ELABORATE Catalogues are the prevailing fashion, and in
no business does it seem so necessary as in gardening ;
but competition is so keen, that the business done is barely
remunerative : the outlay is much out of proportion, and
again, as a rule, they are often carelessly misplaced, and many,
appropriate the information we give to their own benefit with- '
out ever thinking of us or the cost ; under these circumstances
we hope we shall not be considered out of place in submitting
the following: —

The cost of printing 54,000 Catalogues is £792; postage,
about £332 ; engravings and other innumerable incidental ex-
penses bring the amount to above £1,300 per annum, which is

a serious item in any business.
We, therefore, trust to our
readers’ generous response to
our Trade Motto for the mass
of valuable information, fully
and freely given, to enable us
to continue it in its present
explanatory form, for nowhere
does the good old adage apply
more forcibly than in this case ;

“ A number can assist one, but
it is ruinous for one to help
many.” We do our best to keep our customers correctly'
informed on all popular and useful flowers and vegetables, thus
adding a charm, pleasure, and profit for every lover of the
garden.

A COMFORT EVERYWHERE.

K. R. Smkllie, Esq., Mornilyan Plantation, Moniilyan Harbour,

Northern Queensland, November 1st.

On leaving Brisbnne three months ago for this Plantation, during our sugar harvesting, I find the
only book my lady ])eople packed in my portmanteau was your Eloral Guide for 1886. I have care-
fully perused it over and over again, and must say it contain.s an immense amount of information,
rind niceh' arranged. Although an amateur florist for 40 years (I commenced it when a boy), it is
the best Catalogue I have met with. Send me the annexed order.

All the plants and seeds mentioned in this Catalogue are in
readiness, at all seasons, to be sent to any part of the world on
receipt of the price stated (see prices, &c,, following), adding
one-third extra for India, China, Australia, and New Zealand,
when extra strong plants must be selected to outlive the voyage ;
any other Flowers not herein mentioned will also be supplied
at their fair and proper prices.

All prices herein denote plants established in pots, and the styie of packing of such should
be left to us, the material only being charged for ; or, if desired, the soil can be shaken
away, and nearly all plants sent by Letter or Parcels Post. The following are supplied
as rooted cuttings and cuttings, viz. ; — Ageratums, Antirrhinums, Bouvardias, Calceolarias
fShrubby), Chrysanthemums (new varieties, cuttings half price). Coleus, Dahlias, Fuchsias,
Heliotropiums, Lantanas, Pansies, Pentstemons, Petunias, Phloxes, Salvias, Tropseolums,
Verbenas, Veronicas, and Violas. Plants priced 6d., a rooted cutting would be 4d., and a
cutting 2d.

Zonal and other Pelargoniums differ only in price thus — if priced Is., rooted cuttings will
be 9d., and cuttings 6d., also sent by post, and so on in proportion to the price of the
plant.

Plants sent by post, without soil, up to the limited weight, to all parts of the world.

BOXKS AND postage: AT ACTUAL COST.
See how to Manage Plants and Cuttings by Post, at page 300.

Our Postal alterations surprise many— first it was Swanley, Dartford, then
Chislehurst, afterwards St. Mary Cray ; now it is Swanley only: These many
changes have been in consequence of the pressure and great increase in our
business.

We are sure that xue ought to he, and xve are, very thankful to our customers
for all orders and favours, but our thousands of 'patrons from all parts, 'who
call to see and enjoy “ The Home of Flowers," say, and say it heartily, “ it is
'We 'who are grateful for the many lovely flowers that you recommend and send,
and xue so mxtch enjoy, such as xue never had or saw before.” All this we need
hardly say delights us, but what should we do, and our upiuards of a hundred
employes do, if it were not for the generous suppox't of our kind patrons sending
their orders and x'emittances fx'om time to tixne ? For this support we are,
and shall for ever be, grateful, and we pray all will accept our heartiest thanks
and best wishes.

Frequently we have sent our old and much-esteemed customers two copies, many of whom have
forwarded them to their friends, but some have hesitated and written us to ask if they might post
them on to an acquaintance. This is a trouble — re-direction and reposting, 'id . — and to save this
we kindly ask our customers to slip the addresses of those friends on a card to us, so that the
Catalogues may go direct. We hope that all real lovers of the garden aud good flowers will not fail
to send their friends’ addresses, so that we may further extend our business, and their friends’ success,
happiness, and interest in their gardens.

The following engraving illustrates one of our stands of 12 distinct bunches of Double Begonias,
which were exhibited and caused the greatest surprise and astonisliment from one end of the United
Kingdom to the other.

NEW AND NANE PLANTS.

The year 1888 will long- be remembered for its several very important
novelties in flowers. What we are offering’ are such as our g-reatest
critics will hail with much pleasure and admiration. We have had
many additional visitors from all parts of the world, and it has given us
great pleasure to hear their many expressions of satisfaction.

CANNAS, THE “COMING PLANTS.”

