I. We prove the growth of our seeds before sending them out, and =| our Experimental Grounds we test — their purity and the relative value of varieties. By.these means »= check the numerous growers whe supply us, and are enabled thereby to discard what is inferior. Our trials of an experimental character are conducted on a very extensive scale, and from time to time we give the result of these experiments, Thus in 1869, we dealt with the Onion and the Beet ; and last year we completed our experiments with Kales, clearing up the confusion which existed amongst the names. We need hardly mention that in these experimental trials we not unfrequently realize the fable of A°sop in the peacocks, which are pushed forth upon the public, proving simply to be jackdaws. Were we disposed to ‘‘tell tales out of school,” we could show that there is even greater scope in this direction for another enterprising seedsman, if he had the courage, to bring himself prominently forward in getting an Act of Parliament, than there was in the case of the ‘‘ Adulteration of Seeds ;” but we fear that the confessional box in the Select Com- mittee Room of St. Stephen’s may have a deterrent effect. - It is a crucible for destroying the cobwebs which envelope malpractices.
II. Owing to the very abundant harvest of most kinds of seeds, we are enabled considerably to reduce our prices.
III. We shall not trouble our customers with the supererogatory statement that we execute our orders promptly and well, as this is the only way by which we can hope to satisfy our numerous friends, and to secure
their good will and recommendation. : (i
IV. Thinking it would be interesting to the numerous readers of our Catalogue to know what has been done in a horticultural point of view onthe Thames Embankment, one of the grandest andertakings of the age welivein, we have prepared a view of what may be fairly called the ‘‘ inner circle” of the ornamental part of the work. See p. 66.
V. From what we have stated in Paragraph I. our readers will be prepared for the announcement that we have added in the present Edition much valuable information, which has been+gathered since our last issue, with the industry of the busy bee, during the sunny hours of a sunny season, and stored up for the delectation of the winter readers of our Cataloguey ~
VI. The Gladioli we present in an entirely new form to our Readers, the result of three consecutive years’
careful collating. If crimsons are required, they can now be found under their own heading ; if scarlets are required, soft as vermilion or brilliant as a sunbeam, they are to be met with at once ; if that host of beautiful combinations, white mottled purple, and purple marbled white, are sought for, the section has simply to be found, and there the colours which first strike the eye, and by which combinations are formed, are got without that jargon which in many cases is nothing better than a number of words strung together and unintelligible even to the cultivator.
VII. Our Novelties and Specialities have as usual had that careful attention which we are wont to give to this transition part of our Catalogue.
VIII. Our Floral Albums (four volumes super-royal) contain above 5000 coloured plates of Bulbous and Tuberous-rooted Plants, Annuals, Perennials, Stove and Greenhouse Plants, Ferns and Ornamental foliage Plants. We keep constantly adding plates of new plants, as these appear in the various works devoted to gardening.
IX. The Albums are kept at our warehouse as books of reference for the use of those of our customers who
=~ ish to refer to them when in London. Ss,
X. Carriage is allowed on orders amounting to 21s. and upwards, to any principal Railway Station in Eng- land and Wales, to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and to any principal Station on the North British, Caledonian and Scottish Central Lines. Also to Dublin and Belfast. To Cork and Waterford, by steamboat from London, or as far as Bristol by railway, ex vowte for Ireland. We prefer the latter, being more expeditious, and unless instructed otherwise, we shall forward vzé Bristol.
XI. Carriage to be deducted at settlement. Formerly our custom was to pay carriage in London ; but we were compelled to relinquish this practice, in consequence of our ‘‘ Carriage Paid” packages not being delivered with the same promptitude as those not prepaid; and, also, on account of continual com- plaints from our customers that they also had to pay carriage before they could get the goods. We mention this as the reason why we have abandoned a practice followed by us for so many years.
‘XII. Orders which are paid in advance will either be sent carriage paid, or a liberal equivalent in goods willbe ~~ added. The latter course will be adopted unless we are otherwise instructed. ’ 7
XIII. No charge is made for the packing or the package, except in the case of Plants, Seed Potatoes, Asparagus, Seakale and Rhubarb. A small charge will be made in these cases for the mat, hamper, etc., and, if returned, half-price will be allowed.
XIV. Fruit and Forest Trees, Soils, Wirework, Plant Cases and Stands, Chapman's ‘‘ Multum-in-Parvo’” Exhi- bitors’ Cut Flower Cases, Barr's Portable Cut Flower and Bouquet Transmission Cases, Garden Engines and Water Barrows, Flower Boxes, Jardinets, and Terra-Cotta, Rustic, China, and Glass goods— on these we do not allow carriage, and the packages are charged.
XV. Five per cent. is allowed on all payments made within one month from date of invoice.
XVI. Post Office Orders to be made payable at King-street Post Office, Covent Garden, W.C. All cheques to be crossed, adding the words ‘‘and Co.” Small amounts may be paid in Postage Stamips.
XVII. Those with whom we have not previously had business transactions, unless introduced by a customer, are
respectfully requested to send with their order a remittance or a London reference.
FOREIGN AND COLONIAL NOTICES.
XVIII. To insure attention, orders must be accompanied with a remittance, a draft or an ‘‘ order to pay” on a London agent. The remittance must be sufficient to cover the expense of cases, and also of carriage, as when the freight is not paid in advance a heavy percentage is added to it by the Peninsular and Oriental Company and their agents.
XIX. We pay postage on all ‘‘ PACKETS” of Flower Seeds sent to India and the Colonies (Jvoucded the present restriction recently imposed by the Postal Authorities on merchandise at sample post rates be rescinded, and it is expected that the outside pressure which ts now being applied will be found too great for the Post- master to retain his present antagonistic attitude to this great commercial and domestic convenience). When sent in Waterproof bags these are charged for.
XX. A few pounds’ weight of Vegetable Seeds, if they can be sent by sample post, will go more cheaply and expeditiously than by Overland Mail, thus avoiding Custom-house intervention and the employment of forwarding agents. In such cases the remittance should leave a margin to cover postage and the cost of Waterproof bags. ;
XXI. Our shipments of Plants to India have been very successful, great care being taken by us in selecting the plants and properly packing them. ‘ a id
XXII. Our successful shipments of seeds to India have led to several of the Agricultural and Horticultural Societies there intrusting us with the execution of orders for distribution amongst their members. This year the Agricultural and Horticultural Society of India has placed in our hands the large order which for many years past they have been in the habit of sending to Paris,

