" Experimental Gardens, Edinburgh, 10th March, 1855. 

 u Excerpt from Minutes of Prize Committee oj the Caledonian 



Horticultural Society of this date. : - 



■ Thanks were voted to Mr. Gird wood for exhibiting specimens 

 of a Ttimip g .wn by him at Corstorphine, and known in some 

 parts of England by the name of Chirk Castle, Black stone, which 

 when boiled were pronounced by the Prize Committee to be of 

 excellent quality, and a valuable culinary vegetable. In addition 

 to its superior quality it stands the winter without injury, and 

 even at this dare is equal to the White Dutch Turnip in succu- 

 lence and flavour.

JOHN TAYLOR and SON beg to call the attention 

 of the nobility and gentry to the very superior manner in 

 which they Erect all kinds of Conservatories, Vineries, Green- 

 houses, Ac, combining every improvement with elegance of 

 design, and durability of materials and workmanship. 



Their VENTILATING APPARATUS for the Fronts and 

 R^ofs of Houses has given the highest satisfaction. Churches, 

 Chapels, Schools, Entrance Halls, Public Buildings, &c, heated 

 with Hot-Water Apparatus in a most economical and efficient 

 manner. J. T. & Son have great pleasure in referring to numbers 

 of the nobility and gentry by whom they are extensively engaged. 



PUBLIC INVITATION. 



HEATING EXTENSIVELY BY ONE BOILER. 



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



FI AVE 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, Wei ing- 

 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 roiler. 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: 



"lam more than satisfied with the extraordinary results of what 

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

 number of our hot-houses from one boiler. It is almost impossible 

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

 great saving produced is truly vjonderful; less than two sacks of coke in 

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

 8Q"fr,et in lengthy and these various houses are to some extent widely 

 separated, as 300 feet stand in one direction, 150 feet in another. 2^)0 feet 

 in another % and so on, including our large newly laid-out 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 'o 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 onb 

 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 Upright Tubu- 

 lar Boiler, with hollow 

 furnace bars. Thelarg. 

 surface which this Boiler 

 exposes to the imme- 

 diate action of the fire 

 renders it of such extra- 

 ordinary power.

 M Fern 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 

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

 Wardian Case/'