NVe E»<ii(ivi)ifj on buck of Corcr,

The Begonia we have altered from the poor, narrow, insignificant flower, to a l)road petal of from
two to three inche.s, made so as to be almost unrecognisable. Our French friends have given n.“
several glorious improvements, so much so that our house of Cannas has jjositively startled the
greatest experts, both amateurs and professionals, and one and all have pronounced them the “ coming
plant.” As in all other similar improvements, w-e shall soon have progresses of our own that will
totally eclipse them. At all events, the lovely, brilliant, orchid-like flowers, and the broad, graceful,
sub-tropical, highly ornamental foliage, together with their easy culture (treated same as a potato),
the Cauna from this time will become one, if not the most important ])lant, for garden and general
decoration that we possess, for the flowers are of the most brilliant colours, and in shape fa.st
approaching the Gladioli, and w'ill mark a new era in our floral disiilay everywhere.

As an instance how we alter flowers — in the minds of many it will be consideretl exaggeration —
however, flowers were sent of three Cannas to the most practical and best informed horticultural
artist in London, and sketch was returned headed “Gladiolus;” and on informing him of his error,
he replied thus : —

“ 15/7/ October, 1887.

“ Dear Sir, — The previous sketch must have shocked your feelings. Although I have been
drawing flowers for over 15 years, so broad were the petals that I did not recognise. 1 thought them
rather peculiar flowers for Glailioli, but then one expects uncommon flowers from vou, who can
apparently cross Zonals with Begonias, and Chrysanthemums with Fireworks, and they need not
be surprised at any floral fonns from Swanley.”

( AKNELI.’S CUIMSON-MAllOOX CARNATION.

H. CANNELL & SONS’

GRAND NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS for 1888.

These are our own raising, from the same hatch, and probably from the same head of seed, as
those which were exhibited at the Royal Aiinarinm, and caused the greatest sensation throughout
the world, and was pronounced the best new batch ever sent out in one lot. The varieties now
offered, we have no doubt, will be as highly spoken of.

AVALATTCHE— We cannot do better than quote Mr. Molyneux's description, who says:—
“ Avalanche, a pure white .Japanese variety having large, very full, rounded flowers, remarkable for
the solidity of the florets, which are long, thin, and of a flat character. One of the best features of
this variety is the dwarf, sturdy habit of growth. As an exhibition flower, it is sure to be much
sought after for its fine build and purity of colour. In my opinion, it is the finest white Chrysanthe-
mum in cultivation.” 7.t. Gd. each. •

The Editor of The Garden (Noveihber 19th, 1887) says—

“ The flower of Avalanche was the perfection of beauty, measuring fully 7 inches across, and of
great solidity and depth.”

TWO NEW LATE-FLOWERING VARIETIES.

YELLOW ETHEL, or NEW YEAR’S DAY— (Fdwards' variety)— Uji to the present,
no variety has proved more valuable and useful for the festive season as the white, the jiarent of the
above, mid from whicli it is a sport— this being so, we need hardiy say it is a fae-siniile in every way
except colour, wliich is a bright yellow of a higher tone of colour than other similar sports. IJlooms
of this variety commanded almost fabulous jirices last Christmas : and, without doubt, is the best and
most valuable for cutting at the shortest and New Year’s Days ever oftercil. l.v. (it/, each. Special
prices to the Trade.

“ YELLOW SNOWDROP,” or “ PRIMROSE LEAGUE ”— A sjiort from the w ell-
known best pure white Christmas blooming pompon, and for small cut flow:er work and decoration
the best. l.s. each.

CACTUS DAHLIAS.

It is highly gratifving to know, as we do from the great dciuaud of late and eni|uiries. that .seedlings
similar and apiiroaching the original .luarezii that we had the pleasure of sending out soiue years ago
are the most useful and serviceable of all Dahlias. Just ns we. anticipated, our new varieties last sear
have given great satisfaction, ami at no distant date prizes will be offered for this class, just in the same
way a.s the show ami fancy varieties.

It is with considerable pride and pleasure that we have six varieties to add to tlie lovely and
most useful class of all Dahlias.

SIR TREVOR LAWRENCE— In our opinion this is the loveliest coloured Cactus Dahlia in
cultivation. Bright cherry-scarlet, shaded jmrple, refle.xcd flowers, with pleasing Cactus-shaped
jietals and charuiing haliit. makes it a general favourite. One of the best we have raised. lO.-.'. each.

YELLOW A. W. TAIT— A deep bronze-yellow, abundant bloomer, and fine haliit : at first
sight it would be taken for a reflexed Chrysanthemum, so fine and lovely aro^ its petals twi.sted and
narrowly cut, rivalling a Japanese variety ; a real feature in any garden, 's. (W.

YELLOW JUAREZII— Colour canary -yellow ; elegant shaiic. and will become immensely
])Opular. lO.v. each

LADY ARDILAUN— Mo^tchannin<rcomi)iimtiou of colour, lialf-and-half scarlet and crimson.
Tu factj it is. in our opinion, the loveliest self-colour of all Dahlias : splendid habit, very tine and
free. 10s. each.

