RHODODENDRONS. 



TOHN WATERER begs to announce that be 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 & most abundant bloomer, in 



perfection about the loth June. 

 Ditto, MRS. JOHN WATKKER, 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 

 "Watkrer has the pleasure of recommending the above as bein^ 

 the greatest acquisitions yet offered. They combine in a marked 

 degree the necessary requisites for really first-rate hardy crimson 

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

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

 injured by spring frosts. 



The American Nursery, Bagshot, Surrey, Oct. 13. 



WATEREK'S AMERICAN PLANTS A new 

 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE is now published of the

 vations on their successful management, and will be forwarded

 all heights, the following selection of CONIFERS, with the 

 remark that they are all now growing in the open ground, are 

 bushy and handsome as can be desired, and have been trans- 

 planted each succeeding spring, whereby no risk can be encoun- 

 tered in their removal from the nursery : — Araucaria imbricata, 

 Cryptomeria japonica; P in us Douglas L Cembra, excelsa, Lam- 

 bertiana, Insignia, Jefferyana, Beard sleyi, tuberculata, &c;

 Cupressus, Juniperus, Taxns, Thuja, &c. 



I_F" The attention of gentlemen, public companies, and others 

 engaged in planting, is especially directed to the foregoing; 

 indeed, all intending planters would be well repaid by a visit to 

 inspect our stock, as much may be seen which of necessity 

 cannot be given within the limits of an advertisement.

MYATT'S BRITISH QUEEN.— In reply to several corre- 

 spondents, and in confirmation of the private answers I gave last 

 summer, I beg leave to state that the only Strawberry bearing the 

 name of "British Queen" is Myatt's, and when Mr Beach, in 

 his advertisement says "bis true British Queen," he is obviously 

 in error, and arrogates to himself the credit due to my late 

 father, Mr. Joseph Myatt. who was the originator of the variety 

 in questi on. — W. Mya tt, Manor Fa rm, Pep t fo rd. — Oct. 13.

NEW GERANIUMS AND NEW FANCY DITTO. 



See C anium Catalogue just published. 

 Royal Nursery, Slough. 



The outcry against bridging over the water in 

 St. James's Park has died away. Jacob Omnium no 

 longer swaggers in the Times; and Sir John 

 Shelley's Westminster constituents, having dis- 

 covered that the proposed roadway will be useful to 

 everybody and an injury to no one, have wisely 

 abandoned their opposition to the measure. They 

 seem indeed to have suddenly remembered that 

 the proposal is after all not so much to form a 

 new way to Westminster as to restore an old one, 

 the closing of which, ugly as it was, some two-and- 

 thirty years ago, was one of the most distasteful and 

 despotic acts of the Government of King George the 

 Fourth. Nevertheless, it seems desirable to revert 

 once more to the subject, for the purpose of explain- 

 ing more fully than has hitherto been done, what 

 Sir Benjamin Hall's plan really is. 



The proposed road is for foot passengers and 

 carriages only, not for heavy traffic. It passes out 

 of the west end of Pall Mall into the Park, nearly 

 opposite St. James's Street, and terminates at the 

 B toad way in Westminster, crossing the park and 

 water upon arches, in the manner represented in 

 the accompanying sketch. In order to bring it 

 from Pall Mall the ugly German Chapel next Marl- 

 borough House is to be removed, which will also 

 enable Stable Yard to be enlarged, and will give 

 more room for carriages attending levees and 

 drawing-rooms. 



passes into Queen Square through an old house or 

 two and finally reaches the space in front of the 

 Abbey, joining Victoria Street. 



Stich is the line of communication which has been 

 so much objected to in a few quarters. It is, we 

 think, impossible to devise one of more importance 

 to the west end of London and to the inhabitants of 

 Westminster, who, if they understand their own 

 interests, will be its most strenuous advocates. It 

 is true that it does nothing for Belgravia; but we 

 entertain no doubt that if the inhabitants of that 

 great quarter can persuade Lord Fitz-Haroinge to 

 surrender the lease of his house by Spring Gardens, 

 the present Government would be prepared to lend 





for carriages attending 



At the Westminster end the road
