WILKS, M.A., writing on December 11, 1918, said :— * Itis with no little pleasure that I am able to write at the request of the President and Council, to tell you that the Lawrence Medal has been awarded to your firm for the excellent quality and great educational value of your frequent exhibits of Summer-sown Vegetables at the Society's Meetings held since war broke out. The ethibits themselves have shown such a high standard of cultivation, and have been so widely influential in increasing the food produc- tion of gardens during the years of the war, by demonstrating what could be done along the lines of this new system of cultivation, that the Council feel that the least they can do, now that the war has been brought to a happy termination, is to place with you this high mark of their high appreciation. As I think you know, the Lawrence Medal represents the highest award of the Society, and it is one which is never given more than once yearly.” EE EE 41, Wellington Published every Friday Street, covet fee?

BASHAM б SONS have decided to distribute stock of their "a seedling apple, St. Cecilia, in autumn, 1919. This is one of the very best dessert f apples that has been offered for many years. The trees are of robust and sturdy | growth, a regular and heavy bearer, and the fruit is of brilliant crimson colour, medium size, and of excellent quality; season, January and February, and a limited number of 4 year, 0/- each, all on paradise. The “ Sa one Chronicle,” February 2, 1918, says:— The new dessert Apple, St. Cecilia, was raised from Cox's Orange Pippin rate quality, keeping longer than Cox’s fruits shown at the R.H.S. Exhibition on January 15 by Messrs. John Basham ons were solid and juicy, without deeply set and somewhat slender. The Бо shows the fruits in their natural size. The variety will prove a valuable addition to late dessert Apples, and a successor to Cox’s Orange Pippin. he “ e аоа Advertiser," Feb. 5, 1919, Xe "m ку (John Basham & Sons). A tty, brilliantly- coloured Apple, just tho right size for a table fr The quality is equal to the January; a very promising novelty, and worthy the attention of all fruit- growers. uo Gi) nr NEWPORT, MON.

JOHN WATERER, SONS&CRISP, L» Beg to inform their numerous customers that they are not holding their large exhibition of Rhododendrons in London this season owing to the difficulties of labour and transport, but they anticipate having one of the finest shows of Rhododendrons and.other flowering shrubs that have been seen in their Nurseries at Bagshot for many years. These will be in their full beauty from now onwards for another three weeks. The Nurseries are easily reached from London by rail direct from Waterloo a to Bagshot station, from which they are half a mile distant, or by motor, i the Nurseries are some 26 miles from Hyde Park Corner on the main road. ] At the Twyford Nurseries, which are situated on the main Bath road 15 miles from Twyford station, we have grand collections of Alpine and Herbaceous plants, Roses, Fruit Trees, and many hundreds of thousands of May flowering Tulips. These will be in their full beauty the coming week. We cordially invite inspection of both Nurseries, and feel confident that visitors will find much to interest them in the many new and beautiful plants that we grow.

By the late 5 y iii глад, Arley C This book is indispensable to all foresters, or those whose work includes the planting of trees. It is absolutely necessary, if such work is to be intelli- gently done, that a com- plete record be kept of the trees planted, the species and varieties, the exact positions in which they are placed, their ик and development. and For this purpose the PLANTER S NOTE BOOK is admirably fitted. The price is so moderate—only 1/-, or 1/2 post free— that the plea of expense cannot possibly be urged. Send for your copy NOW to „Gardeners Chronicle,Ltd. | 41, Wellington St., Strand, W.C. 2. xii.