( xi )

LILLIAN AHKllV.

ABERY — Last year we offered IF. T. *l/yen/, and the accoinpanyinjf enj^raving
rci)resentvS it adminihly, and, wherever exhibited, was the lion of the shows, all exclaiming, ‘*What a
lovely flower! it is the prettiest of all Dahlias!” And so it is. The one we now offer is its verv
counterpart, except one colour — yellow takes the place of the scarlet ; shape and freeness of bloom is
the same. It will, without doubt, become the most popular Dahlia (particularly" with the ladies), in
every garden, that has ever been offered to the public. 10.*?. each.

REFLEXED DAHLIA.

F. STANDLEY — We have now so perfected this new class that next year we hope to show"

them and introduce some tine varieties, and the time is not far distant when they will also take their
])laces side by side with the show varieties. In our opinion, thev are certainly as useful and
charming as the large varieties. The judges at the hJational Show aw’arded this a First-Class
Certificate. Colour scarlet, shaded with vellow, and must class with a lovely salmon red ; capital
habit, very free, and for garden and cut-flower decoration, a gem. 3s.

GRAND NEW FUCHSIAS (Sankey).

It is itli ituK'h j)leasure we announce that we again have the honour of sending out Dr. Sankev’s
c-Ktraordinary seedlings. Just as we predicted, when we distrilmted Ids first one, that such an
e.\])crienced hyl>ridiser and lover of flowers would produce some wonderful kinds, and the four flowers
facsimiles as near as man can make them to give an idea of what they are really like, these flowers
" * iacltsia, and we hope will raise It u]i to a higher jiitch of attraction than

ever before attained, for they are certainly most e.\traonlinarv ; and Mr. ,1. Weston’s new white, is the
most lovely model-like Fuchsia yet seen, and will become a gem of gems in the light varieties.

EYNSFORD GEM (AVeston) — White tube and sepals, which are stout and broad, and fine
leathery texture; waxy ivory-white, corolla fiery rosy lake colour, pefals stout and well expanded,
and IS, without doubt, the loveliest reflexed Fuchsia iu cultivation ; strong and free. No. 1, o.s. each.

Again tills year our collection and two houses of .seedlings were heyond all (piestion the grandest of
the grand floral sights ever beheld. .Shaiie, size, and lirilliancy of colours, together with their
cx(|uisitely defined intense coloured lines, batHe all description. Some may ask. •‘How, on earth,
has Messrs. Camiell attained this near perfection strain ? ” Well, first we have for years collected
tlie new ones from all sources, and the.se we have scientifically hybridised with similar coloui's and
shapes, and floner 2.000 seedlings yearly, sacrificing 90 per cent, from the best. We ])ro])agate
rapidly, and, offer the bulbs and seeds from them. There can be no better.

NEW PERPETUAL-FLOWERING ZONAL
PELARGONIUMS.

(SEE COLOURED PLATE.;

The three finest and most invaluable. l’erpetual-l«'lowerin" Double Zonal Pelarftoniiims ever
introdneed ; in fact they are, as it were, a national gift to the jieople.

SWANLBV UOUnr.E WIUTE.

SWANLEY DOUBLE WHITE — Witliont seeing one would scarcely believe the dwarf
growth and froeness in flowering of this wonderful variety. It belongs to the dwarf section of Zonals
which have been introdneed these ten ycar.s, dark dense green leaves throwing up nnnicrons trusses
of the purest white at every joint, and continues to do so all through the year, winter in particular.
For cut flowers it can beat be described by saying, “ it is an ever-blooniing’Geraniuin of the’greatest
value for the production of white flower.a at all seasons ever seen, entirely beating all other kinds
of this colour.” Also known as Cuintes.te >S. IHscrnier, 2s. Gtl. each.

GOLDPIHDER — W. B. Miller, Esq., Kamsgate, the greatest living raiser of Zonals, suggests
this name on account of its distinct yellow shaded scarlet colour, and because he is sure, from its
perfection and distinctness, that it would bring in tbe gold ; again, its colour somewhat approaches
that of gold. It is the loveliest of all yellow-shaded scarlet Geraniums in cultivation, and a stamling
variety for many years. Its habit and freeness are so good that it renders one of the loveliest of its
class. 5s. each.

CAMELEON — Tbe best an<l loveliest striped flow'ers ever introduced; habit dwarf, very rarely
higher than sLx inches from the pot, small dense green leaves, and abundant bloomer. It is remark-
able for its dwarfness ami its change in the ground colour from a bright rose-purple to a soft mauve-
rose, and on the sanie ])lant we have other trusses of a bright lake ro.sy red. Its whole character is
such as all must admire and appreciate for its e.xtreme bcautv, tlistinctncss, and wonderful trusses :
a real novelty and a gem. 2s. lid. each. The sec of three for'Ss.

GRAND NEW ZONAL PELARGONIUMS.

