S P ECI A L. 



HUGH LOW & GO. 



Specially call the attention of their friends to 

 the very varied and enormous Stock of both 

 Indoor and Outdoor Plants and Trees growing 

 in their Nurseries at Clapton and Bush Hill 

 Park, earnestly inviting inspection of the same. 

 When time is limited three and a half hours will 

 suffice for a flying visit to both Nurseries, by 

 taking the trains (very frequent) from Liverpool 

 Street Station of Great Eastern Railway to Bush 

 Hill Park Station, returning on same line to 

 Stoke Newington Station, which is ten minutes' 

 walk from Clapton Nursery.

A NEW VEGETABLE! 



A DELICIOUS SALAD II 



A New Delicious Vegetable and Salad 

 Combined. 



"SHANTUNG CABBAGE." 



Cos Lettuce Shaped — Grows Anywhere — Only 

 Requires Tying up like Cos Lettuce. 



READ Mr. Geo. Hughes' report as 

 late Commissioner at Cheefoo, in the Kew 

 Bulletin, also Gardeners' Chronicle of last May 

 (p. 619), where lie states : — " Eaten Raw, in 



a Salad, it is of so Delicious a Flavour 

 that I know of no Vegetable in England 

 to approach it." When boiled the flavour 

 and character becomes altered, and it is enjoyable 

 as a delicious and welcome change to Seakale, 

 Asparagus, Greens, &c.
