by the frequent frosty nights: this and the extreme 



leareity of keep for cattle, which causes the Grass lands to be 

 ortntocked, is a sufficient reason for the want of luxuriance in 

 ocr p* res. The very cold weather, so unfavourable to vege- 

 tation/ proved, however, in other respects a boon to the agricui- 

 tarot, as it enabled him to get in all his spring corn in good 



me as well as in good order, generally speaking. The Mangold 

 crop was also finished sowing before the rain set in, so we may 

 this season expect the young plants to come up well and regular. 

 In speaking of the general appearance of the crops we may state 

 that the Wheat crop has suffered much in many places from the 

 severe weather, and particularly in exposed land looks thin. 

 Barley and Oats came up well, but were checked by the cold 

 winds: they have, however, improved much by the late rains, 

 and only now require a little warm weather. In farming opera- 

 tions the preptrat ion of land for Turnips is now the main feature, 

 and progresses satisfactorily. The scarcity of keep for cattle is 

 much felt in this part of the country, and has been the cause of 

 the enormous prices given for Grass land this season. Much 

 «rn has also been consumed by cattle since the roots were 

 finished. Our orchards now begin to present a gay appearance, 

 and. from the blossom on the trees lead one to hope favourably of 

 the crop. Prices of agricultural produce keep well up. and may 

 he quoted as follows:— Beef, 60s. to 63*. per cwt. : sheep in their

 Barley, Ms. per qr. ; Oats, 28s. per qr. ; yolk wool, 8£d. per lb. 



Wsstib Ro~. May 15.— A colder or more backward season

John Warner & Sons having been practical Horticulturists 

 for many years, know exactly the requirements of both Amateurs 

 and Gardeners. A gardener with a properly constructed pump 

 will get through as much work in five minutes as he could with 

 any Syringe in a quarter of an hour, and with half the labour to 

 himself. Syringes are economical for small houses. 



No establishment offers such a variety of effective machines for 

 hydraulic purposes, whether to supply Gardens, Hothouses.

 quisite connected with the conveyance and distribution of liquids.

«J • SYRINGE— Small size, for Amateur use, 21s. each 

 Large size, for Gardeners' use, 25s. each. 



Extra for Telescope Tube as shown in engraving for watering 

 plants on stands at a height of 8 feet, so that any quantity of 

 water can be deposited in the pot without wetting the leaves, 10>. 

 By a simple arrangement this Syringe is rendered more 

 effective than any portable Conservatory or Garden Pump ever 

 offered to the public. It is equally adapted for Garden or 

 Conservatory use, and is capable of discharging twice as much 

 water in a 'given time as any other Syringe now in use. The 

 arrangement consists in attaching a small flexible suction tube 

 to the barrel of the Syringe, through which it is filled with water 

 at every discharge of the previous contents. By this means the 

 Syringe is always charged, and the poll-up stroke of the piston* 

 rendered perfectly easy, it having, indeed, no work to do, the 

 barrel being previously full of water. Being thus made self- 

 supplying, a great saving of labour is effected ; and the necessity 

 of stooping to fill the syringe at every discharge being done- 

 a* with, the direction of the water can be maintained for any 

 length of time. It is perfectly cleanly in its action, as it is not 

 possible for any water to get on the outside of the barrel, which 

 s a well-known inconvenience attendant on the use of every 

 other Syringe. Its construction is perfectly simple, and cannot get 

 at of order: the ground in ball valves and fittings used for filling 

 11 other patent Syringes being entirely superseded. To be had 

 of any respectable Ironmonger or Seedsman in town or country.