Mr. D. Windsor, who was a raiser of the Zonal in the time of, and before, the late
Dr. Denny, has continued it ever since with unabated vigour : many of the standing varieties are of
his raising. Eor the production of a ]>nre white one he has done more than all other hybridisers, to
wash out, as it were, all colour to give us a good white, which was the work of nearly thirty-five
years. Ilis Queen of the Belfanssind Queen of the Whites J mproved >xta splendiil kinds. The following
will be found to eclipse all others, and will bo highly treasured by lovers of winter flowering
Zonals. We had them surprisingly beautiful all last winter, far in advance of any ever before seen in
shape, colour, size, and substance. See Keport of the National Chrysanthemum Show, in November,
and the many other reports, describing them as a wonderful floral sight.

MRS. KEELER (IMPROVED) — It is nearly 20 years since we had any advance in this
lovely colour, which were J/rs. Keeler and J/rs. IF. Paul, beautiful pink colour ; the one now

pink colour, large blotch of white in base of upper petals; very dwarf and free. 5.v.

GRAND NEW ZONAL PELARGONIUMS.

(Miller.)

The following arc from the seed-bed of W. B. Miller, Esq., of Kamsgate, who has done, and is
doing more to improve the whole family of Pelargoniums than any other living man. His hybrids
this sea.son are very lovely, and in several sections are carrying us far forward, and all who purchase
will find even better than we give that gentleman credit for,

LOVE GOLD-A fine improvement on New Guinea and all yellow tinted scarlets, and the
nearest to yellow yet seen ; fine pips and truss ; a grand variety, quite an acquisition. Is. 6V/. each.

NEW CRIMSON BEDDING PELARGONIUM.

SAM JACOBY (Miller) — Two or three shades darker than the renowned Henry Jaeohy, and
when comparing these two varieties in beds a short ilistance from each other, the verdict of alt is that
the one now offered is considerably darker, denser, and richer. Sam has a fine halut, and gives every
promise of assuming the “head” of this beautiful class and colour; very free and effective. G.v. each.

perfection of Primulas, and our standing varieties the finest in existence. Box of blooms
sent to any address for Six Stamps.

“Cannell possesses the finest single sorts in the trade; their White I’eufection is matchless.” —
The Garden.

“ So good ns to well deserve a first-class certificate.” — Gardener.i’ Magazine.

“ CanneU’s I’rimnlas, 30 plants, rare quality, and very high cultural merit .” — Tkdhj Chiviii'cle.

The Four most popular and well-known, the best new and useful Primulas

ever offered.

All who have seen our exhibits for many years past will acknowledge that we have both grown
and shown the finc.st ])lants ever seen, and jiroduced more new and standing varieties than any other
firm. Our sevcial Houses all through the Winter, both single and double, is a sight not equalled
in the world — Swanley White, Ked, Purple, and Blue, improve year by year, until they nearly
approach jierfection.

IMPROVEMENT — The highest bright-red, is a grand march onwards of the Sw.anley-Ked
type, habit, size, substance, and fiery colour of its flowers far excels all others; habit and frcene.ss,
together with its line flowers, constitute it a gem. First-Class Certificate. [See Coloured I’late.)
Per pkt., 4.«.

BRAID’S SEEDLING (Auriculse flora), exhibited last year, was unanimously awarded a
First-Class Certifleate — a real break from anything previously seen; its distinct rich, bronze, starry.
Auricula centre lends one, even the most practical, to suggest tlmt the blood of the Auricula is in it.
so striking is its distinctness, fine habit, colour (like the ordinary Magna Coccinca Primula), and
glaring cejttrc, that it stops everybody on first seeing it, and the g« neral exclamation is — “ This is a
new break, and the first of a new class.” (.See Coloured riate.) Ter pkt., 2s, GiL

SWATfLEY G-IAWT — All lovers of Primulas will remember tlie pride and pleasure they first
bestowed on the good old Magna Coccinea ; the colour of this now offered is similar, hut brighter,
flowers consiflcrably larger, and overlapping gigantic truss; strong, dwarf habit, is a wonderful
advance on the old style of Primulas, and for general decoration, rough, quick market treatment, is
far the best of this family ever sent out. Per pkt., 4s. (6Vc Coloured Plate.)

( XX )

WHITE I’EKFECTION.

WHITE PEREECTION — The loveliest and the most perfect in habit, flower, and freeness,
and stands at the head of this class. Last February (1887) it was exhibited in between two which
were expected to excel it, but it far-distanced them by long odds, and confirmed the fact that no
other variety raised is near its equal. First-Class Certificate. Per pkt., 2s. C(/. 6s. each,

“Me.ssrs. Cannell & Sons have done wonders in selecting and improving varieties .” — Garitin
Work, i)th July, 1887.

“ Fine Primulas. — Messrs. Cannell, well-knoivn skilful cultivators of Primulas, have sent us some
w’onderfully fine blooms of these popular flowers. The lighter-coloured flowers are particularly
good, indeed, we have never seen better, and the dark ones rich, the whole showing the excellence
of their strain .” — Garden Work, 5th Feb., 1887.