ASTER BISMARCK; the policy of this great man in reference to France may be questioned, but his great abilities are beyond doubt, and it is evident that our Quedlinburg grower must have been impressed with this latter view of the great statesman, when he named his new Aster and sketched its character thus: ‘‘ of sterling merit, flowers representing the greatest perfection of the pzeony class in their fulness and form, the colours being remarkable for a rich shining satiny glaze, while the plant possesses the habit of the most perfect Dwarf Bouquet

In the whole range of foliage plants there is nothing to equal this in beauty and effect for flower-beds, but especially for ribbons and long lines; the leaves rich crimson, upright and slightly arched, of uniform growth ; when lit up by the sun’s rays their refulgent, rich, luminous beauty can only be realized when seen in position. We shall not readily forget the startling impression made upon one of our most advanced horticulturists on first seeing this plant used on a large scale. We would inculcate caution in purchasing this seed indiscriminately, we haying in our Experimental Grounds tested every beet offered for decorative purposes ; and while we have found the Crimson-leaved Beet sold under a variety of names, we have found also beets described as fit for flower-garden decoration perfectly worthless for the purpose, their leaves only becoming crimson when the cold weather approached, while our New Crimson-leayed Beet, from the time it is six inches high, is as rich in hue as Armaranthus Melancholicus, and far more beautiful than Perilla, per 0z., 25. 6d., 36 BEET, CHILIAN, for mixed flower and shrubbery borders and wild gardens thisisa yery striking object 37 BOUGANVILLEA SPECTABILIS, for an intermediate house this is an exquisite plant, and its rich rose- purple bracts or leaves are matchless in the arrangement of floral decorations for the dinner-table... @® CALCEOLARIA, BARR'S INTERNATIONAL PRIZE VARIETIES, unrivalled in beauty, habit, and SIZ Of MOWER e 7 RI Tea Se Be etnan ats kan totags sence eenene ma teen on noon tee aET TY Cao E oan 2s. 6d. and 39 CALCEOLARIA, THOMPSON'S DALKEITH PARK, these are truly beautiful..............ccccecscseseeeeeereues 40 CALENDULA OFFICINALIS PLENISSIMA OCULATA, a beautiful variety of the old pot Marigold, 6d. & 41 CALENDULA OFFICINALIS LE PROUST, flowers charming rose-nankeen edged brown, continuously in flower.

54 CENTAUREA CLEMENTE], a novelty of the present year, was raised in the South of France, and intro- duced from there by the late Mr. John Gould Veitch, as a plant of first excellence for the flower garden, and it is even suggested that it will probably supersede Centaurea Candidissima. But hear what the raiser says: ‘‘ This magnificent plant resembles Centaurea Candidissima (ragusina), but much finer in all its proportions, the leaves being deeply cut in lobes, and these again elegantly fringed. To the gracefulness and beauty of the plant is added the dense whiteness of the young leaves which retain their rich silvery appearance even when fully developed.” Add to this high character the fact that the introducer into this country was one of our most eminent nurserymen, who would not be likely in a commercial speculation of this sort to make a mistake by over-esti- mating the usefulness of a plant which would be more or less associated with his name, 14 a8

LOBELIA. Wo plant in the flower garden is more useful than the blue Lobelia speciosa, or required Jor so great avariety of purposes. As an edging it is unsurpassed ; for the front lines in ribbons no plant is more effective; intermingled in small beds with the Variegated Alyssum or Cerastium, and even among Centaureas, the effect ts very chaste and beautiful. Seeing the importance therefore attached to this plant, it is very desirable to have seed from a pure and a good stock. Our Lobelia speciosa superba zs by far the finest typical form. The colour is rich and bright, and the seed has been collected mostly SJrom cutting plants, the few seedlings amongst them having been very carefully selected. It is therefore offered with great confidence.

10 [Barr and Sugden, 1871. ASTERS.,
In our Experimental Grounds we grew a complete collection of the Asters offered by continental growers, and those enumerated are what we selected as the most desirable for English gardens. or large beds Pzeony Perfection, Hamburgh Prize Pzeony Perfection, Victoria, Cockade, and Improved Hedgehog, are the most desirable. For medium sized beds, ribbons, etc., Dwarf Chrysanthemum, Dwarf Victoria, and Schiller Dwarf Pyramidal are the finest, being dwarf, compact, and of even growth, bearing their flowers conspicuously. To cut for bouquets, Imbrique Pompon, and Dwarf Bouquet Elegantissima, are the best adapted, their flowers ranging from the size of a florin to that of a five shilling piece, perfect models in shape, and exquisite in colour. They are no less effective in beds and borders.
et Truffaut's New French Pzony-flowered Perfection Aster, height 1} ft. This is a plant of fine habit with large flowers, remarkably handsome in colour and form, and perhaps more extensively cultivated than any other of the genus.

These are universal favourites, and of considerable value in the flower garden. The dwarf varieties are very effective in beds and ribbons, the taller growing kinds are exceedingly decorative in mixed flower and shrubbery borders, and to cut for bouquets and cases they are invaluable. On light soils, where plants get burnt up in summer, we recommend that these be sown in autumn. So treated they will bloom throughout the whole summer in spite of the severest drought, and cut flowers may be gathered freely from them the whole of the season.

