THE COTTAGE GARDENER—ADVERTISEMENTS. 
RENDLE’S PRICE CURRENT. 
Opinion of Georye W. Johnson , Esq., the Editor of the 
a Cottage Gardener ”:— 
“ Your Price Current, so well got up, is excellent, and full of useful 
information.’* ___ 
RENDLE’S PRICE CURRENT. 
Opinion of Mr. Georye Glenny, the Editor of many of the 
leading Horticultural publications of the day :— 
“The Trade Catalogue. —No documents are more interesting to 
the gardener than the catalogues of the trade, when such documents are 
original. They have ceased to be plain lists like each other, and already 
assume more important forms. 
“ Rendle’s Price Current is a complete work, containing, indepen¬ 
dently of the lists and prices of everything, a history of the leading 
subjects, with directions for Culture, a general Calendar of Operations 
for the year, and a mass of information appertaining to the garden. The 
Seed Catalogue is on a plan of selection, giving assortments at various 
prices for large and small establishments, and there are many pages of 
Advertisements. It is a great improvement on the one last year.” 
RENDLE’S PRICE CURRENT. 
Opinion oj Mr. Jennings, Head Gardener to Earl of Derby, 
Knowsley Hall , Prescol :— 
“ Your arrangement of the Calendar reflects great credit on you, and 
must have proved a heavy task. The remarks about rotations, pre¬ 
parers, &c., will lead to much good. You really deserve the best wishes 
of all gardeners for the task you have performed in so masterly a 
manner.” 
RENDLE’S PRICE CURRENT. 
Opinion of Mr. D. Beaton , Surbiton , Kingston, Surrey, one of 
the most popular Horticultural writers of the day :— 
“ I have a copy of Mr. Rendle’s Price Current for this year, and I 
can tell you at once that it is the most useful Catalogue and Calendar 
that was ever sent out from any house of business in our line, and I do 
not see what more you could add to it by way of usefulness. How 
different from the bare-bone lists to which you and I had access when 
we first took to the spade on our own account! ” 
RENDLE’S PRICE CURRENT has been 
already favourably noticed by the following Newspapers and 
Magazines :—

Farmer’s Journal,” “The Agricultural Magazine,” “The Plough,” 
“ Lloyd’s Weekly Newspaper,” “Plymouth Herald,” “Exeter Gazette,”

Gazette,” “ Southern Florist,” “ Midland Florist,” “ Stockport Adver¬

RENDLE’S PRICE CURRENT. 
Opinion of Mr. Hamilton, the well-known Author of the 
11 Hamiltonian System of Pine Culture," &c .:— 
“Your descriptive remarks in Rendle’s Price Current, together with 
the mode of handling the subject, eclipses everything of the kind ever 
published to the gardening world in that form. It will be invaluable 
to the young gardener and the amateur, and every practical gardener 
should have it as a reference. My opinion is that it will be exceedingly 
useful to seedsmen, and I believe that when it is known, almost every 
seedsman in the kingdom will purchase it.” 
RENDLE’S PRICE CURRENT. 
Opinion of the Editor of the “ Florist" for February, 1854 :— 
“ Rendle’s Price Current and Garden Directory for 1854 contains 
elaborate descriptive lists of vegetable and flower seeds, in addition to 
much other useful matter, not the least of which is a Calendar of Opera¬ 
tions by Mr. Errington. We can only hope the information Mr. Rendle 
puts before his customers may meet with a hearty response.”

READ’S GARDEN ENGINES, SYRINGES, 
ETC. — When an article of real utility attracts public attention, 
imitators start into the field to snatch from the inventor the just 
reward of his labours. It has now become a daily practice to exhibit in 
the windows of ironmongers and others, Syringes of the very commonest 
description , with the words 
“READ’S PATENT,” 
as an inducement to purchasers. This, as an eminent writer on Horti¬ 
culture has recently remarked on the subject, is indeed “ living upon 
another man’s fame.”

RENDLE’S PRICE CURRENT. 
Opinion of Mr. W. Tillery, Gardener to His Grace the 
Duke of Portland, Welbeck :— 
“ lily dear Sir,—I beg to return many thanks for the copy of Rendle’s 
Price Current and Garden Directory for 1854. As far as my experience 
goes, I think your Calendar of Operations excellently planned, and the 
Directions are judicious and quite up to the mark for the present pro¬ 
gressive period. The remarks on the systematic rotation of vegetable 
cropping are likewise excellent, and will do much good if carefully put 
into force.—Yours truly, 
“To Mr. Errington. “ W. Tillery.” 
RENDLE’S PR 3 C E~CUR RE NT. 
Opinion of the Editor of the “ Ladies' Newspaper and 
Pictorial Times ”:— 
“Rendle’s Price Current for 1851.— This is one of those 
publications which, from their practical utility, are sure to recommend 
themselves among the large class to which they appeal. Their usefulness 
is their great recommendation, and no one connected with gardening or 
horticultural operations can do without such works. The proprietors of 
Rendle’s Price Current have received so much encouragement from the 
great success of their publication in former years, that it has stimulated 
them to make the present in every way worthy of the distinguished 
patronage enjoyed, as well as to support the high position they have 
gained in connection with it. Messrs. Rendle uot only give a complete 
catalogue of prices of the various seeds, hut much useful and practical 
information connected with gardening. Generally, and in practice also, 
we may refer to the operations of the month; the present one (January) 
we extract in another portion of our paper, as a sample of the useful 
matter contained in the work, which is heartily recommended to all our 
fair readers who take a pleasure in the pursuits of gardening.” 
rendle’s price Current” 
Opinion of the Editor of the u Midland Florist and Suburban 
Horticulturist :"— 
“ We had last year to praise the very excellent Descriptive Catalogue 
of Seeds issued by Messrs. W. E. Rendle & Co., of Plymouth. We 
have had the one for the present year just sent us. It certainly is the 
best of the kind which has ever come under our notice, and to proprietors 
of gardens, whether large or small, must prove eminently useful. Under 
the head of each Vegetable are enumerated the best varieties, with its 
native country, proper mode of cultivation, &c., combining the most 
improved systems up to the present time; added to which are Lists of 
Flower Seeds, proper modes and hints on sowing, with a very complete 
Calendar of Operations by Mr. Robert Errington, gardener to Sir P. 
Egerton, a sufficient guarantee of its excellence.” 
RENDLE’S PRICE CURRElMT^ 
Opinion of Mr. James Barnes, the well-known Gardener to 
the Right Honourable Lady Rolle, Bicton :— 
“ Dear Sir,—Your Price Current has just come safe to hand, and I 
beg to return my best thanks for the same. It contains a great deal of 
useful information for all classes, more particularly for the Amateur and 
those who cultivate their own Gardens and Allotments.—Yours, &c. 
_“James Barnes.” 
RENDLE*S PRICE CURR ENT. 
Opinion of the Editor of the Southern FloristFeb., 1854. 
“This work or pamphlet, as the title indicates, constitutes a Descrip¬ 
tive Catalogue of Vegetable and Flower Seeds offered by the firm of 
Rendle & Co., of Plymouth ; but while it contains all the useful mat¬ 
ter found in a Catalogue, copious descriptions of the newest and most 
approved Seeds are given, together with amass of sound and useful in¬ 
formation, which cannot but be valuable to the Amateur as well as the 
practical Gardener. It contains an Almanack for the year, a copious 
Calendar of Operations for each month, directions for Rotation, Cropping, 
&c. &c., and is stamped to go post free to any part of the United King¬ 
dom-forming a complete newspaper of over 50 pages of useful matter.”
