JOHN WATERER begs to announce that he is now 

 prepared to execute orders for his two New Hardy Hybrid 

 Rhododendrons, in good established plants, at 42s. each. 



Rhododendron JOHN WATERER, colour glowing carmine, 

 large truss, fine foliage, and a most abundant bloomer, in 

 perfection about the 15th June. 



Ditto, MRS. JOHN WATERER, a bright rosy crimson, fine 

 conical truss, a very free blooming kind, in flower about 

 15th of June. 



To the admirers of this justly noble class of Plants, John 

 Wateree has the pleasure ot recommending the above as being 

 the greatest acquisitions yet offered. They combine in a marked 

 degree the necessary requisites for really first-rate hardy crimson 

 varieties, viz., imposing colours, ahundant bloomers, extreme 

 hardiness, and flower at a time when they are not liable to be 

 injured by spring frosts. 



The American Nursery, Bagshot, Surrey, Sept. 29. 



THE IMPROVED BROWICK RED AND OTHER 



SEED WHEAT. 



TUILLIAM BARNES, in returning thanks to his 



* * customers for SEED CORN, begs to offer this season the 

 following sorts, which have been procured from the finest and best 

 varieties, regardless of expense in the purchase and cost in the 

 cultivation— viz., Improved Browick Red, Spalding's Red, Old 

 Red or Lammas Wheat, White Chaff Red, and Bristol mixed 

 with White, all of which he will warrant true and clean. 



Mr. B. can recommend the Improved Browick Red with much 

 confidence as being one of the greatest acquisitions in Red 

 Wheat, for light or black land, yet offered to the farmer. In this 

 locality (Deeping Fen) it was less injured by frosts and mildew 

 than other Reds, and was pronounced by all who inspected it 

 whilst standing over several acres to be unrivalled by any in the 

 district. — For further particulars, address William Barnes, the 

 Elms F arm, near Spalding, Lincolnshire.

"Gynerium Argenteum." 



T UCOMBE, PINCE, and Co. having now for sale 



-*-* the finest stock of flowering plants in this country of the 

 above, are enabled to offer their well established plants to bloom 

 this autumn at the following prices : — 



Fine specimens with two flower stems 



Ditto with one ditto ... 



Smaller plants to bloom next year ... 



L., P., & Co. have also healthy seedlings at 305. per dozen, 

 which will be ready in October, which, however, they deem it 

 right to say will most probably not bloom for two years. To such 

 parties as wish at once to see the plant in its beauty, L., P., & Co. 

 would strongly recommend the larger sizes, as they are much 

 better and cheaper. 



., F ^ w Plants are more ornamental than this Gigantic Grass, 

 the leaves (which are more than 7 feet in length, curving grace- 

 fully outwards) grow in large tussocks, thereby producing a very 

 une effect, and from the midst of these numerous flower stems 

 arise to the height of from 6 to 8 feet, surmounted by elegant 

 panicles of inflorescence nearly 3 feet long, resembling beautiful 

 waving plumes of silvery feathers. It is perfectly hardy, and is 

 also easy of cultivation. A grand specimen of this noble plant 

 ls now in the Exeter Nursery, pushing up nearly twenty large 

 ower stems and numerous small ones, and will continue to be an 

 ooject of great attraction for a considerable time.

PLAN 



8. d. 



to offer the following 



T S:— 



St. Jamfs's Park is to be destroyed; if we are 

 to believe some of our contemporaries who are in 

 distress at the dearth of good subjects of complaint. 

 Those beautiful grounds are to be desecrated, the 

 rights of the people are to be violated, and the 

 poor are to be ousted from their verdant patrimony, 

 and deprived of their holiday recreation, in order 

 to gratify the bad taste, or to satisfy the greediness 

 of some of the hangers-on about public offices. 

 This would be indeed a grievance if it were true : 

 and an unlimited amount of popular capital might, 

 we have no doubt, be raised upon the strength of it. 



But is it true ? Does all the clamour about 

 desecration, and violated rights, and official wrong- 

 headedness or something worse, stand upon any 

 sort of foundation ? Certainly not ; that we under- 

 take to affirm of our own knowledge. 



It seems that the Home Secretary is of opinion 

 that it would be a great public convenience if a way 

 for carriages and foot passengers could be carried in 

 a direct line from St James's Street to West- 

 minster, so as to escape the long circuit by White- 

 hall on the one hand, and by Pimlico on the 

 other, and to relieve the crowded thoroughfares of 

 some portion of their excessive traffic. Can we 

 doubt that this would be an immense public con- 

 venience ? if any one does, we beg he will find his 

 way from Bond Street to the Houses of Parliament, 

 and then compare the distance as the streets now 

 run with what it would be if the proposed way 



were made. 



But no such way can be made without crossing 

 St. James's Park and the beautiful piece of water 

 there. And herein lies the offence. To cut St. 

 James's Park in two by a dirty road, and thus to 

 reduce one beautiful garden to a couple of un- 

 connected ugly spaces ; to throw a hideous bridge 

 across the only ornamental piece of water in our 

 metropolitan parks ; to show such a total disregard 

 ? of public convenience ; and to rob the lower classes 

 of such an enormous piece of ground as the road 

 Also strong plants of the following chrysanthemums, would occupy is a design of unparalleled official 



which are the best of last year:— Annie Henderson, Arigenia, j n x- Such vvp hplipvp iq thp o^pntial nart

We have, however, wholly failed to discover the 

 inconveniences which are painted of such portentous 

 dimensions. We are unable to understand why, in
