Excerpt from The Gardeners' Chronicle and Agricultural Gazette for 1845 If after this notice, and our caution, people are found to spend one franc with such people, they must not cry out if they are. Cheated, and if the honest English gardener looks upon them as patrons of foreign Charlatans. In former days we saw much of these foreign gen try, and, as far as our means of doing so then extended, we cautioned buyers against them. But we cannot boast of our success. On the contrary, many people persevered in encouraging them, and an ample harvest was carried back to France. Now, how ever, the Columns of this Paper will spread the intelligence of their intentions among all classes of buyers, and no man can say that he has been cheated unawares.

Excerpt from The Gardeners' Chronicle and Agricultural Gazette for 1857 The conservatory in which my trees are grown is attached to the mansion. It stands south and north with south and west aspect, being span-roofed, 20 feet high, and supported by 18 cast-iron pillars. It is situated on a slight eminence, overlooking the beautiful valley of Terne. It is ventilated by means of perpendicular lights upon the south and west aspects, and is heated with a conical boiler and 4-inch pipes.

Orange culture I have found hitherto to be the easiest portion of all my troubles in the fruit department. Each of the four beds or compartments were dug out to the depth of about from 4 to 5 feet.

Excerpt from The Gardeners' Chronicle and Agricultural Gazette for 1851 It may be right, ere we close this somewhat length ened introduction, to enter upon one subject more, with reference to this 100 acres: on the amount of capital required for its proper cultivation, there may be some difference of opinion, as some farmers (ao cording to their views of farming) consider 8l. Per acre sufficient, some 9l, some ioz. Each may be right in his estimate, as the nature of the soil will necessarily greatly influence these opinions but perhaps 101. Per acre will be the safest amount both for landlord and tenant; and throughout our calcula tions we shall consider it so, and name the capital employed, 10001.