“Braid’s Seedling was of exceptional merit; brilliant carmine, with central zone of entire
crimson; one of the best sorts we have seen.” — Garden.

“ Colour, rich rosy-red, with a large crimson centre.” — Afayaziiw.

“ As far as we know, a new departure, being what florists call Auricula-eyed ; colour, crimson-
jnirple, yellow eye, surrounded with an angular liand of dark rubra red .” — Garden World.

“Mr. Braid was awarded the First Prize .” — Journal of Horticulture.

Mr. Thomas Hallett, Fox Street, Bridgewater, October 2.'W, 1887.

I kuow from experience that your firm can be relied on for plants and seeds.

Mr. II. IIai.cii, Woodbridge. February, 1887.

The seeds I had of you last year were good, the I’rimulas were a splendid strain. I took the
prize with them at the Woodbridge Cbrysanthemum Show in November, and first prize for the
Balsams I had from you, the best Balsams I ever saw.

.1. Wnioi.EY, Jun., Esq., Ilolbcck, Windermere, Ajiril AOtli, 1887.

Plants safe to hand, very good, as usual, and remarkably well packed. Cinerarias, both double
and single, from your seeds have been very good ; Bcaconsfield Primro.ses very bcautifnl, and (|uitc
cipial to your coloured plate ; the Pelargoniums obtained from yon have been splendid — never saw
any so good in this district.

NEW DWARF DOUBLE TROPi^OLUM.

“ DARKlJfESS” — Many will remember the tieliglit mul surprise when Hermann Grasshoff was
first seen, for its fine, perfect, double rose-like flowers. This is in every way similar, with a colour
of lovely dark maroon-crimson ; dwarf, stiff growth, coming a mass* of bloom. A plant soon
increased, and sells at first sight. Is. each ; in May, Gd. each, 5 . 9 . doz.

NEW SINGLE VIOLET, RAWSON’S WHITE.

Ilivery improvement in Violets is a blessing for all the world, rich and poor, black or white,
and the most ignorant pick the first Violet and enjoy its lovely odour, and is often sent from friend
lo friend as a token of love and respect. We are so impressed with the importance of Violets that
we have now near on 2,000 seedlings, and we hope soon to have some lovely additional charms for
our highly esteemed customers all over the world. This Violet is accurately shown in the engraving.
Raised by the lute Vicar of Bromley, Kent, now of Falbarrow, Windermere, one of the 'cutest of all
amateurs. Its habit is very free, has sturdy foliage, dense green, round clumps, and remarkably
hardy, stands the severest winter without the least injury, and when in fitll flower presents a surface
of bloom above its foliage ; at first sight at a distance it suggests itself as being like a dwarf Lolielia.
So profusely does it flower that it becomes one sheet of white, and will eventually be used as a bedding
plant. Its flower is slightly tinged M'itli j)ink in the early part of the season, but becomes whiter as
the temperature gets warmer, and it throws more bloom ; certainly mtich the best white single Violet
in circulation. 1a-. Gd. each ; 12a. per dozen.

A. C. Harcoukt, Esq., Lewisham Road, S.E., August 30t/i, 1887.

I have tried your real Manure for flowers this year by the side of others, and none is equal to it
for nutrition and for improving the brightness of the bloom.

S. P. Brittain, Esq., Fairfield, Buxton, 25M Marc/tf 1887.

I consider your Real Manure the best thing that can be used in a greenhouse. I have tried it
upon different kinds of plants with the best results.

port wine colour, shaded with blackish maroon, changing to a bright ruby-claret. I he flowers arc
very large, full and well built, each petal, which is of great substance, standing out conspicuously ;
coHstfint and very sweet scented. This Hose is a fine autumnal bloomer, and a splendid exhibition
variety ; the foliage is large and massive, and the growth very vigorous. We believe Sir Rowland
Hill to be the darkest Rose ever yet raised. Awarded the National Rose Society’s Gold Medal, at
Edinburgh.

favourable CLIMATE and SOIL than any other county in England (perhaps even
in Europe) for the production and RIPENING of Seeds, also in COLOURING,
BRIGHTNESS, PLUMPNESS — the Force of Life or Germinating Power stronger
to withstand unfavourable weather, and far more prolific . Grown on a calcareous

GARDENERS’ MOTTO.

‘ Work oil, hope on, ami he ye sure.
Self-help is noble schoolinj; :

Yon do your best ami leave the rest
To God Almighty’s ruling.”

A few Important words to all our
Friends and Customers.

