Ipswich Nursery (Messrs. R. Jeffries and Soil) is situated within 

 two or three hundred yards of the principal west entrance of the town 

 from which it derives its name. It was founded by Mr. R. Jeffries, one of 

 the present occupiers, about the year 1810, since which time additions 

 have been made, and which (being in detached parts) are appropriated to 

 the rearing of a general collection of fruit and forest trees, with evergreen 

 and flowering shrubs ; while the original, or homestead, is a receptacle for 

 the rarer flowering plants, abounding with a good collection of roses, 

 American plants, and some of the most showy herbaceous plants, some 

 florists' flowers, and a very splendid collection of georginas, many of which 

 were raised from seed on the premises ; and among which I notice the 

 following seedlings of the last two years, as being particularly worthy 

 6f the attention of the cultivator ; namely.

There is a good green-house, with a select and excellent collection of 

 green-house plants ; several pits and frames for the defence of half-hardy 

 plants,and other purposes. Upon the whole,this is an interesting little place ; 

 but to point out everjr species of plant would be superfluous in itself, and 

 uninteresting to the generality of readers ; I therefore content myself, for 

 the present, with giving the names of a few, which, on my visits there, 

 struck me as being worthy of particular attention, either for their rarity, their 

 beauty, or their fragrance.
