JOHN WESTWOOD will be prepared on and after 

 the 10th of October next to send out good well-rooted plants 

 of the following novelties, at the very low prices under- 

 named, viz. — 



VERBENA "MRS. HALFORD."— The finest white yet 

 raised; no other will be grown wherever it is introduced. Having 

 had plants in his possession before any other florist, J. W. has 

 now on hand many thousands, and is therefore enabled to offer 

 them at 9s. per dozen, or 31. per 100. 



PETUNIA "MARQUISE DE LA FERTE."— A decided 

 improvement on Shrubland Rose, and must entirely supersede it. 

 The highest praise has been awarded this flower in the Gar- 

 deners' Chronicle, "The Cottage Gardener," and by all who have 

 seen it. 85. per dozen, or 21. 15s. per 100. 



All the White Corolla'd and other FUCHSIAS of 1855, let 

 out by Cbauviere, Epps, Henderson & Co. f Lucombe & Co., and 

 Smith, at 10*. per dozen. 



The last new VERBENAS sent out by Chauviere, Smith, 

 Turner, <&c, many of which (especially those raised in France) 

 are superior to the older varieties. 8s. per doz., or 21. 15s. per 100. 



Seedling Herbaceous CALCEOLARIAS from plants of first- 

 rate quality (superior to any exhibited during the past season), 

 carefully impregnated by the Rev. E. Trimmer, who has hitherto 

 been remarkably successful with this flower. Best selection, 

 8s. per dozen, or 21. 15s. per 100 ; 2d selection, 5s. per dozen, or 

 1L 15s. per 100. 



Seedling CINERARIAS from all the best named varieties, 



4s. per dozen, or 11. 10s. per 100. 



Fimbriated PRIMULA SINENSIS, raised from plants inferior 

 to none in the trade, of last year. 5s. per doz., or 11. 15s. per 100. 



J. W. has also for immediate sale Vines from Eyes of the best 

 and leading sorts, at 24s. per dozen. And the true old Crimson 

 Clove, at 5s. per dozen, or 11. 18s. per 100. 



The carriage will be paid to London; and where an order 

 exceeds 21. additional plants will be given in, and the hamper 

 and package not charged for.
