WATEREB 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, 

 all stocky well grown plants; the larger sizes especially it 

 would be difficult to match. 



Cednis Peodara, U,2 t 3, 4, and 5 feet, by the thousand; do. a 

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

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

 planting, having been annually removed. 



Cedar >f Lebanon, 3, 4, 5 r and 6 feet; do. a few splendid Trees, 



10 and 12 feet. 



Cedars Red Virginian, 5 to 8 feet. 



Cedars, variegated white, 2, 3, and 4 feet, one of the handsomest 



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

 tensively planted at Elvaston Castle. 

 Cryptomeria japonica, fine plants, 4 to 7 fc^t. 

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



Nothing can be handsomer than some of the specimens of this 



fine hardy plant. 

 Juniper, Chinese, 2 I 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 stock of the two last mentioned Junipers we believe 



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



are perfect columns. 

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

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

 Abies Douglas!, 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, li 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, li, 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 insignia, li 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. 



„ Montezumje, fine plants, 4 and 5 feet. 



V, macrocarpa, 2 and 3 feet, from seed, 

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



The following 10 varieties form a very singular eroup. They 

 are of dwarf habits; the well known Abies Clanbraziliana may 

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

 be quit.- unique, and, we may add, most interesting. 

 Pinus 8trobus pumila (the dwarf Weymouth). 



„ sy lvestris pumila (the dwarf Scotch). 

 Abies Claubraziliana I Abies pumila 1 All dwarf varieties 



,, compacta „ diffusa V of the 



n Pygmasa | „ Gregori ) Spruce Fir. 



Picea pectinata pygrnarm (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. 



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



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

 Do. adpressa, 2 and 3 f ee t. 



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



Do. gold striped, li 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 large quantity, li to 

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

 Yews. 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 chiiensis, 2 to 3 feet t very handsome and bushy. 

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



of 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. aurea, or Golden Arbor-vitae. This plant originated at this 

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

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

 hundred fine specimens, from 1£ to 3 and 4 feet high, and as 

 much through— in fact, perfect globes. 



Wellingtonia gigantea, a few f the 6nest plants in the country, 

 being near 1$ 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. s * ome 



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 offers a choice which is to be found 

 in but few establishments of its kind in this country. 



The Nursery ma y 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 part*, m trucks throughout, without packing and 

 other extensive additions.

 NETTING FOR SHEEP FOLDSi ~~ 



WILDEY and CO., Holland Street, Blackfriars 

 Road. London, are the original introducers of the 

 COCOA-NUT FIBRE SHEEPFOLDING NETS, which 14 

 years' experience has proved to possess the most extraordinary 

 durability when exposed to alterations of weather. Cocoa-nut 

 fibre will wear out several sets of tarred hemp netting, and is so 

 light that a herdsman may with ease carry 200 yards of it. 



Wildey & Co. were awarded a Prize Medal for this Netting 

 by the Royal Agricultural Society in 1842, at the Exhibition of 

 all Nations, in 1851, and at the Exposition Uniyerselfe, Paris, 

 1855. Sold in Nets of 50 and 100 yards long, 42 inches high, by 

 the Manufacturers, Wildey & Co., at the Cocoa-nut Fibre 

 Works, Holland Street, Blackfria rs Roa d, Lo ndon. 



BALUSTRADING FOR GARDEN TERRACES, 

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

 Austin and Seeley), Nos. 1 to 4, Keppel Row, New Road. 



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

 after a winter's exposure is hardly distinguishable from that 

 material : it has been extensively used in S cotland for 20 years.

 height, where a small fall can be obtained.
