And should they be forgotten, and get with others of bad character, it is surprising how quickly they will partake of the same habits and disease, and will soon die in sorrow and disgrace. A sweet-smelling hot-hed rather on the decline is preferable, with the heat at about Go degrees. When you receive a bo.\ of rooted cuttings or plants, immerse them in water at the same temperature from one to two hours. When they are all refreshed, proceed to pot them into small pots, using nice, warm, sandy soil. See that the roots are separated and spread naturally out in the soil without injuring them, pressing the soil lirmly. Tlace them in the frame, keep them shut close for a few days, be careful of dump, and admit air us they get established. Let them be slightly dried each day, but do not allow them to flag from too much air or sun. And if a person possesses a stove, or even a warm greenhouse, there is no more difficulty in getting them to grow under an air-tight baud-glaas or wooden box with the top covered with glass, than those of cheir own striking or raising.

M^^CORQUODALE & CO., Limiteoi Caroinoton Street, London, N.W. it. Ciir|i]ell & Quide. A few Important words to all our Friends and Customers. 'E are delighted to say that we possess the most select and extensive collection of ELOllISTS’ FLOWERS in the world. Commanding as we do as fine a site for a nursery as could possibly be obtained, with air thoroughly free from all the iminirities of town smoke, we are enabled to give our customers the benefit of vigorous, healthy, well-grown country plants, the importance of which cannot well be over estimated, especially if it be a desideratum to produce show flowers, or to attain perfection in their growth; whilst to those whose gree- houses are in a more confined atmosphere than that of Swanley, the greater robustness of the country-grown plant enables it to battle more successfully than its weaker neighbour with the town smoke. The “Home of Flowers” is admitted to contain, at all seasons of the year, the finest and most complete display of flowers to be found, and it is one of the sights of London, to which all are welcome. The proximity of the rail to the nursery — the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Co. having their station in a corner of our grounds — is worthy of attention, as this line, being in immediate connection with all the others out of London, enables us to ensure rapid transit to all parts. We ourselves are passionately fond of flowers, and we find the greatest possible gratification in their growth ; we thus make it a hobby, and no pains or expense are spared to have nothing but the very best strains in cultivation, the result being certainly the most unique collection of plants in the world, and the largest stock in the trade. Our greatest pride is in the excellence of our flowers (for which wo were awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Horticultural and Royal Botanical Society of the City of Brussels and Ghent), and in distributing to the most remote corners of the earth the wonderful improvements effected by careful hybridising culture. As many as a hundred boxes by post leave Swanley some days, and strange and doubtful as it may appear, upwards of 400,000 labels are used yearly. The whole machinery of our nursery is con- structed to carry on a large and rapid trade of the best and most serviceable flowers in cultivation, at the very lowest possible prices consistent with quality, and we beg that every lover of flowers will "^&’c7ne ar& them, and we promise that they shall not depart withont seeing soinethiug highly interesting. Althongh every care will be taken in the packing and sending of plants, seeds, &c., risk of every description must be borne by the purchaser immediately they are delivered ■to the Railway Company. ( 2 ) S. dki\i\dl & ^or\^’ S^loi^l G(^uide, Every article is charged at the very lowest price, therefore no credit can he given. Our object ’ is' to give the ready-money buyers the advantages they are really entitled to. It may happen that prices lower than ours may sometimes be quoted. This invariably means false economy in a variety of ways — good things must be looked after by good men, who must be fairly paid, and good strains are only procured by unceasing labour and care. Full instructions as to the proper mode of forwarding must accompany each order, as it is calculated to expedite transit of goods, and save vexatious mistakes. All goods are advised the same day as forwarded, and the invoice posted as soon as possible afterwards. Say by what rail. Please to write the address plain aud in full on each order. No complaints entertained unless made immediately on receipt of goods. The greatest care is exercised, and utmost liberality shown, when the selection of sorts is left to us ** parttc«/ar/y requested that all small orders under 5s. he accompanied with remittance, to avoid the necessity of Booking. Keturned Empties. — As all Carriers refuse to receive these unless prepaid, and they are usually so much damaged during transit that when they reach us they are nearly useless, all packing material will be charged as low as possible, and CANNOT BE ALLOWED FOR IF RETURNED. We have taken more prizes for Fuchsias than any other Firm at the great London shows, and wilt send every particular how to grow, show, and get the first prize for them, for three stamps. All orders by post will be dealt with precisely as if given personally. As the season advances, and the New Plants become cheaper, so are the prices lowered accordingly; and those who send above their value will have additional plants put in to make up the full amount. It often happens that we are sold out of rooted euttings of some varieties, and plants are shaken out of pots to eomplete orders, eonsequently plant priee must be charged. When plants are publicly advertised by ns, the usual trade allowance will not be made To avoid delay and disappointment, all business communications must be sent direct to the firm, addressed “ H. CAJfMELL ^ SOJVS," otherwise they will remain unnoticed. Telegraphic address, “CAMJ^ELL, SWAJfLEr.” All Cheques to be made payable to H, CAKJ^ELL ^ SOJTS, and crossed Martin’s Banh, Swanley.

