THE CARMINE-COLOURED WATER LILY. 

 We have the satisfaction to inform our Patrons that the 

 arrangements made in our new Aquarium for the culture of 

 this and other beautiful Water Plants, have been very suc- 

 cessful ; and that we not on'y have the superb species nanud 

 at the head of this notice flowering in a very superior manner 

 every morning, but have a'so the gratification of daily showing 

 to those who honour us with their visits seven or eight other 

 kinds in singularly fine bloom, among them we may especially 

 refer to — 



Njmpbseacyanea I Xyinptuea dentata 



mexicana I ,, micran'ha 



» a sanguinea | ,, esculenta 



All of which, those who love Exotic Water Plants, will 

 recognise as possessing great beauty and rarity. We may also 

 observe, that < ur Aquarium possesses two extremely vigorous 

 plants ot Sir Rub rt Schomburgk's celebrated introdu tion, 



the VICTORIA REQIA, one of whica is Don lowering in 

 great pe- fection. 



We ^hall esteem it an honour to fchow our Patron*, or their 

 fri< n«ls, these noble productions ; and, therefore, most respect* 

 fully solicit their visits to see them and the other objtotf ot 

 interest our establishment may possess. 



%* The new and beautiful soeoted Poeonies, rivalling the 

 RoRe in fragrance, are now blooming.

and SON respectfully announce to 



Is and the public that the Collection of 

 ROSES at Woodlands will be in fine bloom about the first 

 week in July, and will continue flowering during the Rose 

 season. 



W. W. and Son here think it necessary to state, injustice to 



themselves, that their stock this season far surpasses in 



quantity (by many thousands), the display of former years. 



For the convenience of visitors, a raised platform has been 



erected, from which parties will be enable 1 to compass at one 



view a quarter of 10 acres covered with Roses in full bloom, 



presenting a coup d'veul perhaps never before witnessed in 

 one garden. 



Marestield is situated 12 miles from II ay ward's Heath, a 

 station of the London and Hrighton Railway, from whence 

 conveyances to the Nursery may be obtained. 'Parties leaving 

 London by an early traiti would reach Lewes in time for the 

 12 o'clock coach, which runs daily to Ringlet Cross Gate, 

 about two mien from the Nursery.

P. TYE'S REGISTERED HYACINTH 



BOTTLE, WITH FLOWER SUPPORT.— The very 

 favourable notice which this invention elicited when submitted 

 to the Horticultural Society, the bi<h opinion expressed by 

 Dr. Liudley of its merits, and the satisfaction with which it 

 has been bailed by many eminent florists, have fully esta- 

 blished its claim to public favour. 



The Horticultural Society's Meeting, May 18th, 1851 — 

 "These are band some, clever, contrivances; if cheap enough 

 (the price not being sent), cannot fail to be universally an- 

 proved of" * ■* 



In leading article (with engraving), after describing the 

 invention, Dr. I.indiey remarks, " this is oy far the most beau- 

 tiful contrivance of the kind we have yet seen; and will no 

 doubt, universally displace the ugly things now in use'" 

 Gardeners* Chronicle, May 10. 



Birmingham and Midland Society, for the advancement of 

 Floriculture.— A First Class Certificate awarded for i'. 



In a critique on the articles from Birmingham, in the " Great 

 Exhibition," Class 22.— "The defects in the ordinary gla^s, so 

 painfully apparent to all lovers of floriculture, are completely 

 remedied in the improved stand, which has a firm broad base- 

 and is furnished with an ingeniously contrived, but eimple 

 apparatus, intended to maintain the flower in an upright 

 position. These bottles are made in various coloured glais 

 are tasteful in shape, and are easily convertible, when not in 

 use for Hyacinths, into flower vases, or else into appropriate 

 ornaments for the drawing-room or toilette table."

 fordshire ; or Mr. G. P. Tte, the Inventor, Snow-hill.