PENTSTEMON.
The whole race of Pentstemons are exceedingly decorative, the taller hinds in mixed flower and shrubbery borders are strikingly effective, while the dwarf English hybrids with their large flowers, rich colours, and fine spikes of

The Petunia in the flower garden, is one of the most effective plants, blooming profusely till far on in the autumn. When planted in large beds it should be trained over a frame-work of boughs; and in the flower borders, against twiggy faggots, But perhaps the plant is most telling in effect when trained against a rustic fence, on espaliers, or against a wall. In rustic baskets on the lawn, for rock-work, or elevated situations, where plants are required to droop over, as in the fissures of rock formations, this plant is invaluable.

These seeds have been saved from one of the finest collections in Europe, and will yield about 80 per cent. of splendid double flowers, surpassing in floral beauty, rich and brilliant colours, those sold by German, French, or Belgian cultivators.
Carnations and Picotees are prized for their delicious fragrance and exquisite beauty ; as cut flowers, they are indispensable for furnishing flower-baskets and drawing-room bouquets, and for this pur- pose a reserve piece of ground should be devoted to their cultivation, and as plants from seed bloom
more profusely than from cuttings, we recommend the following collections saved from the classes noted, but there is no reliance upon the specified colours being reproduced.

QUCUMIS AND OUCURBITA, Nat. Ord. Cwreurbita'cee.
PICTURESQUE, CURIOUS, INTERESTING, AND BEAUTIFUL, ARE THE ORNAMENTAL GOURDS AND CUCUMBERS OF OUR INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION FIRST PRIZE CONTINENTAL COLLECTION.
The Fruit Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society in the autumn of 1868 also awarded to us a First class certificate for our collection of Ornamental Gourds grown at our Experimental Grounds, front seed sown in open ground, and simply thinned out, thus proving that the average general temperature of our English summers @s setfficient to mature these.
The varieties in this collection have been selected either for the highly ornamental character of their foliage, the singularity or exquisite symmetry of their fruit, or forthe richness, variety, and peculiarity of their colouring ; some are perfect monsters in size and oddity of shape, while others are miniatures of most elegant formation. The colours range from white to crimson, orange and scarlet, blending and harmonizing with olive green, bronze, and the most beautiful bright polishec glossy green; these again are striped, spotted, dappled, or variegated in the most extraordinary manner ; others, being self-coloured, are distinct and beautiful. The style of growth is as diversified as the size of the fruit ; some are of gigantic growth, others are slender and delicate, and these latterare invaluable for covering arches, verandahs, trellis-work, or for the fronts of villas and cottages, where trained round the windows they are exceedingly ornamental, and in autumn their rich and parti-coloured fruits are remarkably picturesque. The strong growers are invaluable for training to trees over summer retreats, and arbours, or trailing on large rockeries and rooteries, sloping banks, by the margins of ponds, woodland walks, and amidst ruins. On extensive lawns and park scenery, and in orchards, etc., where it is desirable to diversify the scenic effect without obstructing the distant prospect, large beds of these form massive mounds of green, which in the distance are very pleasing to the eye.
The fruits when ripe make the most splendid and interesting hall and drawing-room autumnal and winter ornaments, and recently they have been in demand for church decoration, where a Harvest Home is held in con- nection with All Saints’ Festival.
{5~ We can supply, to any one desirous of cultivating a collection of these, 500 varieties, most of which have been described in previous editions of our Catalogue.
THE PRIZE GIANT OR LARGE-FRUITED GOURDS.
These, in addition to being highly ornamental, are in demand for cattle food, the seed planted eatly in May where intended to grow.

ORNAMENTAL GRASSES,
For Winter Bouquets, Dinner-Table Decorations, Edgings, Ribbons, Centres of Beds, Sub-tropicai Gardens, Islands, Select Plantations, Shrubberies, the Sides of Rivulets, Ravines, Lakes, etc.
It is scarcely possible to over-estimate the decorative qualities of Ornamental Grasses for the flower-borders and shrubberies; some of them are curious-looking plants, others exceedingly graceful ; some are neat and compact, while others are stately and majestic.
In thetr cultivation the plants should be so thinned out as to allow for individual development.
All the grasses may be gathered and dried for winter decoration ; but as some are better adapted for that purpose than others, we recommend the collection we offer for “‘ Winter Bouquets.”
The varieties enumerated have been flowered in our Experimental Grounds, and are those which we have selected as most desirable for the purposes above-named.
In some establishments a special piece of ground is devoted to Ornamental Grasses, and we have known in such places these GRASS GARDENS to bea source of greater interest to visitors than the flower garden with all its charms.
509 Collections suitable for Flower Border Decoration, 30 varicties, 7/6; 20 ditto, 5/6; 15 ditto, 3/6;

All the grasses flower the first season, and most of them continue for two or more years. They may either be sown where intended to bloom, or in pots, and transplanted when about two inches high.
First SECTION.—Most of this section are useful for bouquets, and all are suitable for the flower border. The price of the following is 3¢. per packet, except those marked *, which are 6d. :—

CAN’NA, Nat. Ord. Jlaranta'cee. Highly ornamental half-hardy perennials.
Scientific gardening has reached an epoch when sub-tropical or Leaf Gardens tnx any part of the three kingdoms are no longer a chimera. It is simply a question of the right place for the plants, and the right plants tor the place, and the treatinent necessary to ensure success. In this styleof gardening, the Canna must neces- sarily take the prominent position: possessing, as tt does, picturesque foliage, varied both in form and colour, with a chasteness yet boldness of outline peculiar to itself, and which renders it at once pleasing to the most fastidious, and an equally agreeable associate with either shrubs or flowers.
Although we have alluded only to the foliage of these plants, the flowers are by no means to be despised ; indeed, some of them are exquisitely beautiful,

A stock of these is easily secured. Sow the séed early in spring, in a strong moist heat, and they will be decorative the first season ; or sow them later, and they will make nice ‘rhizomes for another year.