Cannell & Sons, Dealers in ALL KINDS OF Florists’ Floiver Seeds, would be glad to exchange or purchase the same.

It is the custom in the trade, immediately they raise a good variety, to hybridise it and get seed, from which they get bulbs, and sell as identical with the parent ; but it is a well-known fact that the offspring raised by this means is rarely as good as the original, so that the result is very disappointing to purchasers. We, on the contrary, have learned by experience to propagate direct from the choice kinds without a second generation intervening, so that our friends can rely absolutely on obtaining plants true to name. We have much the largest, finest, and best kept collection in the world, and although we were the first who were awarded a Gold Medal for this family, and have ever since maintained and improved upon them, yet, because we have been fortunate enough to he able to sell all the named varieties we could get without advertising them, it has been thought we were far behind those who made their strain more public. This is quite a mistake — we are far in advance of any other grower of this class, and the last two years have made such immense strides, both in hybridising and raising seedlings of sterling merit and growing them, that neither their size or colour has ever been equalled. We have thousands of seedlings selected in their various colours, and but a trifle inferior to the named varieties and we have good reason to hope that during next summer we shall far exceed our previous efforts. Even such expert critics as Messrs. Gumbleton and I’oe have described our Begonias as wonderful. We invite all who take an interest in them to visit ns any time from June to October. Their culture is of the siinjilest. Pot up the tubers in January, with the crowns just above the soil, in a compost made up of three parts peat and sand and the remainder light loam, using pots just large enough to take the bulb ; start them into growth in a warm greenhouse, and when they have made some young wood, shift them into G, 7, or 8-inch pots, using more loam in the compost than when first potted. They wilt speedily commence to show blossom, and when they begin to bloom, supply them with our Real Manure (see directions at end of Catalogue), and be careful that they are not placed in a temperature above GO®; excessive fire heat and glaring sun heat are most injurious. Above all, keep them growing, and never let them get a check. Pick off all seed-pod hlooms imme- diately they apjtear. BEGONIAS. itT is welt known throughout the whole floral world that our strain is in every way different and ^ far ahead of all others — hahits altogether dwarfer, flowers larger, with greater brilliancy, and more distinct colours. As we have before said, in character they are very much like a potato. In winter place the tuhers on the top of small pots, three parts full of soil, in some warm, dry, light corner of the greenhouse, so that they may be examined every week ; and if they are found to be at all mouldy, they must be dusted immediately with sulphur. Out of this hairy-like tuher, as spring, approaches, a small red hud will show forth from the centre ; then repot into a good, rich, light peaty soil, just leaving the hud visible, and in about a fortnight leaves will begin to unfold, and another fortnight, in a nice warm, moist temperature of 60®, blooms will be showing ; and a month after this let the plants he shifted into 5 or G-inch pots. In a month or six weeks the pots will be filled with roots, and if large plants are wanted, shift into a 7 or 8-inoh pot, for deep, good firm potting, as per engraving, which it fully illustrates. Be sure that there are no green fly ; if so, the buds will drop off, but it is very seldom that insects attack them. Be very particular never to allow them to become dry ; if so, they are injured for the season, and during hot, dry weather, give two waterings, and they will grow and ( 12 ) dk,r\i)e]l & bloom amazingly. Shade daring the sammcr, but admit plenty of air and light — light is one of the great things — just shaded from the sun, only kept near the glass ; no syringing, but occasionally a good drenching with rain water from a coarse rose ; avoid dust and cold draughts, administer weak liquid manure, and keep them growing as long as possible. Our Real Manure is unquestionably the best; if this is not at hand, dilated cow or horse manure. When the plants show signs of decay, lay the pots on their sides in some dry place, in December, shake away all soil, and place the tubers on the top of soil in the pots before mentioned. A house can be kept in a blaze of bloom all the summer with Begonias, and all the winter and the remaining parts of the year with Zonal l^elargoninms, either of which only require the treatment any intelligent man can give them. Attention is the great thing. Seed Sowing and Seedling Raising. — First fill a pot or pan half full of some substance to make it porous for drainage, then cover over with moss, or something similar, to make a separation, and then fill to within a quarter of an inch from the top of light, fine-sifted soil, previously charred or burnt, so much the better, so as to kill all animal and vegetable life; press down level, and on it sprinkle the seed ; place over this the smallest coating of the very finest cocoa-nut fibre and sea sand or soil, just so as to support the seed in their places. Keep in total darkness, with paper or glass over the top, in a temperature of 60° to 70® ; as soon as they show signs of life above the soil gradually expose, and as soon as they have roots a quarter of an inch long, loosen round carefully, make small holes in similar-prepared soil in small pots. They are too small for manipulation ; in fact, they mast not be handled. Have a wine-glass of water, dip a pencil in it (use it as a dibber), and by this means these small seedlings will hang to it, and can be easily placed into the hole previously made for them, gently press down, and place in a similar temperature for a few days afterwards ; gradually expose and reduce from 60® to 60°, and keep near the glass. The sun, after February, must not be allowed to shine long on Begonias under glass, as they dislike extreme heat, sun, and cold ; they delight in, and oinst be kept at, a medium temperature.

