HAWKES’S CHAMPAGNE RHUBARB- 
This most desirable variety is now for the first time offered to the public. 
It has stood the severest test that can be applied, and has beaten every¬ 
thing in Covent Garden and other London markets, in realizing higher 
prices, from its magnificent colour and size. It has been seen by the 
very highest authorities, and pronounced to be a most valuable introduc¬ 
tion. In earliness it equals the Prince Albert, but is of a deeper colour, 
and a much greater bearer. It forces remarkably well, and is very hardv 
out-of-doors. Mr. Hawkcs has placed the entire sale in the hands of 
DUNCAN HAIRS. 
Onc-ycar-old plants, strong, 5s each. A few two-years-old, very strong, 
for sale. 
LAIRG’S MAMMOTH RED CELERY. 
This is considered the largest yet grown, attaining the extraordinary 
weight of from 10lb. to 1211).. and, at the same time, perfectly solid. It 
is nearly perennial in its habits, as it will not, under any circumstances, 
j run to seed the first season, and it is difficult sometimes the second, when 
planted out for that purpose. In colour it is a bright red; in fiavour 
unsurpassed, if equalled. 
It has been seen growing by many practical gardeners, who deem it a 
new feature in the garden, from the fact that you may have it nearly all 
the year. Packets 2s fid each. 
DUNCAiy HAIRS, Seedsman, 109, St. Martin's Lane, London. 
MITCHELL’S HARDY EARLY CAULIFLOWER. 
This is grown precisely as the hand-glass variety, but when removed 
from the frame does not require the same protection, and comes in im¬ 
mediately after.- This is particularly recommended for gentlemen’s 
establishments. The head is not large, but handsome and compact, and 
is so firm, that you may let them stand from ten days to a fortnight, and 
they will not get pithy. This is quite a distinct variety. Packets 2s fid 
each.
