 

 satisfaction our selections have given, ice feel warranted in ream 

 mending, in addition to the Grasses usually sown, a variety of such 

 species as are known, not only to y 1 the greatest hulk of herbage, 

 but the largest amount of milking and feeding properties, varying 

 those species, and the proportions of each, according to the nature 

 of the land to be laid down. From the increased demand, we are 

 enabled to charge a lower price than formerly. An excellent 

 assortment, and allowing a liberal supply of Seeds, may be had 

 at from 245. to 26s. per statute acre. 



TURNIP, in all the leading varieties, saved by ourselves from 

 full-formed Bulbs. 



VETCHES (or TARES), large broad-leaved, a very superior sort. 



Priced Lists of the above, with every other description of Farm 

 Seeds, may be had post free on application. 



Free Delivery— All Parcels of Seeds above 21. value (with 

 the exception of Grain and Vetches), delivered free in London, 

 Liverpool, Hull, Newcastle, Belfast, Londonderry, Aberdeen, 

 Inverness, and to all the Stations along the Lines of the Cale- 

 donian and North British Railway*, &c.

PRIZE MANGOLD WURZEL, SWEDE TURNIPS, ETC. 



1 AMES GROVE, Great Baddow, Essex, who obtained 



«' Prizes at the Chelmsford and Agricultural Show for 



nine years in succession, begs to state that his Seeds are grow 

 from Selected Roots, not Plants. lie begs to call attention to 

 the following opinions of the press: — 



"The roots shown by Mr. James Grove stand unrivalled ."— 

 Smithfield Club Show, 1848.— Mark Lane Express. 



41 The roots shown by Mr. Jamts Grove were pronounced by 

 many practical judges to be the most perfect specimens they had 

 ever seen."— Smithfield Club Show, 1849.— BelVs Wte'.ly Mes- 

 senger. 



" The Mangold Wurzel and Swedes exhibited by Mr. J. Gfove 



drew forth the warm encomiums of all who saw them. Mr Grove 



has devoted a great deal of time to the cultivation of Mangold 



Wurzel, and judging from the specimens at this show, his efforts 



have been eminently successful."— Smithfield Club Show, 1851.— 

 Ibid. 



Similar remarks were made in the Agricultural Journals on 

 the roots exhibited by Mr. Grove in 1S52, 1853. and 1854.