The highest and most important award yet given, and indicating the excellency of our strain. DOUBLE BEGONIAS. f FORMERLY all our varieties have been collected from France and Germany, but now they ^ have them from us. The 12 houses we devote to Double and Single Begonias will be found to contain a greater selection of colour and better gro\vn plants than those of any other firm a fact which is vouched for by our customers having taken probably twice as many prizes for this wmily. We have had blooms far finer than the engravings seem to indicate, the flowers we have exhibited having caused surprise and astonishment to all who beheld them. Mounted on wire separately, they form charming ornaments for buttonholes or bouquets, whilst their lasting properties render them desirable for vases or table decorations. Their culture is just the same as for the single kinds and no better advice can be offered as regards them than in the preceding article. FOR NEW DOUBLES FOR 1894, SEE NEW THINGS. ( 13 ) fl. Clkr|r(en & 3^1oi%1 Grtiitle t There is a great novelty and peculiarity in the structure of the flowers of both single and double Begonias. It will be seen by the engraving that the two side flowers are small and single, with a seed vessel, which the centre and larger flower | does not possess, thus clearly showing that there are two female flowers to every male flower — the former should be picked off.

A s sanguine as we were, we should have felt rather reluctant to have prophesied some years ago the wonderful perfection to which we have brought the Single Begonias.

The deepest rose and the clearest yellow, and many intermediate colours — flowers stretching out nearly seven inches across — the short, thick, upright growth and erect flowers that our seedlings possess, place them, in the opinion of all connoisseurs who have seen them, far ahead of all others; and, without doubt, we have made great strides. What surprising alterations are brought about, even in a short sp^e of time! Not more than 11 or 12 years ago, when we sent out a set called Six- inch Begonias, it was laughed at as incredulous : some now boast of their flowers being above 7 inches across. Our Experimental Flower Garden — an acre of our Nursery and ourtwelve houses — full of them, has been beyond all question the grandest floral sight ever seen ; one cannot form the slightest idea of its grandeur unless they visit the Home of Flowers.