DIAN'THUS, Nat. Ord. Curyophylla’cee. Splendid hardy annuals, etc.
D. Sinensis (Chinese or Indian Pink, as it is sometimes called) ranks foremost in bedding plants from seed. Raised early in spring, potted on and planted out, it is in bloom in Fune, and will continue covered with flowers till late in autumn, if a little attention ts paid to it.

To place him in this position we have had seed collected from the very best named kinds, and also purchased the stock of seeds from such men as Mr. George, etc., who have by far the most advanced types of this useful and now universally cultivated plant. Plants raised from seed sown early in spring are decorative the same season.

PELARGONIUM (Geranium), Nat. Ord. Gerania’cew. Greenhouse plants. For the decoration of the greenhouse, no plant is more popular than this, and when well grown its effect is matchless. Atour summer flower shows it is always a conspicuous object; the large bold flowers of the English, the beautiful spotting of the French, and the elegant and delicate colours of the fancy, make this pre-eminently
the ladies’ flower. The seeds we offer have been saved from first class show varieties, and will yield flowers of the most advanced types. The raising of seedlings is very simple.

PENTSTE’MON, Nat. Ord. Scrophularia’cew. Splendid hardy perennials.
Tor brilliant effect and continuous blooming in the flower garden, and asa cut flower for vases it is hardly possible to over-estimate the English hybrid Pentstemons. The flowers are large, the markings beautiful, and the colours rich and varied, while the habit of the plant is good and its culture simple. Of late years bedding plants have somewhat pushed this plant into the background, but the splendid hybrids exhibited before the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society, and for which Mr. Porter received certificates, have quite revived the interest in this plant. The seeds we offer were from the exhibition varicties, which had certificates, and we recommend them with the greatest confidence. The species enumerated by name are valuable border plants.

PRIM’ULA SINEN’SIS, Nat. Ord. Primula’cee. Charming greenhouse perennials.
For winter decoration Primulas are amongst the most important of greenhouse plants, and it ts of the first moment that the seed should be from the finest types of flowers. It is well known that several of the growers for Covent Garden Market are noted for their Primulas, the flowers being large, rich in colour, and of great substance, while the habit of the plant is robust and the flowers standing well above the foliage. It is from this style of plant the seed we offer has been saved, and ut ts unsurpassed. We mention this simply on account of the pretensions put forth by some houses, intended to make believe that they and they only possessed thts Covent Garden quality of Primula, ‘having bought the entire stock,” they say. We had of this fine strain as much as we wanted, and then, in addition to those who say they bought the ‘‘ entire stock,” therewas plenty left for others who chose to pay its high price.

The following embrace the most picturesque, grotesque, and beantiful of this highly ornamental and elegant genus of plants for sub-tropical effect in summer, and conservatory decoration throughout the year. They are mostly of rapid growth, seedling plants soon becoming effective and ornamental. Pyracanthum is a perfect gem ; Marginatum conspicuous for its white foliage ; Robustum for its massive brown tinted leaves; Laciniatum and Reclinatum for their exceedingly elegantly divided foliage; Glaucophyllum for its Oleander-like habit and bluish- green leaves ; Warscewiczioides for majesty of form is unquestionably the grandest of the Solanems. In this manner the striking characteristics of each might be individually described,

VIOLA (Heartsease or Pansy), Nat. Ord. Viola’cew. . Hardy perennials.
In the spring flower garden the Pansy (viola tricolor) is chief, blooming continuously, and producing a match- less effect in designs, beds, and ribbons. From seed the colours cannot be implicitly depended upon ; they should, therefore, be flowered before arranging the planting out. Seed sownin spring, flowers during the summer ; sown in summer, flowers in autumn. With a little attention, the Paxsy can be made a charming plant for summer decoration. The Viola cornuta and lutea varieties are very important subjects for effective gardening. Viola odorata varieties are prized for their fragrance.

ORNAMENTAL CLIMBERS AND TWINERS.
This is an important section of our Catalogue, and fully merits the prominent position assigned to it, as no glass erection, whether conservatory, greenhouse, or stove, can be considered furnished unless the walls, pillars, etc., are covered with Climbers. In the adornment also of the flower garden, the hardier kinds are invaluable for covering arbours, verandahs, trellises, rustic fences, and elegant chain festoons such as now grace the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardens at South Kensington.

And what is more charming than to see the Blye Passion Ilower (P. cerulea) smothering a villa with its rich green faliage and sky-blue flowers, followed in autumn with a profusion of golden fruit.

The varieties of T. Lobbianum are exceedingly elegant and profuse howering, and are remarkable for their rich diversified colours and finely-formed flowers. They are equally suitable for conservatory decoration, filling flower beds, covering trellises, chains, pillars, walls, etc. The seed from the self colours usually comes true, but parti-coloured varieties sport very much. T. Canariense, the Canury Creeper, with its beautifully fringed rich yellow flowers and pretty foliage, is universally known and admired as a fine climber. T. Farattit, a fine green- house plant. T. pentaphyllum is in the way of Farattit, but hardy, succeeding out of doors in warm situations and in light soils. Spectosum is a charming species.

