Jefferys Oxford Nursery

Jeffery's Nursery is quite new, and chiefly cropped with culinary vegetables. Part of it is laid out, however, with considerable taste, and is devoted to flowers and shrubs; among which were some valuable new sorts. We have no doubt it will be a good nursery in a few years. We noticed here a plant of Calliopsis bicolor, with the dark-coloured part of the petals extending to the very tips, which alone were yellow. Seeds should be saved from this individual; but we saw no one in the nursery whom we could recommend to do this. The grounds were in good order, and surrounded by a dead hedge of thorns, very ingeniously constructed. This nursery, and that of Mr. Humphrys, were in better order and keeping than any of the other Oxford nurseries.
