WATERER'8 AMERICAN PLANTS A new 

 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE is now published of the 

 celebrated Collection of hardy Scarlet and other Rhododendrons, 

 as exhibited hy Jonx Waterer at the Royal Botanic Gardens, 

 Regent's Park : it will be found to contain a few practical obser- 

 vations on their successful management, and will be forwarded 

 on application by enclosing two amps for postage. Apart from 

 its enumeration of the most popular American Plants in cultiva- 

 tion, a List of choice Coni ferae will be seen, embracing the latest 

 importations of this fine and hardy tribe of Plants. 



J. W. has now the pleasure to offer in large quantities, and of 

 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; Pinus Douglasi, Cembra, excelsa, Lam- 

 bertiana, Insignia, Jefferyana, Beardslevi, tuberculata, &c;

 Cupressus, Junip* raft, Taxus, Thuja, &c. 



KF~ 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.

v_> PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other 

 Governments, the Hon. East India Company, the principal Dock 

 Companies, most public bodies, and by the nobility, gentry, and 

 clergy, for out-door work at their country seats. The Anti- 

 Corrosion is particularly recommended as the most durable out- 

 door Paint ever invented, for the preservation of every description 

 of Iron, Wood, Stone, Brick, Compo, Cement, &c, work, as has 

 been proved by the practical test of upwards of 60 years, and by 

 the numerous (between 500 and 600) testimonials in its favour, 

 and which, from the rank and station in society of those who have 

 given them, have never yet been equalled by anything of the 

 kind hitherto brought before the public notice. 



Lists of colours, prices, together with a copy of the testimonials, 

 will be sent on application to Walter Carson & Son, 9, Great 

 Winchester Street, Old Broad Street, Royal Exchange, London. 

 No Agents. All orders are particularly requested to be sent direct.

FORKS AND 



HOTHOUSE BUILDERS. 



HTHE NOBILITY and GENTRYabout to erect Hor- 

 ticultural Buildings, or fix Hot-water Apparatus, will find 



at our Horticultural Establish- 

 ment and Hothouse Works, 

 King's Road, Chelsea, an exten- 

 sive variety of Hothouses, Green- 

 houses, Conservatories, Pits, &c, 

 erected, and in full operation, 

 combining all modern improve- 

 ments, so that a lady or gentleman can select the description of 

 House best adapted for every required purpose. 

 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 



worthy of attention. 

 Many of the Houses and Pits are of wide and lofty dimensions, 

 and together equal in length 1000 feet. They are all effectually 

 heated by one boiler, which, during the severe winter months 



does not cost in labour and fuel 

 more than 3s. Sd. per day, and 

 the apparatus is so arranged 

 that each House or Pit may be 

 heated separately and to the 

 required temperature. The 

 splendid collections of Stove 

 and Greenhouse Plants are also in the highest state of cultiva- 

 tion, and for sale at very low prices. Also a fine collection of 

 strong Grape Vines in pots, from eyes, all the best sorts. 



Plans, Models, and Estimates of Horticultural Buildings; also 

 Catalogues of Plants, Vines, Seeds. &c, forwarded on application 

 to John Weeks & Co.. King's Road, Chelsea, London.

 The accompanying

 extensive nursery estab-

 one boiler., measuring 

 only 5 ft by 3 ft. 6 in. 

 The Houses heated con-

 many of them are of

 sions, in length IUI'0 ft. 

 and exposing to the at- 

 mosphere upwards ot 

 16000 superficial feet 

 of glass. During the late
