TO THE ADMIRERS OF THAT SPLENDID 



AUTUMNAL FLOWER, 

 THE CHRYSANTHEMUM. 



YOUELL and CO. are now prepared to execute 

 orders from their exteusive and very select collection of 

 the above, comprising all the new and fine continental varieties, 

 at the following prices : — 



50 best new sorts 25$. 



25 ditto 15s. 



12 ditto 9f. 



Well established in small pots, or by post free. 



NEW DWARF CHINESE OR LILLIPUTIENNE 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



This new and beautiful class is well deserving the attention 

 of cultivators, from their exceeding dwarf habit (not attaining 

 more than 1 foot in height). The profusion of flowers with 

 which they are covered, as well ai the great variety and dis- 

 tinctness of colour, will render them general favourites. Str. ng 

 plants for autumn blooming are now ready for bending out at 

 the following prices : — 



9 fine varieties, sent out in 1849 5$. 



13 ditto raised by M. Lebois, and sent out for the 



first time last season 125. 



30 extra fine ditto, quite new, of this year, and selected by 

 us when in bloom, 3s. 6d. each, 6 for 18s., 15 for 37s. €<!., 



or the set of 30 varieties 60s 



The above are perfect gems. Engravings of the same may 

 be seen at the Nursery. 



Descriptive Catalogues of the above may be had on applica- 

 tion. Printed directions of their successful and ea^y method 

 of cultivating the Chrysanthemum for exhibition, die, will be 

 forwarded with all orders. 



"GLOXINIA PETOIANA." 



We have the greatest satisfaction in calling attention to the 

 above magnificent Gloxinia, rai?ed at the seat of Samuel Morton 

 Peto, Esq., M.P., Somerleyton Hall, Suffolk, and which is, 

 without exception, the handsomest of the genus. The tljwers 

 are white, the upper and lower parts of the th oat being sur- 

 rounded (as in G. Fyfiana) with the richest crimson lake. It is 

 a profuse bloomer, the flowers very large, of great substaoce, 

 and of ihe finest form, and will prove a most valuable addition 

 to this beautiful genus. 



Good established Plants are now being sent out at 

 15s. each, with the usual discount to the trade, if three or more 

 are taken.— Yodell and Co., Royal Nursery, Great Yarmouth. 



JUDSON'S RICHMOND VILLA BLACK HAMBURGH VINE. 



OHN ANDREW HENDERSON and Co. have 



the pleasure of informing their patrons and friends that it 

 is their intention to send out this very excellent new Gr ape on 

 the 1st Sept. next, at 2 Is. each. 



Its distinguishing characteristics are as follows :— The foliage 

 is more deeply serrated, and the wood shorter jointed than the 

 Black Hamburgh ; the berries are oval, and rather elongated, 

 and are remarkable for a very fine bloom, not unlike that of 

 an Orlean Plum ; when fully ripe are a fine deep black, having 

 a fine rich flavour, and very juicy. 



It colour* full ten days earlier than the Black Hamburgh; 

 being a moat abundant bearer, and good setter, will prove a 

 most desirable kind for pot culture. One very remarkable 

 property this Grape possesses, which much enhances its value, 

 and makes it so superior to the Black Hamburgh is, that it 

 never produces abortive, or, as they are termed, vinegar berries ; 

 after careful observation, extending over three successive sea- 

 sons, not one could be detected, although in each season the 

 crop was abundant and good. The usual allowance to the 

 Trade.— Pine Apple Place, Edgeware-road, London. 



HO LLY H C K S ] 



LUCOMBE, PINCE, and CO., respectfully inform 

 the Public that their superb collection of HOLL VII' CK8 

 is now finely in BLOOM, and is well worthy the inspection of 

 those who admire this noble flower, which, owing to the vast 

 improvement in i:s form and ^colour, is rapidly aiid justly 



rising in public estimation. It consist of the finest varietie 

 carefully selected from the collections of the most celebrated 

 growers, together with maDy very excellent ones of their own 

 raiding. 



L. P. and Co. have now ready to send cut strong healthy 

 seedling plants, which will flower finely next season, at 15s. 

 per 100, package included. These Hollyhocks are warranted 

 by L. P. aud Co. as having been raised from seed carefully 

 saved by them in the autumn of 1850 from the very finest named 

 flowers.— Exeter Nursery, July 2o.
