HORTICULTURE

ITS 

 BRANCHES 



JOHH WEEKS & Co., King's Pwoad, Chelsea, 



HOTHOUSE BUILDER S. 



THE 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 3$. 8d. 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. 



HEATING BY HOT WATER. 



JOHN WEEKS & Co., King's Road, Chelsea, Hor- 



9 * ticnltural Builders and Hot Water Apparatus Manufacturers. 

 At our two Establishments horticultural science is fully carried 



out in all its branches. 

 The accompanying 

 sketch represents our 

 Improved Boiler. These 

 Boilers are very power- 

 ful, durable, and econo- 

 mical. The whole of our 

 extensive nursery estab- 

 lishment is heated by 

 one boiler, measuring 

 only 5 ft. by 3 ft. 6 in. 

 The Houses heated con- 

 sist of forcing- houses of 

 various descriptions, 

 mnny of them are of 

 wide and lofty dimen- 

 sions, in length 1000 ft. 

 and exposing to the at- 

 mosphere upwards of 

 16,000 superficial feet 

 of glass. During the late 

 severe winter it only 

 cost us 3s. per day for 

 fuel, and we had more 

 than a sufficient com- 

 mand of heat. Any 

 numberof forcing-houses 

 can be heated by one of 

 our Boilers, and any part regulated at pleasure. Plans, Models, 

 and Estimates of Horticultural Buildings, or Heating by Hot 

 Water, forwarded on application.

GAS CHANDELIERS and BRACKETS.— 

 The increased and increasing use of gas in private houses

 manufacturers all that is new and choice in Brackets, Pendant- 

 and Chandeliers, adapted to offices, passages, and dwelling-rooms, 

 as well as to have some designed expre sly for him; these are 

 ON SHOW over his SIXTEEN LARGE ROOMS, and present, 

 for novelty, variety, and purity of taste, an unequalled assort- 

 ment. They are marked in plain figures, at prices proportionate 

 ^ith those which have tended to make his Establishment the 

 largest and most remarkable in the kingdom, viz., from 125. Sd.

 the City of London, Chemical Referee to th«- Corporation of 

 London, &c, &c, <fec. 

 * I have frequently had occasion to analyse the Cod Liver Oil 

 which is sold at your establishment. 1 mean that variety which 

 is prepared for medicinal use in the Loffoden Isles, Norway, and 

 sent into commerce with the sanction of Dr. De Jongh, of the 



Hague. 



"In all cases I have found it possessing the same set of 

 properties, among which the presence of cholaic compounds and 

 of iodine in a state of organic combination are the moht remark- 

 able ; in fact, the Oil corresponds in all its characters with that 

 named " Huile brune/ and described as the best variety in the 

 masterly treatise of Dr. 1)E Jongh. 



"It IS, I BELIEVE, UNIVERSALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS 

 DESCRIPTION OF OlL HAS GEEAT THERAPEUTICAL POWER- D, 



FROM MY INVESTIGATIONS, I HAVE NO DOUBT OF ITS BEING A 

 PURE AND UNADULTERATED ARTICLE.

pOLDS, COUGHS, ASTHMA, INFLUENZA, aod 



V>/ DISEASES of the CHEST and LUNG?, arise chiefly from 

 alternations of Temperature. Painful and troublesome as these 

 diseases are, they may be speedily and effectually removed by 



the judicious use of 



SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR. 

 SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR is admirably adapted to 

 promote expectoration, ease the breathing, loosen the phlegm, 

 abate fever, and allay the tickling sensation which occasions the 

 cough, without tightening the chest; and for all temporary and 

 local affections—such as wheezing, irritation of the throat, palpi- 

 tation of the heart, hoarseness of the voice, influenza, &c —it 

 affords immediate relief. While in more chronic disorders, as 

 periodical coughs or inveterate asthma, it is equally valuable in 

 its effects, although, of course, a longer perseverance in the use of 

 the article is required. !

CACIOUS REMEDIES FOR BAD LEGS.— Mr. 11. 

 Jones, of the Blue Boar, Llanerchyonedd, had a very bad leg, 

 completely covered with wounds, to cure which he tried all 

 available remedies for more than six months, but without 

 success at last. A clergyman recommended him to try Hollo- 

 w-ay's Ointment aud Pills. After using th*»m for a short time, 

 the wounds began to heal, and in a few weeks his leg was per- 

 fectly cured, ingratitude for which Mr. Jones will answer any 

 inquiries about it.— Sold bv all Medicine Vendors throughout
