QTANW1CK NECTARINE—SALE 



O or the FUNDS of the GARDENERS' 

 SOCIbTV. 



Circumstances have rendered it necessary to modify th^ in- 

 tentions expressed at p. 676 ot the Gardeners 9 Chronicle, respect- 

 ing the Stanwick Nectarine. Up n examining the young 

 plants in Mr. Kivers's hands, it turns out that the number fit 

 for sale is much smaller than was anticipated, and that there 

 is a considerable difference in their quality. Applicants are 

 moreover auxiou* to otrain their plants without loss of time, 

 and withou; waiting for the chance of an auction which cannot 

 take place, to the advantage of the charity, sooner th*n next 

 spring. It has therefore been resolved to set aside the finest 

 plants for sale at troin 4 to 5 guineas each, and to di-pose of 

 others at 3 guineas each. Such as are unsold in the spring, If 

 there snouhi be any left, will be brought to the hammer as at 

 first proposed. 



Of the selected specimens, some are beautiful plants in pots, 

 bud fed on the Peach s f ock, and covered with blossom-buds, so 

 that they will fruit next year if repotted ; for these five guineas 

 will be charged. The remainder are very nne maiden plants in 

 the open quarier, budded on Plum stocks, aud without blossom, 

 buds ; t\<r these 4 guineas are req red. Gentlemen desirous of 

 aiding the excellent charity to wnose funds the produce of t <>e 

 pale of these plants will be applied, by order of his Grace the 

 Duke ot Northumberland, are rrquested to apply to Mr. William 

 BmArxsFoaD, 21, he,eut-*treet, London, giving their exact ad- 

 dressee, aud stating by what conveyance the plants are to be 

 transmuted from the station at Harlow, on the Cambridge line 

 of the Easteru Counties Railway, where they will be delivered 

 without tur htr charge. It is requested that Post-cflBce orders 

 may be made payable to Mr. William B&ailsfobd, who. upon 

 their receipt, wni return an -order upon Mr. Riveas for the 

 transmission of the plants. 



App ications will be complied with in the exact order in which 

 they are received, and due notice will be given when the five 

 guinea and four guinea plants are exhausted. 



May we be permitied to * xpre«s a hope, that although no 

 pecuniary profit cau be derived by nurserymen from a sale 

 whose prove eda go to a charitable use, yet that they will, never- 

 theless, endeavour to make known, within the circle of ibeir 

 customers, the terms on which the Scanwick Necuriue may 

 njw he procured.

TO THF. RF.ADERS OF THE "MIDLAND FLOaiST." 



ESTIMONIAL TO MR. WOOD._At a recent 



private meeting of fiieuds, at Mr. Dod well's, the subject 

 of the Midland Florist, and the loug and honourable service ot 

 its fcduor, was introduced ; anl it was suggested, that the 

 great meeting, to be held in May next, offered a most appro- 

 priate opportunity to present to Mr. Wood a Testimonial, 

 expressive of tne esteem and cordial regard his conduct as a 

 man, and his long and eminent service in the cause of Flori 

 culture, had engendered ; aud it was unanimously determined 

 that measures should instantly be taken in furtherance of this 

 object. In the first instance tuis notice was not contemplated, 

 but it was quickly felt that to keep the subject private mu*t 

 lead to the exclusion of the large body of Florists. Mr. Wool) 

 was therefore informed ot the purpose, and excepting that he 

 disi ictly refuse* to receive a money gift, he appreciates the 

 feeling displayed. 



Florists of England ! of the whole world 1 it is no part of the 

 purpose of the writer of this to eulogise the services of Mr. 

 Wuod ; hose services must have b^en, and be now felt, or this 

 notice will fall a dead letter on your hearts. Those services 

 have been many and various, freely and with honour rendered, 

 wherever needed ; and it is noc of the least, when, despite trie 

 sacrifice as a professional Florist, he has cheerfully rendered 

 you his aid at your great meetings. Come forward, then, and 

 render honour to him who has honoured you; who has given 

 you a place and a name of honour amongst the nations. Let 

 ail classes take the w.»rk to their hearts, the humblest as well 

 as the most elevated ; aud that all may join in an act of graceful 

 homage to high worth, Subscriptions, however small, will be
