 " Ferx Shades.— Many delight in seeing their beautiful Ferns 

 introduced into the domestic circle ; but without some such pro- 

 tection as these shades it would be impossible to preserve them. 

 The shades of which we speak are glass cylinders with a domed 

 top, which are placed on a glass pot wherein the Ferns have been 

 I planted, and they form on a small scale a pretty imitation of a 

 WardianCase.^

PUBLIC IN VITATIO N. 

 HEATING EXTENSIVELY BY ONE BOILER. 



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



HAVE this Season the pleasure of being able to 

 refer to several other extensive Establishments where 

 they have fixed ONE BOILER to do the same work which 

 hitherto has taken from six to twelve boilers. 



All the world knows the highly respectable firm of Messrs. 

 Edward Henderson & Co., of the Wellington Nursery, Welling- 

 ton Road, St. John's Wood, and as that Establishment is open to 

 the public Messrs. John Weeks & Co.'s Hot- water Apparatus 

 will now have a chance of being fairly tested and impartially 

 represented during this winter. Messrs. Edward Henderson* 

 Co. have now adopted what is called the "One Boiler System." 

 At their extensive Nursery any gentleman or horticulturist 

 can see the Hot-water Apparatus of several extensive ranges of 

 Hothouses, all connected to one boiler. We will here quote 

 Mr. Edward Henderson's own words, showing how he approves of 

 Messrs. J. Weeks & Co.'s system of heating by hot water. He says: 



u I am more than satisfied with the extraordinary results of whit 

 Messrs. John Weeks & Co. have done for me in heating a great 

 number of our hot-houses from one boiler. Tt is almost impotsxble 

 for me to express my satisfaction sufficiently strongly. The effect and 

 great saving produced is truly wonderful; less than two sacks of cofain 

 24 hours is all that is used to heat a variety of hothouses, &c, nearly 

 800 feet in length, and these various nouses are to some extent vsidtly 

 separated, as 300 feet stand in one direction, 150 feet in another, 200 feet 

 in another, and so on, including our large newly laidout winter garden" 



Messrs. John Weeks & Co. can also refer to several extensive 

 private establishments, where their Hot-water Apparatus can be 

 seen in operation, and in every case with the same favourable 

 results. J. W. & Co. also adhere strictly to all their former 

 statements relating to their one boiler system, and most 



respectfully solicit a 

 visit to their Garden Es- 

 tablishment at Chelsea, 

 which consists of Hot- 

 houses, Greenhouses, 

 Conservatories, Pits,&c., 

 the whole measuring 

 1000 feet in length, ex- 

 posing to the atmosphere 

 upwards of 16,000 super- 

 ficial feet of glass, the 

 whole heated by one 

 boiler, 5 feet high by 3 

 feet 6 inches in diameter, 

 the water in the va- 

 rious houses circulating 

 through 5000 feet of Hot- 

 water Pipe. 



The accompanying 



sketch represents our 

 improved fright Tubur 

 lar Boiler, with hollow 



furnace bars. Thelarge 

 surface which this Boiler 



exposes to the imme- 

 diate action of the fire 

 renders it of such extra- 

 ordinary power.

At our two establishments horticultural science is fully earned
