Sutton & Sons, Seedsmen by special appointment to Her Majesty the Queen, Royal Berkshire Seco Establishment, Reading.

Sutton's Grass Seeds for all Soils were extensively used in sowing the grounds of the Vienna Universa Exhibition, where the evergreen sward was the subject of general admiration. They have been exclusively used for sowing the grounds attached to the Staff Quarters of the British Commission for the Philadelphi International Exhibition, and are also sown at the several Royal Residences in England and on the Continent of Europe.

Sutton's Flower Seeds have also been sown in the grounds attached to the British Commission.

HYDRAULIC LIFTING JACKS.-These compound lifting jacks are offered with confidence as being the best in the market, and the lowest in price.

Each one has a fast claw which will be found safer and more convenient than a loose one. They either lift from the foot or top, are most simple in action and construction, very safe and portable; the cylinders are made of steel and so arranged that one man can lift from 4 to 60 tons.

These jacks have been largely supplied for home and foreign railways, and also to the British and Foreigu Government Dockyards.

In the form of ship jacks, with the cistern outside of the cylinder these jacks have been extensively used by ship builders, and several of them rendered good service in the launch of the Great Eastern steam ship.

SCREW LIFTING JACKS.-Messrs. Tangye confidently recommend their various kinds of screw jacks for lifting purposes as being quite equal to any yet manufactured for quality of workmanship, design, and wearing capabilities.

The large resources they have at their command for producing these jacks in quantities, enable them to send out large quantities for home or export trade at very short notice.

ENGINES.-Tangye's Patent Horizontal High-pressure Expansive Steam Engine.

In designing this engine the utmost regard has been paid to simplicity of arrangement, strength of construction, and economy in cost.

The working parts are considerably reduced in number as compared with horizontal engines generally, rendering it far more durable and compact.

One great advantage of these engines is the ease and economy with which they can be fixed.
All that is required is a foundation of brick, stone, or timber, to render them ready for use.
GOVERNOR.-Tangye's Patent, High Speed Regulating Governor.

This is exceedingly simple and compact, and being driven at a high speed, it is very sensitive, and the working of the engine is rendered uniform under varying pressures of steam, or sudden differences of load.

A regulating arrangement is also combined for speeding the engine, consisting of an internal spiral spring placed in the upper part of the governor, the power of which is increased or diminished by lifting and screwing or unscrewing the gun metal stop nut at the other end.

LIFTING GEAR.-Special attention is directed to the London pattern rope blocks, self sustaining rope blocks, and hoisting crabs, as being suited to the requirements of builders, contractors, engineers, shipwrights, railway carriage makers, and all requiring handy hoisting tackle.

PUNCHING BEARS, HYDRAULIC.-These powerful hydraulic punching bears are recommended as being much quicker and easier in operation than any other kind yet introduced, whilst they are equally portable, durable,

and compact. They can be worked in any position and the larger sizes can be adapted for steam power if required.

The legs can be easily detached when necessary, for use in confined situations.

DUPLEX PUNCHING BEARS.-These celebrated punches require no skilled labour to use them nor are they liable to break or get out of repair. They are made of the best materials, and exhibit the highest mechanical ingenuity in their design and construction.

They are so simple and their application so apparent that directions for use are quite unnecessary.

LONDON DOUBLE ACTION HAND PUMP is eminently suited for house, farm, and garden purposes, and is well worth the attention of merchants, shippers, and the trade.

HYDRAULIC PROVING PUMPS for testing boilers, pipes, tanks, &c. are made to test up to a pressure of 300 lbs. per square inch, and can be well recommended as being reliable and useful proving pumps.

These papers are produced from pure unworn linen cuttings, collected from the Linen Manufactories of the north of Ireland, where Linen is the staple trade to the total exclusion of Cotton, its cheaper substitute. This ensures an unmixed pure and sound raw material of the strongest description which produces paper of the very best quality.

Prize Medals were awarded to Marcus Ward and Co. at all the International Exhibitions at which they exhibited, viz., at London 1862, at Dublin 1865, and at Paris (Three Medals), 1867.