FERNS AND FERN CULTURE | GARDENERS? CHRONICLE, Ltd., 4l, Wellington St., Strand, W.C2. | By J. BIRKENHEAD. Revised Ьу Е. PARSONS. HIS little work contains all that the Fern-lover needs to know about the raising and cultivation of Ferns. It tells him where the different classes of Ferns are to be found growing wild; the modes of growth of the different species; the sort of treatment each kind of Fern requires; how | to tend the plants in sickness and in health; how to eradicate the pests, both insect and fungous, which threaten their well- being. It is freely illustrated, and all the illustrations serve a definite purpose. The book is excellently printed, on clear, good quality paper; it is well bound in pale green cloth, and this is protected by a second cover of transparent, grease- proof paper. Although so reasonable in price, it is worth almost any money, for it is quite unique. Send 1/3 for a copy, post free, from ! DUTTONS' | N OTED CARN ATIONS. STRONG PLANTS NOW IN spi. POT: in. POTS.

BIRKENHEAD. _ Revised by F. PARSONS. HIS little work contains all that the Fern-lover needs to know about the raising and cultivation of Ferns. It tells him where the different classes of Ferns are to be found growing wild; the modes of growth of the different species; the sort of treatment each kind of Fern requires; how to tend the plants in sickness and in health; how to eradicate the pests, both insect and fungous, which threaten their well- being. It is freely illustrated, and all the illustrations serve a definite purpose. The book is excellently printed, on clear, proof paper. Although so reasonable in price, it is worth almost any money, for it is quite unique. Send 1/3 for a copy, post free, from GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE, Ltd., 41, Wellington St., Strand, W.C.2.

It tells him where the different classes of Ferns are to be found growing wild; the modes of growth of the different species; the sort of treatment each kind of Fern requires; how to tend the plants in sickness and in health; how to eradicate ` {һе pests, both insect and fungous, which threaten their well- being. It is freely illustrated, and all the illustrations serve a definite purpose. The book is excellently printed, on clear, good quality paper; it is well bound in pale green cloth, and this is protected by a second cover of transparent, grease- proof paper. Although so reasonable in price, it is worth almost any money, for it is quite unique.

THE PLANTERS NOTE BOOK. By the late PPN WOODWARD, of Arley Castle, This book is indispensable to all foresters, or those whose work includes the planting of trees. It is absolutely necessary, if such work is to be intelli- gently done, that a com- . | plete record be kept of the trees planted, the species and varieties, the exact positions in which they are placed, and their growth and development. For this purpose the PLANTER'S NOTE BOOK is admirably fitted. The price is so moderate—only 1/-, or 1/2 post free= that the plea of expense cannot possibly be urged.

HIS little work contains all that the Fern-lover needs to know about the raising and cultivation of Ferns. It tells him where the different classes of Ferns are to be found growing wild; the modes of growth of the different species; the sort of treatment each kind of Fern requires; how to tend the plants in sickness and in health; how to eradicate the pests, both insect and fungous, which threaten their well- being. It is freely illustrated, and all the illustrations serve a definite purpose. The book is excellently printed, on clear, good quality paper; it is well bound in pale green cloth, and this is protected by a second cover of transparent, grease- proof paper. Although so аиа in price, it is worth almost any money, for it is quite uniqu Send 1/3 for a copy, post free, from GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE, Ltd., 41, Wellington St., Strand, W.C.2.

HIS little work contains all that the Fern-lover needs to know about the raising and cultivation of Ferns. It tel's him where the different classes of Ferns are to be found growing wild; the modes of growth of the different species; the sort of treatment each kind of Fern requires; how to tend the plants in sickness and in health; how to eradicate the pests, both insect and fungous, which threaten their well- being. It is freely illustrated, and all the illustrations serve a definite purpose. The book is excellently printed, on clear, good quality paper; it is well bound in pale green cloth, and this is protected by a second cover of transparent, grease- proof paper. Although so reasonable in price, it is worth almost any money, for it is quite unique. Send 1/3 for a copy, post free, from GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE, Ltd., 41, Wellington St., Strand, W.C.2. vi.

It is freely illustrated, and all the illustrations serve a definite purpose. The book is excellently printed, on clear, good quality paper; it is well bound in pale green cloth, and this is protected by a second cover of transparent, grease- proof paper.
