A MOST IMPORTANT and VALUABLE IMPROVEMENT in the CULTURE of the GRAPE VINE, and for advancing the Fruit to the highest state of perfection. The Inventor, JOHN LONG, Hothouse Builder, &c. Beaufort Place, Chelsea (at the foot of Battersea Bridge), begs most respectfully to invite the Nobility, Gentry, and Horticulturists generally, to an inspection of his newly-invented moveable Wire-trellis Frames, by means of which the Vines are lowered from the glass roof, and raised at pleasure to any angle with the greatest facility, without the slightest injury to the plants, thereby effectually securing them from injury from the extremes of cold and heat, ensuring a plentiful crop of well-matured grapes, and causing a considerable saving in fuel at a comparatively trifling expence. J. L. can with the greatest confidence recommend the adoption of the above invention, and ensure its success in all cases; its utility for all the purposes for which it was designed having been most fully exemplified, as, from the highly respectable references he is enabled to give, can be amply proved. Manufactured and erected by the Inventor in any part of the United Kingdom, on the shortest Notice. PINCE'S GOLDEN NECTARINE. LUCOMBE, PINCE, & Co. beg leave to call the attention of the Public to a new kind of NECTARINE, raised by them, which they have named as above; it is a most beautiful and highly desirable Fruit, of a large size, with a rich and very peculiar flavour. Its appearance marks it out most decidedly as a Fruit very distinct from any other hitherto produced. Trees may be had on application to Messrs. LUCOMBE, PINCE, & Co.

Having been pretty successful hitherto in the transmission of seeds from the southern hemisphere, he sees no plausible objections to seeds being still allowed to cross the equator, with every hope of ultimate success, and especially those of some fine species the extinction or weakening of the vegetative which have hitherto failed in consequence of powers in seeds. With such, a course of experiments, founded on practical observations, will be made they will hereafter be made public. &c. touch at the Cape of Good Hope on their Many Vessels from the East Indies, China, return to Europe, having plants on board, which are too frequently in a very precarious condition. The Advertiser, while in the neighbourhood of Cape Town, and when requested, will examine the state of such growing plants, and freely sugto the future preservation of them, free of all gest such farther methods as may be conducive expence to the applicants; and in so doing, he hopes to be the means of preserving many valu. able plants for their owners, whose laudable exertions and heavy expences too often end in disappointment. Professors in the various branches of Natural History will find this a favourable opportunity adding new and interesting specimens to their of increasing their Collections, and perhaps of Cabinets, as the Advertiser has already paid some attention to this circle of the Sciences, and is equally anxious to increase his knowledge; and this he will be enabled to do, being entirely freed from the restrictions under which he laboured while in His Majesty's service. addition to any specimens he may furnish, he tion which may pass under his notice, of the will be ever ready to forward any true informauses, habits, and economy of both the animal and vegetable kingdoms, Kew, August 1826.
