Ample description of this noble tree having appeared 

 in former advertisements or circulars, it is only necessary now to 

 say that it is a Coniferous Tree, of immense dimensions and 

 great beauty. It having withstood the severity of the past 

 winter, without injury, both at Chelsea, Exeter, and van- * 

 other localities, there can be no doubt of its be>ing a perfectly 

 hardy tree, thus rendering it the most remarkable of recent 

 introductions.

Perpetual Rose imp- r Napoleon 

 will not be sent out before June; 1 \ that time I shall hav 

 proved it. If i «t more than mi-< uble, I much quotum if it i 

 worth 7a. 6^. I, however, received a very bfgh character of it. 

 which induces me to offer it to the public, but nut to let U mi 

 before j worth. 



C&rrlAge paid to any F tion on the liter* Count* Railway. 



St. John's Street Nursery, Cdchestcr. 



We are authorised to state that Mr. Cole, in 

 charge of the Biitish section of the Pans Universal 

 Exhibition, ba« prepared cards to admit the corre- 

 spondents of the Gardeners" Chronicle to the open- 

 ing on the 1st May, and that these cards will be 

 readv for delivers on Monoav, the 30th April, <it 

 the English U ffic^. No. 14, Rue da C irque, Paris. 



Some inquiries addrtssed to us 1 y a correspondent 

 upon the subject of Gardin "Walls lead us tf 

 believe that many besides himself will be glad to 

 have some piactical mfoiination concerning theto, 



which, if not novel, may Le i el ted upon as beiug 



sound. 



Various heights huve been proposed as the best 

 for garden walls. Some have suggested that they 

 should be as Iowa B feet above the surface of the 

 ground ; oih s that they ould be as high as 1C or 

 even 18 feet. For general purposes, however, 

 12 feet may be considered a good height ; it cor- 



sponds wi:h that of the fiuit walls in the Royal 

 Wardens at Frogmore, and with most of those devoted 

 fruit trees in the garden of the Horticultural 



to 



Jociety. S me are of opinion, h»Avever, that a 



height cf 10 feet is sufficient, and for the following 

 reasons, viz., that a wall of tl it height can be sooner 

 covered by uees than one can possibly be that is as 



high, or nigh r, than is above recommended; that
