EE CARNATIONS. 

 "Flowering Winter and Summer." 



YOUELL and CO. have now to offer a fine stock of 

 all th>> best varieties of the above deservedly favourite 

 class, which cannot he too strongly recommended, not only for 

 their fragrance, but the brilliant display they afford during the 

 autumn and winter months, either in the Greenhouse, Conserva- 

 tory, or open Garden. In Bouquets they are unsurpassed. Strong 

 plants in pots, 18*. per dozen. 



They also beg to call attention to the following:— 



CARNATIONS AM PICOTEES. 

 Our collection of the above is probably the most extensive in 



wer. 



No country has cheaper microscopes titan this, but 

 they are bad ; no country has belter instruments, 

 but they are costly. Goodness and cheapness Are a 

 rare combination, and in fine optical instruments 

 have been hitherto so incompatible that vm have 

 been in a manner compelled to refer our inquirers 

 to Paris 4 ! Beilin, or Vienna instead of London. It 

 gives us great pleasure to say that this difficulty is 

 removed. We have now before us a microscope 

 manufactured by Smith and Beck, of No, 6, 

 Coleman Street, which may be had for ten pounds, 

 having excellent construction combined with good 

 mechanical arrangements, in which latter respect 

 the cheap microscopes made in Paris by Nachez are 



defective. 



The instrument in question is called " the educa- 

 tional microscope." It has good movements, a solid 

 stand, so as to prevent unsteadiness, an inch and a 

 quarter inch object glass, two oculars or eye-pieces 

 of different power, and such apparatus as is indis- 

 pensable to the student. Beyond this it is not 

 necessary to go, in order to gain a knowledge of 

 those common things of which the mass of mankind

 The choicest varieties by name at 18*. and 24j. per dozen pairs. he ^ ^ bey on(1 ^ ^ tatus f a student. 



We venture to draw attention to this instrument