E are delighted to say that we possess the most seleet ami extensive collection of
FLOlil^TS’ FLOWEllS in Europe, an end it has always been oiir ambition to
attain. Commanding as we do as tine a site for a nursery as could possibly be obtained,
with air Ihoronghly free from all the im])uritics of town .smoke, we arc enabled to
give onr cnstomers the bcnelit of vigorous, healthy, well-grown country plants, the
importance of which cannot well be over estimated, especially if it he a desideratum
to produce show flowers, or to attain perfection in their growth; whilst to those
whose greenhouses 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 F’lowers” is admitted to contain, at all
seasons of the year, the finest amt most complete display of flowers to be found (Orchids excepted),
and it is one of the sights of London, to which all arc welcome.

m

The proximity of the rail to the nur.sery — the London, Chatham, and Dover Eailwav Co. having
tlieir station in a corner of onr grounds — is worthy of attention, ns this line being in immediate
connection with all the others out of London, enables us to ensure rapid transit to all parts.

We ourselves arc passionately fond of flowers, and we find the greatest possible gratification in
their growth; we thus make it a hobbj', and no pains or ex])ense are spared to have nothing
Imt the very best strains in cultivation, the result being an almost unique collection of
plants, ami the largest stock in the trade. Our greatest ]>ride is in the excellence of our flowers
(for which we 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 im])rovements effected by culture upon the raw material
of nature.

As many as a hundred boxes by ]iost leave Swanley some days, and strange and doubtful as it may
a])pear. upwards of 400.000 labels are used yearly'. The whole machinery of our nursery is con-
structed to carry on a laree 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 everv lover of flowers will

them, and we promise that he shall not depart without seeing something interesting.

Although every care will be taken in the packing and sending of plants, seeds, &c., risk
of every de.scription must be borne by the purchaser immediately they are delivered
to the Kailway Clompany.

Every article is charged at the very lowest price, therefore no credit can be given. Our object
is to give the rcndv-niouev buyers the advantages' they are really entitled to. It may happen that
prices lower than ours may sometimes he (|uotcd. 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
arc only procured by unceasing laliour and care.

“ We are in receipt of twenty varieties of Hybrid Primroses from Mr. Thomas Pennefather, Elstern-
wick, who raised them from seed received from Messrs. Cannell & Sons. The strain is known as the
Beaconsfield Primroses, The flowers are exceedingly beautiful, and, owing to their being from a
cross between the Polyanthus and the Primrose, most of them are variegated with two or
three colours, some showing their Primrose and others the Polyanthus origin; many of the latter
being of exceedingly rich colours, while one in particular is as finely laced as any florist's flower.
Mr. Pennefatlier linds them very hardy, and by fertilisation has raised others from them which are
now commencing to flower, and are, apparently, also very handsome.”

the flowers. They continue to bloom in an ordinary greenhouse all the winter, and if on the 1st of
May they are planted out, they will form the most continuous flowering shrubs until the frost
comes, when they can he easily lifted or propagated by cuttings taken from the hard wood early ip
September, and struck in a mild bottom heat.

gently until they get into full growth, and after
flowering gradually dry them. The ordinary

account;

Ballymena, Ireland, January, 1887.

The civility of your communication seems to me congenial with the character of your employment,
the atmosphere and operations connected with a garden ap|)earing somehow to exercise a kindly
genial influence on those engaged in them. In my drudgery here, in teaching hoys what
Xenophon and Virgil wrote some two thousand years ago on planting, sowing, &c., I see some
evidence of such a tone among gar eners of tlie olilcn time ; and to meet with such fresher illustration
of the prmciiile as is furnished in this recent note of yours aflonls a pleasure worthy of due aeknow-
ledgmcut on the part of yours faithfully, Rouekt Kino.

■\Ull frames cf these are
amonj^st the most charm-
iii*^ sights we know of,
and are certain to attract
notice from those most oi)Iivloim
to the beauties of dowers, their
perfect form and wonderfiil
colouring rendering them the
cynosure of all eyes; whilst, in
addition to their great loveli-
ness, they possess tlm* great
desideratum in flowers, long-
lasting blossoms. Of a very
velvety substance, the flowers
are as pcrfecftly circular in out-
line as if drawn with compasses.

To grow them it is necessary to
have a frame about four feet
wide, the sides of which hang
on hinges, the object of this
being to let them have ])lenty
of air. It is only necessary to
close the frame in very severe
weather, or when the wind is
vci*y keen ; andinthislatter case,
only the windward side should
he shut. The j)lants should be
potted once a-year in two-year
old rotten turfy brown loam,
with a little decayed cow-
manure added — July being the
best month for the operation,
at which time the plants can he
I)roi)agatcd by division. After
potting they should he kept
shaded for a while, a little stale
wliitewash smeared on the glass
being as effective a way as any.

Do not let the plants get too
dry at any time ; and it is advis-
able to slightly stir the surface
of the soil, hut not so as to dis-
turb the roots. It is advisable
to place the pots on a good firm surface of cimlers, so that worms cannot work their way into them.
If attacked by greenfly, these should either be brushed off or the plants fumigated. These points
attended to, and the ordinary requirements of any florists’ flowers, with which all gardeners are
acquainted, are all that is necessary to procure a real treat for three weeks— a mere nothing
compared with the many expensive and troublesome hobbies we see indulged in on all sides. It is
greatly in the favour of Sliow Auriculas that they always realise a good price, even when sold by
public auction.

white through rose an<i pink to intense crimson and fiery scarlet, and
from the deepest yellow to tawny brown and brilliant orange.

