 The HOT- WATER APPARATUS, which passes through all 



the Houses and Pits 

 affording both top 

 and bottom heat, is 

 in constant opera- 

 tion and particularly 



Many of the Houses and Pits are of wide a^ffylmen^on"' 



heated by *»* boiler, which, during the severe winter months 



does not cost in labour and fuel 

 more than 3s. 8d. per day, and 

 the apparatus is so arranged 

 that each House or Pit may be 

 heated separately and to the 

 required temperature. The 

 j ,-« ,_ ™ splendid collections of Stove

■ tienltural Builders and Hot Water Apparatus Manufacturers. 

 At our two Establishments horticultural science is fully carried 



out in all its branches. 

 The accompanying 

 sketch represents our 

 Improved Boiler. These 

 Boilers are very power- 

 ful, dnrable, and econo- 

 mical. The whole of our 

 extensive nursery estab- 

 lishment is heated by 

 one boikr, measuring 

 only 5 ft by 3 ft. 6 in. 

 The Houses heated con- 

 sist of forcing-houses of 

 various descriptions, 

 many of them are or 

 wide and lofty dimen- 

 sions, in length 1000 ft., 

 and exposing to the at- 

 mosphere upwards of 

 16,000 superficial feet 

 of glass. During the late 

 severe winter it only 

 cost us 3*. per day for 

 fuel, and we had more 

 than a sufficient com- 

 mand of heat. Any

 carry the keen edge of a razor without requiring to be sharpened 

 so frequently as is usually necessary to obtain that sharp edge 

 so requisite for the comfort and use of the practical gardener. Tta 

 blades are also warranted to wear through to the back. They 

 are used by all the eminent gardeners in England, Ireland, and 

 Scotland, and can be purchased of any nurseryman or seedsman

PORTABLE STEAM THRESHING MACHINES. 



-I- —The time run by the four highest Portable Steam Engina 

 at the Carlisle Meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society in July 

 last, with 14 lbs. of coal to the horse power, was:— 



Tuxford & Sons 3 hours and 47 minutes. 



Clayton & Co 3 do. 27 do. 



Barratt & Co 3 do. 10 do. 



Hornsby & Son's ... 2 do. 54 do. 



the North Lincolnshire Society's meeting at Boston, in 

 August last, Tuxford's and Hornsby's Engines again came into 

 competition, when Hornsby's was again left a long way behind. 

 with 14 lbs. of very inferior coal ; the time run was :— 



Tuxford & Sons 3 hours and 3 minutes. 



Hornsby & Son's 2 do. 43 do. 



And had the testing apparatus which was supplied to. the society 

 from Grantham not indicated the steam pressure falsely by 

 several pounds on the inch, the difference would have shown 

 fully twice as much to the advantage of Tuxford & Sons' 

 Engine. 



At the recent trials of Threshing Machines at the Paris Uni- 

 versal Exhibition, M. Tresca, the Government Engineer, em- 

 ployed as the motive power one of Tuxford's Portable Machinal 

 which had been purchased by the French Government, 



The Combined Threshing, Shaking, and Dressing Machiss 

 of Tuxford & Sons, was u highly commended" this year by the 

 Royal Society at Carlisle : the Bath and West of England Society
