THE BLACK AUSTRIAN PINE (PINITS AUSTRIACA). 



T UCOMBE, PINCE, and CO., have a large and 



-" healthy stock of this most desirable Pine, from y inches 

 to 3 feet high, which having been frequently transplanted, are 

 well-rooted and safe to remove : they can offer them, varying 

 according to age and quality, from 20s., 40s., to 60s. per 1000. 

 This Pine has been proved to thrive in bleak and exposed 

 places, and in the poorest soils, growing rapidly, and producing 

 dense shelter in places where otner trees will not grow ; it also 

 thrives well close to the sea, resisting the spray and roughest 

 winds. N. B. The present is a very line time for planting.

T C. WHEELER and SON, Nurserymen and 



t-r % Seedsmen, by Official Appointment, to the Gloucester- 

 shire Agricultural Association, 99, Northgate-street, Gloucester, 

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

 the most Wutiful 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 name, height, 

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

 whether erect or trailing, «fc c ., <fcc, the time it should be sown, 

 and other valuable hints us to its cultivation. In selecting 

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

 shy-bloomers, or have an insignificant 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 Asten especially are 

 most superb.— The 20 Packets are neatly packed up in one