It is the eustom in the trade, immediately they raise a good variety,
to hybridise it and get seed, from which they get bulbs, whieli they sell
as identical with the parent; but it is a notorious fact that tlieoffsj>ring
raised hy this means are rarely as good as the original, so that tlie
result is very <lisappoinfing to purchasers. We. on the contrary, have
learned by experience to propagate direct from the choice kind with-
out a second generation intervening, so that our friends can rely abso-
lutely on obtaining plants true to name.

We have much the largest, finest, and best kept collection in the
world, and ultliough we were the first that 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 wlio made their strain more public. This is quite a mistake — we are far in advance of
any other grower cf this class, and the last two years have made such immense strides, both in
hybridising, raising seedlings of sterling merit ami growing them, that Mr. Baines (assuredly a
good and im]>artial judge), reporting for the Gardeners* Chroniidc, speaks {)f them in these words; —
“Some of the doubles are as large as moderate-sized Pjeonies, and others with prominent
characters, dowers made up of a succession of petals, resemble a well-formed cupped Rose.
The singles {City of London), immense flowers. I measured this flower, it was fully six inches across.
Khuj of (he Bvtfonias^ intense deej) crimson, darker and brighter than Zonal Rehirgonium {Henry
Jacoby). Neither their size or colour has ever been etjualled.’* 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. Kyen such expert
critics as Messrs. (Jumbleton and Poii have described our Begonias as wonderful. We invite all
wlio take an interest in them to visit us any time from June to Ogtoher.

Their culture is of the simplest. Pot up the tubers in January, with the crowns just al)ove the soil,
ilia compost made ii}> of three parts peat and siind 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 fi, 7, or S-inch pots, using more loam in the compost than
when firet jiotted. They will speedily commence to show blossom, and wlien one or two feet high,
supply them with our Real Manure (see directions at end of Catalogue), and he 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.

DOUBLE BEGONIAS.

M ITHERTO nearly all our varieties have been collected from France and Germany, hut we have
succeeded now in raising many very choice varieties ourselves. The eight houses we devote to
Douhleand Single Begoniius will he found to contain a greater selection of colour and better grown plants
than those of any other firm, a fact which is vouched for by our customci's having taken probably
twice as many prizes for this family. We have had some blooms far finer than the engravings seem
to indicate, the flowers we have exhibited having caused surprise and iistoni.shment to all who beheld
them. Mounted on wire separately, they form charming ornaments for button- holes or bonqnets,
whilst their lasting properties render them desirable for vases or table decorations. Their culture is
just the «ime as for the single kinds, and no better a«lvioc can be offered as regain’s t!iem than in the
preccding*artiele.

'I'liere is a j^rcat novelty and peculiarity in the
structure of the flowers of both single ami double
llegonias. 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
arc two female flowers to every male.

looked upon in a sj)irit of incredulity, and therefore it i.s likely that we inav be thought guilty of
exaggeration in styling this the plant of the future ; but those who have known ns and followed' the
many sterling new ])lants we have been fortunate enough to introduce, and have proved the truth of
our statement, will aequit ns of any such tiling. We are sure that this plant is destined to be seen in
every window as tommonly as Geraniums, and for this reason : it is easily propagated. The tubers
may be cut to eyes like Dahlias ; and as to culture, it may be said to cultivate itself. 'I'he potato-like
root should be jiotted in a 5-in. ]iot, in a compost similar to that already recommended for Begonias,
and placed in a cool greenhouse near the glass, when it w’ill grow into a me.st charmingly -shapeil
plant, which seems to defy the attacks of either insects or di.sease. We mention that we .sta"ed
twenty-four plants at the Royal Botanical Show in 1885, for which w'C were awarded a First-Cfass
Certificate as a proof of its exceeding beauty, and Mr. Goldring told us ho was so struck with its
compact habit and the certainty of its becoming a general favourite, that he returned three times
to look at it, thinking it one of the best novelties of the Show. Connoisseurs are apt to decry all
ilouble Begonias, the blooms of which are not rus large as a I’aiony ; and whilst agreeing with them
up to a certain point, we can see real beauty in a gracefully-formed jilant smothered with lovely
blossoms, and we arc sure that time will see Lou/.i Bonc/iel in every collection, thus proving the
correctness of our prophecy.

BEGOXIAS.

Our Eiglit houses of Begonias last summer were unquestionably the finest sight ever seen of this family.

A model Beijonia as grown in our I^urserg.

Mr. J W. Taylor. >(1, Ann Street, Dundee, Ortuher iil.'t, 1887.