We have now a sufficient stock, an, d have also had sufficient experience of the Begonia as a bedding plant (our lawn beds and borders having been full of the best during the two last summers) to pronounce it as eminently suited to this purpose. Nor are we alone in this opinion ; it is the general verdict. Seedlings make a lovely bed ; but to have all the plants of one regular height, shape, and colour, a Stock must be propagated as one would Zonal Felargoninms. They can be propagated just like Dahlias, by cutting the Tubers at the eyes just after they have started. Plant the bulbs ten inches apart, and take them up when the frosts come. This is really all the culture needed. Begonia Worthiana has proved itself a good beddor of the small flowering section. 19"). CASTAN.fflFOLIA — Although not a tuberous and purely evergrt^eu variety, it makes a capital bed planted 9 in. from plant to plant.

CANNELL & SONS’ SYSTEM OF GERMINATION OF SEEDS. CERTAIN, SIMPLE, AND THE CORRECT MODE OF RAISING PLANTS FROM SEED. 'WORTH TO THE WORLD MANY THOUSANDS OF POUNDS. S OW your seeds in the usual way, only cover up and keep in total darkness until they begin to peep above the soil, then gently and gradually expose them to the light. This is so feasible, that every sensible person will at once and for ever ailopt it, and the success of all good seed ivill follow, and become a lasting practice and benefit. For years past excellent treatises have been ^written, practical men have adopted shading their seed-pans with paper, and others with a glass vessel of water, various coloured glass, &c., all of which but slightly approach this system, and why it has not become a general practice long since we are wholly at a loss to say. The advantage and success of this system is so apparent, that it only requires to be once known to become universjilly adopted. First, when a frame, pot, or pan is covered completely, it ensures one uniform moisture and tempera- ture ; consequently every seed possessing the merest life will be sure to grow, and also save that continual watching — so necessary in the old style — and lessen to a minimum the anxiety of raising valuable seed. The nearer out-door sown seeds are treated like this the better. 241 ) 16 diiTiriell & Griiitle. CAMEL' LIAS. ALBA PLENA — Double white. AITGELA COCCHI — Crimson, fl.uked white.

HOW TO MANAGE PLANTS, ROOTED CUTTINGS, AND SEEDLINGS SENT BY POST. W HERE persons have the convenience and sufficient experience for nursing small plants, and enjoy seeing them grow, we strongly recommend their having them sent by post, as every care is taken to grow them in such a temperature, &c., that there is no risk about their doing well with a small amount of ordinary care, if the ajipended instructions are carefully followed. It must bo remembered that plants are like young children ; they must be carefully looked after, tea, clothed, and trained in the way they should go, and a little common sense exercised to ascertain their requirements, and to guard against enemies. And should they be forgotten, and get with others of bad character, it is surprising how quickly they will partake of the same habits and disease, and will soon die in sorrow aiid disgrace. A sweet-smelling hot-bed rather on the decline is preferable, with the heat at about 65 degrees. When you receive a box of rooted cuttings or plants, immerse them in water at the same temperature from one to two hours. When they are all refreshed, proceed to pot them into small pots, using nice, warm, sandy soil. See that the roots are separated ami spread naturally out in the soil without injuring them, pressing the soil firmly. Place them in the trame, keep them shut close for a few days, be careful of damp, and admit air as they get established. Let them be slightly dried each day, but do not allow them to flag from too much air or sun. And if a person possesses a stove, or even a warm greenhouse, there is no more difficulty in getting them to grow under an air-tight hand-glass or wooden box with the top covered with glass, than those ol their own striking or raising.