BARR SUGDENS COLLECTIONS OF VEGETABLE SEEDS.
Carriage is allowed upon all orders for Vegetable Seeds amounting to 21s. and upwards. See pn, 2.
These assortments are made up for the convenience of Amateurs, and consist of selections from the different sections of the Catalogue, suited to gardens of various sizes ; they contain the most approved varieties, and such as are best adapted to secure a succession of vegetables from January to December. However, as the wants of Samilies are so varied, it may be more advantageous in most cases to order from the body of the Catalogue, Using the Order Sheet which accompanies the Catalogue for this year. There the names are printed in consecutive order as they appear in the Catalogue, so that it is only necessary to write in figures the quantity required opposite the
name, thus :— Peas. | Qt. Pt. 12 Pom
Tom Thumb ...... .. — and from the name of the article to the quantity with the pen draw a line as represented by the black line on Specimen of ‘Order Sheet,” as above. In this way making out a general order involves very little trouble, while wt greatly facilitates the correct and prompt execution of the order.
The Seeds are all of the very best quality, and Cultural Directions are printed on every Packet.

BORECOLE OR KALE.
On all hands it ts asserted and accepted as a fact that the varieties of the Brassica family are liable to great variations, and on this account the subject is looked upon by Horticulturists as one of the most difficult they have to deal with; and no doubt this ts perfectly correct in the case of Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Cabbage. This is made a pretext, however, for the confusion that exists amongst the names of Kales. After several years’ careful somparative tests—if we are to judge from the extreme purity of the stocks procured from a great variety of sources, and from which we conducted our experiments—we are of opinion that either great care is exercised by the growers in keeping the Kales pure, or the typical sorts are not liable to vary, as we could see no deviation in our trials from the normal or typical forms of the plants } but there was any amount of variation in names applied to the Kales.

The above Kales represent those we consider desirable for culinary purposes ; the coarser-growing kinds will be found enumerated under the head of Agricultural Seeds.
In clearing up the confusion which we found to exist in the names of this section of the Brassica family, we found that the following (which we give in black letter) had no distinct Kales to represent them, one or other of the Kales above described being supplied for them, and the names of these latter we give in italics :—
For Delaware, Yerusalem and Buda. For Siberian, Egyptian. For Lapland, Zgvptian, Buda, and Dwarf Purple Curled. For Acme, Yerusalem. For Victoria Marrow, Couve Tronchuda. For Miller’s Winter, Egyptian. For Camberwell, Ragged Fack. For Prussian, Yerusalem.
Asparagus Kale demands a special notice for ttself. Under this name many seedsmen sell Couve Tronchuda ; which ts the Portugal or Braganza Cabbage, exceedingly delicatein flavour, and should be grown universally ; but we object to the name ‘‘ Asparagus” being attached to tt ; the leaves are more like blanched sea-kale. See our remarks, page 57.. Buda Kale is also sold under this name, and not inappropriately so; in the spring it throws up an immense quantity of shoots, which may be blanched and served as asparagus. Jerusalem is likewise sold under this name, and we think it ts the plant to which the name was originally attached. Under this name-is also sold Chou de Milan. Even Ragged Fack ts made to do duty for it, as also Egyptian. .
Our object in making this statement ts to enable our customers to select their own Asparagus Kale.

The colours range from the purest white to the richest purple-crimson, which, when lit up by the winter sun are truly splendid. As soon as large enough, transplant from the seed bed into poor soil and an open situation a sufficient number of plants to select from. Late in autumn when the colours are sufficiently developed, select out those fit for the flower garden, and arrange them according to taste, breaking off the large leaves and making a hole in the soil sufficiently deep to secure the under leaves resting

A report of these will be Sound in the ““ Gardeners Chronicle’ and the‘ Fournal of Horticulture.” In the ‘‘ Gardeners Weekly Magazine,” in con- nection with the report, will be found illustrations of the different types of Onions, from specimens supplied by us, and grown at our Experimental Grounds.
Our Collection of Onions represented the varieties cultivated in this country, and also in Germany, France, Holland, and Portugal (the seed from Portugal being received from the British Consulate at Oporto); our object being to ascertain if the Onion of the Grocers was peculiar to Portugal, or had a representative in this country. From a very careful examination we arrived at the conclusion that the Onion of the Grocers is fairly represented, both as regards shape, size, and produce, in our brown-skinned varieties of Globe, fames' Keeping, and Pear-Shaped, a preponderance of the Pear Shaped being amongst those grown by us from the Oporto seed. We also found that the Madeira varieties of Onion produced with us under ordinary treatment much larger bulbs than the Oporto Onion, thus proving that those tne imported Onions of the Grocers are the result of a favourable climate, combined with the special attention which is given to the cultivation of this bulb in Portugal. Mr. Standish of Ascot by means of superior cultivation produced fr ‘om the Oporto seed as fine Onions as any imported.

No sooner are the plants put out than they begin to yield large numbers of small elegant oval-formed fruits, which are ready to cook when the size of a turkey's egg. The flesh is thick and the flavour delicious. Those who wish to grow marrows under glass will find this far superior to any other marrow, and for this purpose we have selected the very smallest fruits, and offer the seed as under, remarking that the larger sizes set as freely and quickly as the smaller, but the smaller fruits yield

