SEEDS OF THE BEST QUALITY, CARRIAGE FREE. 



JC. WHEELER and SON have had the honour of 

 • being appointed Seedsmen to the Gloucestershire Agri- 

 cultural Association. Their Priced List of Seeds for this 

 season is just ready, and will be forwarded free by post to any 

 address on receipt of two postage stamps. This Catalogue is 

 not a long list of useless names ; it is really what it professes 

 to be f a List of the best Seeds in cultivation, and will be found 

 a safe guide to all purchasers. 



Dr. Lindley, in the Gardener? ChronicU, of the 2d March 

 last, strongly recommends it in the following terms : 



" THE CATALOGUE OF SEEDS SOLD BY J. C. WHEELER 

 AND CO., GLOUCESTER, appears to ua to deserve notice, 

 because of the stand which its authors make, in common with 

 ourselves and others, against the useless, incomprehensible 

 Seed Lists of the day. In this, as in all matters of taste, there 

 will be a difference of opinion as to the relative qualities of 

 varieties ; yet the mass of buyers who have no fancies, but who 

 dislike being perplexed, and are satisfied with what is excel- 

 lent, will greatly prefer a Bhort select Seed List to an intermin- 

 able labyrinth of names, which, for the most part, represent 

 nonentities or rubbish. Messrs. WHEELER'S little book will 

 do something to satisfy their expectations." 



J. C. Wheeler and Sow, deliver their Seeds Carriage Free.

CAMELLIA STOCKS FIT FOR IMMEDIATE WORK. 



"DENfi LANGELIER, Clarendon Nursery, St. 



-« Helier, Jersey, begs to inform the Public that he has a 

 very extensive stock of the above, fit for immediate grafting, 

 very clean and healthy, well rooted, so as to leave without the 

 pot, consequently much less expense in conveying to any dis- 

 tant place. Price 36s., 40s. t and 50s. per 100. 



The stock is such as has never before been offered to the 

 public by any grower. 



R. L. has a most extensive collection of Double Camellias 

 at a very moderate rate and reduced price, as will be seen by a 

 Catalogue recently published, in which it is proved that they 

 can stand the climate out-of-doors without protection. The 

 Catalogue can be bad of R. L. by inclosing four penny stamps. 

 Remittance or reference from unknown correspondents. 



CAMUEL FINNEY and CO.'S CATALOGUE OF 



U SEEDS, for 1851, is now ready, and maybe had postage 

 free, on application. It contains a Select List of all the most 

 approved sorts of Culinary Vegetables in cultivation. Also an 

 extensive collection of Flower Seeds, including the imported 

 German kind*, with descriptions, stating the proper time for 

 sowing, hardiness, duration, height, time of flowering, and the 

 colour of each, with much other useful information. The col. 

 lections of ^eeds sent out last year bv S. F. and Co. having 

 given general satisfaction, they again offer them as under,

OUBLE LILY op the VALLEY.— In answer to 



numerous inquiries for 1 the above, and the great satis- 

 faction given by the plants sent Out by J. R£ii> last 

 season, he begs to state he has this year a few strong 

 Flowering Roots 'to dispose of. The graceful habit, delicate 

 appearance, and delicious perfume which the flower pos- 

 sesses, render it equally suitable for the Lady's Posey or 

 the Drawing-room Bouquet. By enclosing 24 penny postage 

 stamps, 12 strong Roots will be sent free to any part of the 

 United Kingdom.— J. Reid, Nurseryman and Seedsman, Rich-

C UCU If BER— " PHENOMENA." 



EDWARD TILEY begs to offer to Cucumber- 

 growers generally the above superb CUCUMBER, which 

 he feels confident will give the greatest satisfaction to them, 

 as did the former kind3 sent out by him during the last seven 

 years, being Victory of Bath, Gordon's White Spine, and Lord 

 Keynon's Favourite. 



the above splendid Cucumber, "Phenomena," was a hybrid 

 between Hamilton's Black Spine and Mills's Jewess, which it 

 surpasses, both for, its prolific qualities and length of fruit, 

 generally growing from 22 to 28 inches. It is a beautiful black 

 spine, of a dark green colour, and free from ribs or shrivels ; 

 it also grows quickly, carries its bloom well, and will be found 

 first-rate for exhibition. As a proof of its prolific qualities 

 and length, the following may be vouched for, viz. :— There 

 were cut from two plants, grown in a one-light box, the size of 

 which was 4 feet by 6, 24 brace of Cucumbers, each fruit aver, 

 aging 22 inches long— total length of the whole amounting to 

 29 yards 1 foot. It is solid, and eats very crisp. Sold in 

 packets containing seven seeds, 5s. ; or three seeds, 2s. 6<J, 



E. T. has also seed of his three other superb Cucumbers at 

 the following prices : 



Victory of Bath, per packet 2s. 0d!. 



Gordon's White Spine, ditto 1 6 



Lord Keynon's Favourite, ditto 2 6 



This last is the best for winter cultivation. 



MELONS. 



BROMHAM HALL GREEN-FLESH MELON.— This has 



again this season surpassed all others for its superior flavour ; 



it was placed first and second for flavour at the Chiswick Ex. 



bibition last season, and obtained a great number of first 



prizes throughout the country where exhibited. Sold in 

 packets at Is. 6d. each. 



E. T.has also seeds of the following superb Melons, which 

 he can with confidence recommend : 

 Camerton Court Green-flesh 



Queen Melon 



Blackall's Green-flesh 

 Bailey's Green-flesh... 

 Bowood Green-flesh... 

 Beechwood Green-flesh 

 Windsor Prize ditto...
