C. WHEEL EH and SON have had the honour of 



=• * being appointed 8e*d*uien to the Gloucestershire Aeri- 

 cullnral A»*<*-iation. Their Priced Lint ot Seeds tor tnis 

 season is ja*c ready, and will be forwarded free by post to any 

 addre** oo receipt of two postage stamps. This Catalogue is 

 *aot a long list or useless names ; it is really what it professes 

 to b«» a Liat of the beat Seeds in cultivation, and will be found 



» safe guide to all pure baser*. 



Dr. Li a dle r, in the Gardener? ChroniaU t of the 2d March 

 last strun/iv recommends it in the following terms : 

 •« THE CATALOGUE OF SEEDS SOLD BY J. C. WHEELER 



AND CO, <;LOu*CB$TER, appears to us to deserve notice, 

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

 ourselves and others, against the useless, incomprehensible 

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

 will be a difference of opinion as to tha 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 short select Seed List to an intermin- 

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

 nonentities or rubbish. Messrs. VV HEELER'S little book will 



do something to satisfy their eipectations."

CUCUMBER—" PHENOMENA." 



PDWARD T1LEY begs to offer to Cucumber- 



-a-^ 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 

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

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

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

 1^5^~ lon J-total length of the whole amounting to 

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



THE BLACK AUSTRIAN PINE.—" PINUS AUSTBIACI- 



LUCOMBE, PINCE, and Co. have a large L 

 healthy stock of this most desirable Pine, exceaV 

 300,000, from 9 inches to 3 feet high, which having beafj 

 qutntly transplanted, are well rooted and safe to remove, lb 

 can otter them, varying according to age and quality, £ 

 20s., 405., to 60s. per 1000. This Pine has been provedtotbln 

 in bleak and exposed places, and in the poorest soils ; g^fa 

 rapidly and producing dense shelter in places where 5 

 trees will not grow ; it also thrives well close to the sea, its* 

 ing the spray and roughest winds.