TEE THAMES EMBANKMENT.
Ir the present generation of the inhabitants of London had done nothing for posterity save the Thames Embank- ment, it might well be said of them, in good works they had far excelled the generations of the past. But this mighty undertaking is only one of many, and it is the one which the next generation will enjoy even more than the present ; but to the present it is a ‘‘ thing of beauty and a joy for ever.”
Thousands of our readers may not be privileged to see this wonderful undertaking, and as it will no doubt be interesting to many of them who are familiar only with views of the Embankment as seen from the Thames, we present them with an illustration of what may not inaptly be called the ‘‘inner circle” of the Thames Embankment. On each side of the roadway—perhaps the grandest carriage-drive in Europe—are planted rows of occidental planes, which in a few years will form a perfectly shady walk, extending from Westminster Bridge to Blackfriars. Our illustration gives the ornamental ground extending from Charing Cross Railway Station to Waterloo Bridge, designed by Alexander M ‘Kenzie, Esq., Landscape Gardener, Alexandra Park, Muswell Hill; executed by Mr. Joseph F. Meston, the well-known horticultural contractor, and clothed with a beautiful green sward, the produce of our mixture of grasses specially made for ornamental parks in large towns. The seed was sown on the 25th August, and within three weeks the ground was covered with a beautiful verdure ; and when officially inspected, within three months from the day of sowing, the combination of grasses had formed so close and even a sward, that it was supposed that Mr. Meston had ¢w7/ed the ground, thus demonstrating that the suc- cessful laying down of lawns is dependent upon the suitability of the varieties of grasses used for the purpose, and it is of the first importance to managers of public parks, and to gentlemen interested in such undertakings, to look well to this.
Even on the Thames Embankment an illustration may be seen of the necessity for this. While the groundwork was progressing, to ascertain the condition of the soil, a small portion of the land was sown down with the ordinary mixture usually sold as ‘‘ fine lawn grass seed.’" Immediately the damp days of November set in, a large number of the grasses in this trial portion died off, while up to the date we are now writing (31st December), not one blade of the produce of the speczal mixture we supplied has succumbed.
It may be interesting to our readers if we describe the illustration of this part of the ground. The Charing Cross Station of the Metropolitan Underground Railway appears on the lower left-hand side of the engraving, and the word ‘‘Open” represents the air-shafts of the line. The white portions are the walks, whieh are asphalted and margined with Irish ivies pegged down in imitation of the beautiful edgings so much admired in the public squares and open spaces of Paris. The circle in the centre represents the fountain, surrounding which are beds cut out of the grass, while a fringe of shrubs surmounts more or less the whole of the ornamental grounds on elevated banks, amongst which are planted deciduous trees to shut out the buildings behind. There is, perhaps, no part of London which will be fraught with so much interest as ‘the part we have illustrated. The shaded portion represents where our grass-secd was sown.
Would that Sir Christopher Wren and John Martin could be recalled to life, to witness the realization of their glorious schemes for embanking and beautifying the banks of the Thames, the purified waters sweeping along within their granite boundaries, fringed by noble trees and the banks covered by a verdure as beautiful as the grownds of the Bishop's Palace at Fulham, and that solely by the judicious admixture of the grasses used. What formerly was a dreary expanse of mud is now an emerald set in granite, whither the inhabitants of this great Metropolis, ‘‘in populous city pent,” will eagerly hurry to the banks of the Thames,
“‘ their very hearts athirst To gaze at Nature in her green array.”

MEAS ZCE,
The following is substance of the paper read by Dr. Masters at the Royal Horticultural Society's General Meeting on the 7th of December, 1870, in illustration of the remarkable collection of Maize exhibited by the Rev. T. C. Brthaut, of Guernsey, Her Majesty's Commissioner at the Paris Exhibition of 1867, to report on the present state of Fruit Culture on the Continent. The report of the paper on Maize is given in detail in the “Gardeners Chronicle," December toth, 1870.
Barr and Sugden, 1871.] 67
“The collection of Maize exhibited has been formed from various sources, but mainly from a selection from the splendid varieties shown in the American section at the Paris Exhibition of 1867. ; ee
“ An experience of three very dissimilar seasons has been gained since 1867. A certain number of varieties has been discarded, either as too small, too coarse, or as ripening at too late a period of the year to make them generally serviceable. It has been sought to popularize the manner of eating Maize so common in the States of America, and in other regions of the world (including even Southern Europe), as ‘‘green corn,” 7,¢., in a semi- ripened condition, when the grains had acquired the consistency and size of good Marrowfat Peas, reproducing in autumn the flavours of the early Pea and of the Asparagus. For this the ordinary yellow Maize is not suited. But the collection exhibited claims not only to be the most complete which has probably ever been presented in Europe, but it also shows varieties which greatly excel the Maize known in this country and in France in size and in flavour, while they still fulfil the special conditions required in earliness, More than this, these ears are grown from seeds acclimated by three varied seasons in the Channel Islands. ¢ ; : i
“ Culture.—The seeds should be sown in common raisin-boxes during April—early in the month in the south, and later in the north of England. These boxes should be placed in a cool vinery, orchard-house, or pit, and the plants hardened off before planting out. This is best done in May, earlier or later according to the season or locality. Last spring, Mr. Dancer, of Chiswick, sowed a quantity of Maize in the open ground in March. It was cut down by the frost, but sprang up from the roots, and yielded a heavy crop, which he showed before the Fruit Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society last autumn. ;
‘‘When the plants are several feet high, secure them against high winds by stout stakes at intervals, and thin cords stretched between them, by which the rows are easily supported.
“There are certain kinds of Maize better adapted for green fodder than others, being hardy and rapid in increase, and at the same time abounding in saccharine juices, which animals will devour greedily. Even the stalks when hard can be utilized by slicing them, so that there is really no waste.”’

