CAUTION.-HALL'S PATENT STARCH

iv( R. LAWRENCE HALL begs to acknowledge the
.1.11. liberal patronage he has received for so many years,
and deems it a duty to himself and the public to guard them
against the many spurious imitations which are daily foisted
upon them under the various denominations of BEST
PATENT STARCH," " BEST WHITE PATENT STARCH,"
" PATENT GLAZED STARCH," " SATIN-PACED STARCH,"
" SUPERIOR PATENT STARCH," &C. &C. These invariably
disappoint the consumer, and greatly injure him (the only
Patentee) by an inferior article being imposed on them as
his make; and he begs further to caution them against pur-
chasing an article now offering for Sale, which, being made
from Potatoes, is in the form of powder, and may thus be
distinguished from HIS PATENT STARCH. Every consumer
knows that Starch made from Potatoes is of very inferior
strength, and will not retain its stiffening qualities when
exposed to the atmosphere.
It is a fact well known, that it was a few years after Mr.
HALL took out a Patent for his invention before he brought
the article to the perfection for general use to which it has
now attained ; and it is better known still, that all the imita-
tors have utterly failed in making a Starch at all similar or
equal to HALL'S Patent Starch, other makers being ignorant
of his present mode of preparing it, and if such were not the
case, their premises and situation would not be suitable.
Purchasers of Starch are therefore particularly requested not
to be deceived by a spurious article, and they are respectfully
requested to ask for _ _

HALL'S- IMPROVED PATENT STARCH.
No other Makers of Starch ever had a Patent for it

THE FIRST NUMBER FOR 1843 OF

1H E GARDENERS' CHRONICLE;
a Weekly Record of Rural Economy and General News.

THE HORTICULTURAL PART EDITED BY
PROFESSOR LINDLEY.

Such has been the success of " THE GARDENERS'
CHRONICLE" that it has already a sale far beyond any
contemporary of a like character—a sale which has gone on
progressively increasing from the commencement. This
fact, gratifying as it is from the Proprietors, will only stimu-
late them to further exertions ; AND THEY, THEREFORE,
MERELY REFER TO THE PAST AS AN EARNEST OF THE
FUTURE, and announce for the information of the public
generally the nature of the Publication.
THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE iS, in the first place, a
weekly record of everything that bears upon Horticulture,
Floriculture, Arboriculture, or Garden Botany, and such
Natural History as has relation to Gardening, with Notices
and Criticisms of all works of importance on such subjects.
Connected with this part are WEEKLY CALENDARS
OF GARDENING OPERATIONS given in great detail,
and adapted to the objects•of persons in every station of life ;
so that the Cottager with a few rods of ground before his
door, the Amateur who has only a greenhouse, and the Ma-
nager of extensive gardens, are alike informed each week of
the routine of operations which the varying seasons render
necessary. It moreover contains very extensive Foreign and
Domestic Correspondence upon Horticultural subjects—
Reports of Horticultural Exhibitions and Proceedings at
home and abroad—Notices of Novelties and Improvements—
in short, everything that can tend to advance the profession,
benefit the condition of the workman, or conduce to the
pleasure of his employer, all accompanied with Woodcuts,
whenever the matter treated of requires that mode of illus-
tration. Replies to all questions connected with the object
of the Paper are also given weekly in great detail. And al-
though the Paper is not, strictly speaking, an Agricultural
Journal, yet it contains full Reports of the Proceedings of
the Royal Agricultural Society, and much valuable informa-
tion upon the more interesting subjects of discussion in
this branch of inquiry.
IN THE SECOND PLACE, that description of domestic and
political News is introduced which is usually found in a
Weekly Newspaper. It is unnecessary to dwell on this head
further than to say, that the Proprietors do not range them-
selves under the banners of any party - their earnest endea-
vours are to make THE GARDENERS' eHRONICLE a full and
comprehensive Record of Facts only—a Newspaper in the
true sense of the word—leaving the reader to form his own
conclusion and opinions : their object being the elucidation
and discussion of the laws of Nature, not of man. The
reader is thus furnished, IN ADDITION TO THE PECULIAR
FEATURE OF THE JOURNAL, with such a variety of informa-
tion concerning the events of the day, as supersedes the ne-
cessity of his providing himself with any other Weekly
London Paper.
Each year commences a new Volume, and is complete in
itself.

A Prospectus, with List of Contributors, may be had on
