SUTTON'S SUPEHB 

 PO>T PR9B, 



J. Sutton and Sons had the honour of mpphjing the 

 Horticultural Society s Garden at ChUwick, with the 

 above-named Lettuce Seed, m Feb. 1849 ; and in March, 

 1850, tJie Editor of the Gardeners' Chronicle, in a 

 critique on Lettuces, says of the first of these : 



SVTTOS'S i€ SUPERB WrflTfci" LETTUCE. 



,f This is the very best Cos Lettuce, very large, li^ht green, 

 leaves hooded at the top, so that they clo e in without tying, 

 blanching white, crisp, so excelleut that one would suppose 

 no higher degree of perfection c uld be attained, as regards a 

 summer Lettuce." And of the other two, he further says, 

 " SU TTON'S SUPERB GREEN COS : this very much resem- 

 bles the preceding, but is of a darker green, and hardier, 

 ther ore is preferable for sowing early in spring, and also f r 

 autumn use ; in warm, sheltered siuations, it will stand the 

 wiater, if the latter prove mild. For the generally of winters, 

 however, a hardier Cos is required ; suoh is the following — 

 SUTTON'S BKRKSHIRE BRO *VN COS: this is the best Cos 

 for standing the winter; it is large, and of good quality, 

 blanching very crisp ; therefore its brown outside should not 

 be considered objectionable." 



These superior Lettuces may be had in good sized packets of 

 Seed, sufficient to raise several thousand plants, at 1*. (or l. ; 

 pos^ge stamp-) for each sort. 



Address — John Sutton and Sons, Seed Growers, 



Reading, Berks. 



Also Sutton's Solid White Celery, and Sutton's Imperial 

 Cabbage, 1*. per packet, decidedly the best sorts in cultivation 

 Conqueror of the West Cucumber, 1*. per packet ; Orach e, 0d., 

 same sore as described by the Editor of the Gard. Chronicle.

NEW AND CHOICE FLOWER SEEDS, GERMAN STOCKS, 



GERMAN ASTERS, &<_. 



JC. WHEELER and SON, Nurserymen and 

 • Seedsmen, by Official App iutment, to the Gloucester- 

 shire Agricultural Association, 09, Nortbgace-street, Gloucester, 

 have selected, out of a large collection of Flower Seeds, 20 ot 

 the most beautiful and showy varieties, each sort distinct in 

 colour, and calculated to produce a fine effect when planted 

 out in beds or groups in the flower border. Each variety is 

 distinctly marked with its Botanical and English n«me, height, 

 time of flowering, colour of the flower, manner of growing, 

 whether erect or trailing, <fcc, Ac, the time it should be sown, 

 and other valuable hints as to its cultivation. In selecting 

 these 20 varieties, care has been taken to exclude all which are 

 shy-bloomers, or have an iusignincant appearance ; so that the 

 collection will comprise only those which are really showy and 

 handsome, and which, it is believed, would prove to the entire 

 satisfaction of any lady or gentleman who might be disposed to 

 order them. The German Stocks and Asters especially are 

 most auperb. — The 2o Packets are neatly packed up in one 

 paper,|and will be sent free by post, to any part of the Kingdom, 

 for 5s,

In anticipation of the coming Industrial Exhi- 

 bition, the Council of the Horticultural Society 

 have decided upon some new regulations, which it is 

 now time to make public. 



In the first place, each Fellow of the Society 

 may have 48 privileged tickets, instead of 24 3 as 

 heretofore. 



It is also settled that all Fellows shall have an 

 early admission at 12 o'clock, together with one 

 friend ; and that the same privilege shall be ex- 

 tended to the wife or sister of a Fellow ; he not 

 being able himself to attend. And in order to make 

 this regulation the more valuable, the public will 

 not be admitted till 2 o'clock, instead of 1 ; as in 

 former years. 



At the same time the admission fee payable on 

 the election of a Fellow is reduced from six guineas 

 to two guineas. 



Mr. Hosea Wateker, of Knap-hill, who has 

 withdrawn from the Royal Botanic Society's Exhi- 

 bitions in the Regent's-park, has also made arrange- 

 ments for displaying his magnificent American 

 plants in a part of the garden recently prepared for 

 the purpose. Admission to this exhibition will be 

 by tickets, 16*. each; but Fellows are personally 

 exempt from that charge. 



Finally, it is intended to authorise all Foreign 

 Ambassadors, Ministers, or Consuls-General, to 

 obtain tickets for the strangers belonging to the 

 nation they represent, without the formalities 

 formerly insisted upon in such cases. 



By these arrangements the privileges of Fellows 

 are very substantially enlarged, and at the same 

 time the utility of the Society will be much 

 increased. 



There is an amusing book called " The Art of 

 Duck," in which are given full instructions how a 

 young man, when he commences his course of uni- 

 versity education, may best ensure not getting a 

 degree; what he should do to ensure being plucked 

 at his examination, and how, by suitable reading, 

 occupation, and companions, he may best fit him>elf 

 to become a disgrace to his college. The book is 

 cleverly written, and though, perhaps, its real use