CASE A, CASE B.
It would be impossible to over-estimate the importance and usefulness of these frames to amateurs and ladies fond of gardening, whose glass accommodation is limited. Every amateur knows how difficult it is to raise delicate and hard seeds, and to strike a supply of cuttings for the flower garden, if he does not possess a suitable hot-house. To meet this want, heated cases have from time to time been introduced. The Waltonian, for instance, was too complicated ; Miss Mallings’ was too troublesome. Consequently they were soon discarded,
In the present instance we have made simplicity the characteristic feature of our case. It is manufactured of galvanized iron, japanned green, and placed ona stand. ‘There is a water tank, a hot-air chamber, and a lamp, but none of these are observable when the case is at work. The lamp simply requires trimming night and morning, and replenishing with oil ; and to give an idea of the value we put upon these cases ourselves, we test the growth of nearly all our seeds in them, although we have a forcing-house specially for that purpose ; but we find the cases do the work far better. At present we have three of these in constant use at our warehouse, testing the growing qualities of seeds we are about to send out. Calceolaria and Primula—two exceedingly delicate seeds— we raise freely ; while Acacia and Canna—two of the hardest seeds to get up—germinate freely in the case ; and as regards attention, a boy attends to the lamps night and morning. ‘These cases have been in operation since their introduction in the spring of 1869, and we have never discovered any disagreeable smell from the lamps, as we make a point of burning the best Colza oil, and the deposit over the lamp is so trifling, that it simply requires to be removed once a week or so with a duster. Those who have a greenhouse will find this a good place for the case, where it will answer all the purposes of a forcing-house, and for those who have not, the sitting-roomror any spare room will do. _ Invalids will find it a source of untiring interest if they love gardening.
The Illustration A represents the case best suited for raising seeds and striking cuttings; Bis the style of » case, from its greater depth, best adapted for keeping plants in during winter. Seeds may also be raised in tt and cuttings struck, but not so successfully as in the more shallow case A. They are manufactured in three 3izes, and the illustrations represent the largest and the smallest. They can be packed to travel to any part of the country safely. In conclusion, we may just mention that the leading gardening papers have spoken most favour- ably of them. Space forbids our quoting their remarks, and we may also add that they have had the approval of some of our best horticulturists, so that in offering these cases we feel we are advancing the science of horticulture,

FRENCH GLADIOLI, VARIETIES OF GANDAVENSIS.
The descriptions attached to flowers have frequently formed the subject of humorous criticisms, and not unjustly so, as it frequently happens, in describing a ney garden variety, that the introducer descends to such minutice that the general effect of the flower is lost in the multitude of words. Our French friends even surpass us in this respect, the genius of their language and the temperament of the nation leading to very florid and detailed descriptions, which when translated into our more prosaic English—and this being done without the flower having been seen by the translator—results frequently in a jargon of words which only go to swell out a catalogue, but convey no accurate impression of the effect of the flower in combinations. In respect to Gladioli this has been peculiarly so, and has tended greatly toa restricted sale of a class of flowers, which in the flower garden produces an exceedingly fine effect; and to cut for the furnishing of vases is invaluable. By a succession of plantings from March to the end of June, a continuous supply of flowers for indoor decoration can be had from the beginning of August till the end of December. (For fuller details on this point, see our Treatise on Gladioli, p, 27 of Autumn
talogue, 1870. ‘ ‘ aes ” i id of foe Oe descriptions affixed to the Gladioli, we formed a private collection in 1868, so that for three seasons we have devoted special attention to a classification of the colours that strike the eye on first seeing the flower ; so that the amateur can, by glancing over our Catalogue, have the particular shades he is desirous of placing in combinations. This is the first,attempt of the sort which has yet been made to classify this flower, and we do not expect it is quite perfect or the form’in which we may continue to publish our list of Gladioli, but it is a step in the right direction, and we have no doubt will be very acceptable to many of our readers. t ag
In the frst Division we have given the deeper shades of Red; in the second, the brighter and the livelier shades of Red ; in the ¢hzrd, the lighter Reds; in the fourth, the Whites tinted rose and mottled ; in the fifth, Purple, Puce, Lilac, Carmine, Purple mottled, and Pure White mottled ; in the sexth, those which claim to be Yellow, but, like the Yellow Hyacinth, they require to be grown beside a white flower for the yellow to be appreciated.
- We have secured a very fair supply of Gladioli in the varieties enumerated, but by no means a sufficient number to carry us through the season. This refers more especially to the low-priced roots. Orders will therefore be executed in strict rotation, and when our supply becomes exhausted we must ask the indulgence of our customers. % zo let us hold their orders over till the planting season, which is any time between the beginning of April and the middle of May, according to locality and soil. Long op that time we have reason to believe the Franco-Prussian
~
war will have been brought to a close, at least so far asParis ts concerned, and it ts in the environs of Paris and within the Prussian lines that the Gladioli are. It will be gratifying to many of our readers to know that, within the last few days, we had intimation that Mr. Souchet, the great raiser and cultivator of Gladioli, ts alive, and that his Gladioli are all safely stored, ready for dispatch immediately railway communication ts open, 4
The present arrangement and prices supersede all os Bia quotations and arrangements. :
The sectional arrangements in previous editions ile the F: ranco-Prussian war lasts are null, owing to the limited stock of bulbs which we hold of the cheaper kinds ; but immediately communication is opened with Paris, and supplies can be got from there, we shall be very happy to give our customers the liberal advantages offered in previous arrangements.

ORNAMENTAL PRIZE ZEA, MAIZE, ORINDIAN CORN... Our splendid ornamental collection of Maize was awarded the first prize at the International Exhibition of the. Royal Horticultural Society, South Kensington. a
The Zea in all stages of its growth is an effective sub-tropical plant, but pre-eminently so tn autumn, when wt. has attained the height of from 5 to 10 feet. Its long graceful delicate green leaves, rich brown elegant tasselled . crown, and majestic growth admirably adapts it for massive beds on'the lawn, sub-tropical leaf gardens, shrubberies, select plantations, sides of lakes, on islands, etc. The new variegated Zea, grown in pots for the conservatory or table decoration, is as beautiful as the finest of striped foliage stove plants, and for furnishing beds it ts unsur- passed. The majestic Zea Cuzko attains a height of from 15 to 20 feet. Caragua ts less robust in growth but more graceful, while Gracillima ts the Liliput of the Maize family.

If planted in succession, commencing ist January, and continuing till rst June, a supply of cut flowers may be had from May to November. They should be started in bottom-heat, in succession, from January to May, to secure bloom from August to December. Three or more roots are generally grown in a pot. : TREATMENT, by the growers for Covent Garden.—Pot singly in 5 or 6-inch pots, and plunge in tan or any other gentle bottom-heat, and attend to with water till the flower-buds appear, then remove to a cool house.