BIGGS & GREENHOW, Dowlais Chamlbers, CARDIFF, suppl}' their pure Anthracite Large, Nut, or Cobble Coal (the Nuts being about the size of a walnut, and the Cobbles about the size of a man’s fist) delivered in truck loads to any Railway Station. Our Coal is of the purest quality and is absolutely smokeleSS, and it requii’es much less attention than any other description of fuel, burning for twelve hours {it least without any supervision, and giving five to ten degrees more heat than Coke, and being about 35 per cent, more economic. FOR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES it is equally good and economical. No special grate is necessary, as most ordinaiy grates will burn Anthracite well; and those that will not require only very simple alterations, such as any blacksmith can carry out at the cost of a few shillings. The ash after the Coal has been burnt, being hard and heavy, does not fly about the room or deposit itself upon the mantelshelf. FOR COOKING OR KITCHEN PURPOSES it has no equal, the fire being always brigTht and clear, without either flame or smoke, and, as stated, the ash being heavy there is no dangfer of choked flues. Anthracite Coal is now used in the Mansion House, the Charing Cross and Langham Hotels, the National Liberal Club, also the Imperial Institute, &c., &c., 's free motion to the knives.

SELECT GRAPE VINES. rL Grape Vines we prow very extensively ; four of our 100-ft. houses are filled with them early in the spring, and afterwards (the houses) used for drying seeds during August and September. Eaeh year we have some unsold from the preceding year’s sale ; these are shifted from the 9 and 10-in. pots into baskets filled with well-prepared soil, and make strong growth from 12 to 18 ft. long, carrying bunches of Grapes. These are of great importance when a house is required to be filled at once. At all seasons these Vines, if planted intact and laid sideways, together with 2 ft. of stem, 6 inches below the surface, will at once put forth young fresh roots. By having these a season’s planting will be saved. 10s. to 12s. each. We have also a large quantity planted out, four years old, with very large strong canes, for immediate cropping.

It is of th^ utmost importance to all who require Wedding and other Bouquets, and cut flowers, that they should have them direct from the growers at wholesale prices. No flowers are grown in Covent Garden, hut all nome from various parts of the country ; therefore, hy buying direct from the grower, all middle profits and commissions are saved, whilst the flowers are just as fresh and more varied, besides being cheaper than those bought in London shops. Any quantity can be packed so as to travel safely, and as the LONDON, CHATHAM, & DOVER is in direct communi- cation with all the other Railways, punctuality can be relied upon. In giving orders it is necessary that plenty of time he allowed, and that the actual object requiredjs distinctly stated ; no’, set price can he stated, as that differs so materially with the seasons ( 2.50 ) Have your Cut Flowers direct from us, the ACTUAL PRODUCERS, you thus effect a great saving. We have erected a large and spacious building for the reception and making up of Flowers. All kinds, large or small quantities, even to a 9d. (post free) button-hole flower, are regularly sent by post to all parts of Europe. The advantage, in both price and freshness, in having them direct from the actual growers is something considerable, particularly as a Post Office official meets five trains per day from Swanley at liolborn, and immediately conveys postal matter to the Chief Office.

