THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE AND

others interested in the Corn Trade, an Edition will be pub-
lished in time for post every Moaday Afternoon from the
commencement of the New Year. containing a Full Report of
the Mark-lane and Smithfield Markets of that day.
In consequence of the Advertisement duty having been
taken off by Government, the customary charges for Adver-
tisements in THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE AND AGRICUL-
TURAL GAZETTE have been reduced. The peculiar character
and very extensive sale of THE GAR9ENECS' CHRONICLE
AND AORICULTURgL GAZETTE among the Farming Interest
and Landed Aristocracy makes it an especially valuable
channel for all Advertisements which are addressed to that
class, particularly for Advertisements relating to the Sale of
Estates and Farm Stock, the Letting of Farms, Farming and
Garden Implements, Construction of Conservatories, Fences,
&c., Seeds, Manures, Planting, Flowers, &c.,.&c. Another
advantage is, that the work, from its nature, is one not only
of daily but constant reference, so that Advertisements are
repeatedly under the eyes of the subscribers. Advertisements
will appear in both Editions without extra charge. Space of
four lines and under (body type), 2s. Gd.; each additional
line up to twenty, Gd.; every five lines beyond, 2s. ; a column,