BARR’S LONDON-MADE ECONOMIC GARDEN SYRINGE.
NFI For superiority of action, strength, GARDEN SYRINGE. and finish, these first quality Syringes are without exception the best in the market. The bore of the barrel is perfectly true, which makes the action of the piston very easy. The packing is finished in a very ! superior manner, and this secures the full CARDEN SYRINGE. complement of water being drawn into 3 the barrel, while the stuffing-box prevents its escape at the handle, and the correct boring of the rose ensures a perfectly even discharge. Thus, with these Syringes the maximum of work can be accom- plished with the minimum of manual labour. All the Syringes can be fitted with the Angle-joint, as shown in No. 1, so that even a lady, in syringing her fern- case or miniature conservatory, can enjoy the full advantages of this mode of wash-
Hes ing the plants from beneath, or in any FERN CASE SYRINCE. other way which may be required, not in a straight line. Sor Suction Pumps, see

McDOUGALL’S PHOSPHATIC MANURE, prepared by those eminent chemists with great care for plants in conser-
vatories, greenhouses, stoves, flower beds and borders, and for vine and peach-borders, vines in pots, orchard-house plants.
and kitchen-garden crops. It induces early maturity, and a free, vigorous growth, producing more richly-coloured and
perfectly-formed flowers, larger, better-coloured, and finer flavoured fruits, and superior vegetables, than can be had b
using farm-yard manure only, liquid manure, or guano, ‘The Phosphatic Manure possesses the stimulating properties of the
finest Peruvian Guano, with a large proportion of soluble phosphates which furnish a supply of food till the crops are matured ; it does not leave the soil 1mpoverisbed, which is frequently the case when stimulating compounds only are used but it increases the fertility of the soil. Messrs. John Standish & Co., Royal Nurseries, Ascot, have extensiyely used this manure, and say :—‘‘ The Phosphatic Manure seems to suit everything. We put 2 lbs. to a barrow-load of potting soil, and it is wonderful how the plants root into it and flourish.’ Sample canisters, 1s. and 2a, 6d.; 141b. bag, 5s. 6d.; 4 ewt. do. 10s.; 4 ewt, do., 183.; 1 ewt. do., 35s. We also supply an excellent Phosphatic Manure, by the same eminent chemists for
agricultural purposes, and which can be applied to all kinds of green crops, wheat, grass, etc., per 14 cwt, bag, 268., or 188
per ewt. Considerable advantage is given if purchased by the ton. Terms on application, 4 LAWSON’S PHOSPHO GUANO.—Of this manure Professor Liebig speaks as follows :—“ IT can say with conviction that
I never had in hand a better sort of artificial manure, far superior in its quality, and certainly also in its efficacy, to the best
Peruvian Guano.” In canisters, 1s. and 2s. 6d. each. es FOWLER’S ECONOMIC GARDEN MANURE,—The effectiveness and: permanence of its actionis greater than Guano

No. 1. BARR’S LONDON-MADE ECONOMIC SUCTION GARDEN ENGINE,
TO BE WORKED BY A MAN OR A LAD,
The Mitrailleuse, at the commencement of the Franco-Prussian War, was to have annihilated the Prussian Army, but it did not do so. The Hydropult, when it was introduced by our American cousins, was put forth like the Mitrailleuse, with great pretensions, but it proved a complete failure. It gave us, however, the idea of a portable Garden Engine, and we have gone on improving in this direction, until now we feel that the Engine we offer possesses all the advantages that are required in a Garden Engine. The mechanism is simple and of the highest order; the maximum of work can be performed with the minimum of labour. It will throw a constant stream of water 40 feet, being the greatest distance which has yet been attained by this class of engine, It is also capable of drawing water from a distance of 60 feet, through a #-inch suction-pipe, which could be placed in a tank, well, pond, or stream, and thereby become a most important instrument in extinguishing fires in dwelling-houses or farm-yards. Its value in the garden can hardly be over-estimated, for washing fruit-trees,

standard roses, syringing the conservatory, and cleansing windows. On hop-farins it will be of great service for cleansing the hops, or syringing them with tobacco-water. We have added a stuffing-box to prevent the escape of water at the handle, and have placed the waste-pipe on the off-side, so that the operator may work a whole day without wetting himself—a matter of considerable importance. Theangle-joints can be applied for syringing plants from beneath, or in other positions not in a straight line from the operator. The Engine is supplied, at the price quoted, with a %-inch two-feet suction hose and strainer, and a discharge-pipe of the same diameter and length, including a jet and two roses. We may remark that the Engine, from its superior fittings, does not teadily get out of repair, and when it does so it is very easily put into working order again. Price sos,
No. 2, BARR’S LONDON-MADE ECONOMIC SUCTION GARDEN ENGINE,
TO BE WORKED BY A LADY OR A BOY.
The construction of this Engine is in all respects the same as No. 1, but with a shorter piston and smaller barrel. It will throw a continuous stream of water 30 feet, and may be worked easily by a child. To lady gardeners and amateurs it will be a great boon. Price 42s. Lor Syringes, see p. 73.
BREHAUT’S PRUNING SCISSORS.......:c00ecs000 5/ | THE SELBY FLOWER GATHERER is a great improvement, 5 @rchard=house™ 5S i..s«semcansneees 4/6 and we confidently recommend it to our customers, for cut- Rose far gestae omnes 4/ ting and gathering simultaneously, flowers, grapes, etc., 5/.
It would hardly be possible to over-estimate the value of Mr. Bréhaut’s scissors. They are light, and do their work better than any English or French scissors which have been yet introduced ; cutting as clean asa knife, and the curve prevents the possibility of cutting more than is intended. To the amateur they are invaluable, while to the gardener they are a necessity. Being of various sizes, we recommend the Rose Scissors to ladies.
