150 Charlwood's Catalogue for 1834. 



lection. Parti. Hardy Plants. 8 vo, pp. 116. Hamburgh, 

 1833. 



This is an exceedingly well got up catalogue ; and it is printed 

 on much better paper than is generally the case with German 

 publications. It will be particularly useful to the English 

 reader, by giving him the German names of all the plants in 

 general cultivation; and it were much to be wished that similar 

 catalogues were prepared by eminent French and Dutch nursery- 

 men. Honourable testimony has already been paid in this 

 Magazine, by Professor Agardh (IX. 417.)? to the science, 

 liberality, and industry of the Messrs. Booth. 



The arrangement of this catalogue is popular, and quite cha- 

 racteristic of the German school. It is divided into, fruit trees ; 

 forest trees, for park and forest scenery ; fir trees, for shelter- 

 hedges ; ornamental trees, for groups ; evergreen trees, for 

 groups ; berry-bearing trees ; weeping trees ; plants for orna- 

 menting graves (these are choice perennial spring flowers, and 

 different kinds of periwinkle) ; twining and climbing plants ; 

 hedge plants ; peat-earth plants ; trees and shrubs for use in 

 laying out grounds ; perennial herbaceous plants (those which 

 are evergreen being designated by marks); middle-sized georginas; 

 double-flowered dwarf georginas; double anemone-flowered 

 georginas ; pseonies ; auriculas ; carnations and pinks ; hearts- 

 eases (18 sorts, with names); new select flowers; culinary vege- 

 tables; hops; and ^4'corus Calamus, which is sold by the hundred. 

 The second part of this catalogue will contain house plants.

 Garden : A Catalogue, for 1834, of American and other Tree, 

 Shrub, and Herbaceous Plant Seeds, imported for sale. A 

 folio sheet, for being sent by post. 



This catalogue enumerates 420 articles ; and has, besides, a 

 postscript, stating that a further collection of seeds from the 

 Southern States is daily expected ; of which a supplementary list 

 will be immediately printed. The prices put to all the articles are 

 remarkably low ; in some cases, twenty-six sorts of herbaceous 

 plants for a shilling ! A great many tree and shrub seeds are 

 included in this catalogue : for example, 24 species of pines, 

 10 of oaks, 8 of birch, 10 of walnuts and hickories, 5 of magno- 

 lias, 7 of ash, 10 of i?ibiscus, 6 of / v lex, &c. Whoever has a 

 good gardener, and wishes to rear an arboretum, or to have a 

 good collection of herbaceous plants, cannot go a cheaper way 

 to work than by sending for this catalogue and making a selection 

 from it.