He has raised many seedling Stniwl)erries, but this is tlie gem; he Siiys for a new variety this possesses above and beyond what most otlier new sorts cannot lay claim to, and that is, “an advance on all other kinds.” Like us, he is an admirer of British Qiirrii — that lady and Strawberry seem to liave become noted about the same time — no other bore compari.son to its lovely flavour until Geo»(/e made its appearance. This has the same delicious taste, large cockscomb-shaped fruit, ami its pleasant juicy flavour reminds one, after it is down, of a glass of wine, causing one to smack the lips for another and another, instead of looking round for the sugar to reduce the acidity. It is certainly in the same way, and a great improvement on British Queen, Dr. Hogg, &c. ^ "" DESCRIPTION. — Fruit and colour like British Queen, light red : large size, often weighing more than an ounce, strong grower, distinct dark green foliage, and fruiting freely. As a new Strawberry it will soon recommend itself as being the best distinct variety yet raised for eating since British Queen, and producing three times the quantity of fruit, 2s. each ; four plants, 6s. ; eight plants, 9s. ; twelve plants, 10s. 6d. ( 252 ) S'. Ckr\r\ell & Griiide. New St4;WBeseies. Raised by Mr, W. ALLEN, sent out and highly recommended by Messrs. J, YEITCH & SONS. EMPRESS OF INDIA. Plant of compact habit and free bearer. Fruit obtusely conical, bright scarlet, approaching in flavour that of Brilisk Queen, but ripens two or three weeks earlier, and colouring to the apex. It is an excellent free-setting variety, and one of the best for forcing ; its flesh is firm, a quality which renders it especially suitable for travelling when packed. First Class Certificate from Koyal Horticultural Society, May 17th. 1892; also at Edinburgh, Wolverhampton, and Earl’s Court Exhibitions, 1892. Price 40s. per 100; 9s. per doz. In pots, 50.s. per 100. GUNTON PARK. Plant very prolific ; fruit extra large, and one of the handsomest yet raised, in sha|)e varying from cockscomb to obtusely conical, dark crimson scarlet, and of a pleasant brisk flavour ; the flesh is firm, richly coloured, becoming paler towards the centre. A fine early kind, very useful for forcing and bearing in long succession. First Class Certificate from Koyal Horticidtural Society, .July 21st, 1892 ; also at Edinburgh, Wolverhampton, and Earl’s Court Exhibitions, 1892. Price 30s. per 100 ; 4.s. per doz. In pots, 40s. per 100. LORD SUFFIELD. Plant of good habit and foliage, very prolific ; fruit large and handsome, obtusely conical, inclining to cockscomb shape, dark crimson ; flesh firm, pale in the centre, and richly flavoured. A very distinct useful variety, ripening after President and Sir .Joseph Paxton.

In pots, 40.s. per doz. LAXTON’S “ROYAL SOVEREIGN.” An earlier, higher quality, and improved “Sir Joseph Paxton.” First Class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society, 22nd .Tune, 1892, and the only Strawberry certificated by the Society in 1893 after trial at Chiswick ; a Cultural Com- mendation also awarded by the Society for Fruiting Plants forced in iiota, 11th April, 1893, and a First Class Certificate at the hardening and Forestry Exhibition, Earl's Court, 14th May, 1893. “ This fine early Strawberry I consider to be by far the best I have yet introduced, as it possesses all the qualities required in a good Strawberry. The fruit is of the largest size, conical, and .sometimes flattened in shape; the colour all over is a glossy bright scarlet, the flesh e.xceedingly firm and white, the seeds set in shallow basins and projecting beyond the surface, enabling the fruit to carry well ; the flavour is rich, vinous, and quite equal to that of British Queen. It ripens a few days after King of the Karlies, and here (at Bedford^ in the open the first fruits were ready with Noble. The plant is very prolific, carrying trusses of large fruits which ripen well to the extremity ; it is also vigorous, hardy, and a good grower ; the foliage very bold, and on long footstalks. The S. Soii^’ 5^1oi%l G[tiitle. ariety was raised from A'ohle, crossed witli Kitii/ nf the Karhes, and is the best of several hundred seedlings from the cross, and I know of no Strawberry which combines so many good qualities as ' Royal Sovereign, although I have raised many thousands of seedlings, and tried most of the known varieties. I look u|)on Royal Sovereign ns the long sought early, highly flavoured and improved Sir Joseph Paxton, and just the fruit wanted to precede that popular Strawberry. i\.s a forcing variety Royal Sovereign is unequalled for early work.” — Laxton. The (lardeniug Tress have unanimously spoken in high terms of the good qualities of this -Strawberry. The Gardeners’ Chronicle, The, Journal of Horticulture, and The Magazine, having furnisheil their readers with illustrations of the fruits. Mr. Geo. Monro, Salesman, Coveut Garden, writes very hopefully of this Strawberry as likely to make a good market variety. Mr. .1. Wright, author of Proftahte.
