 pints, 3s.; prepaid either by postage stamps or otherwise. A* 

 the stock is verv limited early application to Mr. Clark would 

 be advisable. W. N. begs to assert that the above Pea far sur- 

 passes in all gooH qualitiesjjyery other in cultivation. 



ERNARD SAUNDKRS, Nurseryman and Florist* 



Cesarean Nurseries, Jersey, respectfully informs Amateurs 

 and Florists that he has a good Stock of Ytllow and Whita- 

 gronnd PICOTEES to offer t'n- sale this season, at 2s. 6d. per 

 pair, orders f -r which will be thankfully received and promptly 

 executed. Also a small quantity of well ripene I S ed of the 

 PHOKMIUM TEN AX or NEW ZEALAND FLAX, at 2s. 6d. 

 per packet of 60 Seeds. 



ALUSTRADING FOR GARDEN TERRACES, 



executed in Austin's Artificial Stone, by J. Seeley (late 

 Austin and Seeley), Nos. 1 to 4, Kepp^l Row, New Road. 



This work is of the same constitution as Portland Stone, and 

 after a winter's exposure is hardly distinguishable from that 

 mat erial : it has been fXtensivelv u*ed in Scotland for 20 vears. 



MAPPIN'S PRUNING KNIVES IN E.VERY VARIETY, 



Warranted Good by the Makers. 



WATERER and GODFREY respectfully invite the 

 attention of parties engaged in Planting to their fine 



Stock of the following HARDY ORNAMENTAL TREES,&c. 



Araucaria imbricata, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 feet high, in quantities, 

 ail stocky well grown plants; the larger sizes especially it 

 would be difficult to match. 



Cedms Deodara, 14,2,3,4, and 5 feet, by the thousaud; do. a 

 fine lot of larger, 6, 7, and 8 feet ; do. some magnificent Trees, 

 10 to 15 feet. These are all in a famous condition for Trans- 

 planting, having been annually removed. 



Cedars of T^banon, 3, 4, 5, and 6 feet; do. a few splendid Trees, 



10 and 12 feet. 



Cedars Rio Virginian, 5 to 8 feet. 



Cedai varingated white, 2, 3, and 4 feet, one of the handsomest 

 variegated plants we know. We had a large stock. It is ex- 

 tensively planted at Elvaston Castle. 



Cryptom< a japonica, fine plants, 4 to 7 feet. 



Cupressus macrocarpa or Lambertiana, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 feet. 

 Nothing can be handsomer than some of the specimens of this 



fine hardy plant. 

 Juniper, Chinese, 2, 3, 4, and 5 feet; a fine lot of large plants, 



6 to 8 feet. 

 Do. Irish, upright, 3, 4, 5, and 6 feet; do. larger, up to 8 and 10 



feet. Our srock of the wo last mentioned Junipers we believe 



to be quite unequalled, the Irish especially; the larger sizes 



are under perfect columns. 

 Do. recurva, 3, 4, 5, up to 8 feet. 

 Do. hispanica or thurifera, 2, 3, and 4 feet. 

 Abie* Douglnsi, 2, 3, and 4 feet. A fine lot of large and very 



handsome plants, 7, 8, 10, and 12 feet. 

 Picea nobilis, several hundreds of nice plants, 1J, to 2 feet, well 



grown, and with good lead. None are grafted. A few taller 



specimens up to 6 feet. 

 Do. Nordmanniana, a large quantity of remarkably handsome 



plants, 1$, 2. 3, and 4 feet. Nothing can exceed the vigour of 



these plants, and all from seed. 

 Do.Pinsapo, magnificent plants, 4 to 7 feet high, in perfect health. 

 Pinus in.signis, 1£ to 3 feet; a few good specimens up to 7 feet. 



„ Lambertiana, from seed, 4, 5, and 6 feet. 



„ Cembra, 3, 4, 5, up to 10 feet. 



„ Montezuma?, fine plants, 4 and 5 feet. 



„ macrocarpa, 2 and 3 feet, from seed. 

 Weeping Larch, clean, stems good, heads 7 feet high. 



The foil. .wing 10 varieties form a very singular t'roup. They 

 are of dwarf habits; the well known Abies Clanbraziliana may 

 be taken as the type of the whole. We believe our collection to 

 be quite unique, and, we may add, most interesting. 



Pinus strohus pumila (the dwarf Weymouth). 



„ sjlvestris pumila (the dwarf Scotch). 

 Abies Clanbraziliana Abies pumila 1 All dwarf varieties 

 compacta „ diffusa U of the 



„ pygmaea „ Gregori J Spruce Fir. 



Picea pectinnta pygmsea (the dwarf Silver Fir),Hudsoni. 

 Yew, common English, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 feet, in large quantities. 

 Do. upright, Irish, 4, 5, 6, and 7 feet; some splendid plants, 



8 to 12 feet. 

 Bo. Dovaston or Weeping, a great many fine plants, worked on 



straight stems, 7, 8, and 10 feet high, with good heads. 

 Do. adpressa, 2 and 8 feet. 

 Do. do., worked on common Yew, as standards. 

 Do. goid striped. 1£ to 2 feet, by the thousand. 

 Do. do., a splendid lot of plants, 4 to 6 feet. 



Do. do., worked as standards on the common Yew, 8 to 10 ft. high. 

 Do. do., worked on Irish Yews, 6, 7, and 8 feet high. 

 Do. elegantissima, or new gold striped; a larg tuantUy, 1£ to 



2h feet, and also worked as standards on the common and Irish 

 ews. We may safely assert our stock of Golden Yews is 



unsurpassed. 

 Do. yellow berried (true), very beautiful when in fruit as we 



have it, li to 3 feet. 

 Libocedrus chilensis, 2 to 3 feet, very handsome and bushy. 

 Thuja Weareana, fine bushes, 3. 4, 5, 6, and 8 feet. This is one 



ot the most useful, and, at the same time, ornamental hardy 



plants we possess. 



Do. American, for hedge?, doubtless the very best, 4, 5, and 6 feet. 



Do. anrea, or Golden Arbor-vitffi. This plant originated at this 

 Nursery; it has now, as it deserves, become a universal 

 favourite. Our stock of it enables us to offer a choice of many 

 hundred fine specimens, from 14 to 3 and 4 feet high, and as 



much through — in fact, perfect globes. 

 Weliingtonia gigantea, a few of the finest plants in the country, 



being near 1J feet high, and as much wide. 

 Hollies variegated, by the thousand, 2, 3, and 4 feet high. Some 



splendid Plants, 10 to 15 feet high. 



We may here remark with reference to the large specimens 

 alluded to in this Advertisement that every one of them is in a 

 condition to transplant, and travel any distance with perfect safety. 

 They have one and all been annually removed in our Nursery, 

 and in soliciting a personal inspection of our stock, we believe 

 we are justified in stating it onvrs a choice which is to be found 

 in bur few establishmen of its kind in this country. 



The Nursery may be reached in 40 minutes by Train from the 

 Waterloo Station: and the South Western Railway Company 

 having a Branch on to the North Western, enables us to send 

 plants to all parts, in trucks throughout, without packing and 

 other extensive additions.
