RSHACKELL respectfully informs the public that 

 • ho has an extensive variety of SINGLE ANEMONE 

 ROOTS, of last year's Seedling*. The flowers are tich in 

 oolcur ; and for those who desire their gardens to be of brilliant 

 bloom in winter, none can be more suitable, as young roots 

 always are in flower much earlier than the old ones. If these 

 roots be planted now, they will be sufficiently grown to take 

 them up with earth attached to the roots, to fill the vacancies 

 of the flower borders. 



R. S. has also a large supp 7 y of PANSY SEED, saved from a 

 collection of flowers tha* has obtained universal admiration. 

 If these be s -wn this pre»ent au'umn, in a rich soil, they will 



be fit to remove to supply vacancies in the flower borders at 

 the same time as the ANEMONES. 



R. S. confidently recommends both of the above, and is quite 

 sure that none who try them will be disappointed. Terms ; —

JUDSON'S RICHMOND VILLA BLACK HAMBURGH VINE. 



JOHN ANDREW HENDERSON and CO. have 



J the pleasure of infurming their patrons and friends that 

 they are now sending out this very excellent new Grape at 



215. each. 

 Its distingu'shing 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 colours full ten days earlier than the Black Hamburgh ; 

 b ing a mo-t ab indant bearer, and good setter, will P r °*«* 

 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,