I gained first prize with your Single Begonias, both in Downficld and Dundee Shows, and there
was not one at either that could come within three inches of the size of my flowers. I have
taken first jirize from all the amateurs for three years. I was also first for Bronzes and Fuchsias, all
got from yon. My collection of Begonias from you is a show in themselves, and a talk over the
country. Several gardeners, who have a good collection themselves, came a great distance to see
them, but all admitted they had nothing to be compared to mine.

the wonderful perfection to which we have brought the Single Begonias. 2^ow we have colours
of the deepest maroon crimson to bright scarlet, even exceeding in colour the Zonal Pelargoniums •
in fact, far too rich for the eye to rest on for more than a mere glance. The deepest rose ami
the clearest yellow, and many intermediate colours — flowers stretching out nearly seven inches

the oj)inion of all cenmoisseurs who have seen tliem, far aliesul of all others : and, without doubt, we /
have made great strides. What surprising alterations are brought about, even in a short space of
time I Not more than two or three years ago, when wc sent out a set called Six-inch Begonias, it
was laughed at as incredulous: some now boiist of their flowers being above 7 inches across. Our
Experimental Flower (iarden— an acre of onr Nursery and our eight houses — full of them, lias been

We are now raising seedlings by thousands, and the result is, from our scientific
hybridising, we have many of the finest (voted Eirst-Class Certificates, and universally
pronounced the finest doubles ever raised). We have at least 50,000 various bulbs, and all
who wish to introduce a great feature into their Conservatories or Gardens should have our
seedling doubles.

Sekd Sowino and Seedi.ino Kaisino. — 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 se])aration,
and then fill to within a quarter of an inch from the top of light, fine-sifted soil, iirevion.sly charred
or burnt, so mnch the better, .so as to kill all animal and vegetable life; press down level, and on ir
sprinkle the seed ; ]>lace 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 ]daces. Keep in total darkness, with ))aper or glass over
the toj), in a temperature of 00" to 70"; a.s soon a,s they show signs of life above the .soil gradually
ex])ose, and as soon as they have root.s a qtiarter 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 must
not be handled. Have a wine-glass of water, dip a i)cncil in it (use it a.s a dibber), and by this means
these small seedlings will hang to it, and ciln be easily placed into the hole ])reviously made for them,
gently ]>re.ss down, and place in a similar temperature for a few days afterwards ; gratlually e.xposo and
reduce from (i0° to 50°, and keep near the glass. The sun, after February, mtist not be allowed to
shine long on Begonias under glass, as they dislike extreme heat, sun, and cold ; they delight in and
must be kept at a medium temperature.

WINTER-FLOWERING AND EVERGREEN VARIETIES.

Our 100-ft. house la,st autumn and winter was a grand sight. No other kind can lav claim to so
many advantages, as a winter-flowering plant, as this class, and none are more useful than the
summer-flowering varieties.

20!). ARGYROSTIGMA ELEGAN-
TISSIMA — Miiculnht class, but foliage denticu-
lated and more distinctly .spotted with silver;
of a free and vigorous habit.

210. ARGYROSTIGMA GIG ANTE A —
Producing much larger foliage, hut not denticu-
lated like the above — in fact, this variety may

truly be called a Maculuta, with the silver s[)Ots
more distinct.

211. ASCOTENSIS--()nc of the finest varie-
ties. It produces large clusters of a beautiful
pink colour. In a warm and suitable climate, a
gem for bedding ])urposes.

I just arrived here a few days ago from Belfast, in time to see two large tin boxes that hail come
from Mesi-srs. Cannell.of " The Ilomeof Flower-s,” Swanley, Kent. One contained monster blooms of
SiiKjle Tuberous Begonias, and the other of IJuuhlvs. As I have more than once stated in yours and
the' London gardening journals, these flowers are in many cases well done around here : but all
who have seen them admit that for size, colour, substance, and shape, -they never saw finer than
Cannell’s. When I was visiting, in ’78,and returning from Paris, Mr. Sedcu thought a Begonia one
inch across remarkable; yet, in that short space, here are Singles improved to (ii inchc.s.

holes, houquet.s, or table decoration ; a spray of it is sure to be most ])rominent and pleasing,
and the odour of several kinds is deliciously refreshing, and if well grown thfcy will more or
I less continue flowering nine months out of the year. They only need the ordinary course of
cultivation of the winter-flowering Zonal Pelargonium; hitherto they have been treated ns a stove
plant, whereas they only need a temperatnre not higher than 50“ or 00° ; and in the summer to have
every attention like a specimen Chrysanthemum, and on the first appearance of cold weather to be
taken in the house, and when growing and flowering to be supjdied with liquid manure occasionally.

. Ijrl^lHESE give a very beautiful and tropical aspect to pleasure grounds, by their stately growth
and broad, massive foliage, relieved by rich crimson-scarlet, orange, or yellow Howors
during the late summer months; their foliage, comprising various shades of rich green,
glaucous and chocolate-crimson lenf -tints, fits them admirably for effective groups, their appearance
rendering them a striking contrast to other plants.

They are also invaluable for large pot plants as portable specimens in pleasure-ground decoration,
and equally so for summer groups in large conservatories, in which their great diversity of foliage
appears to advantage, and they are very ornamental for any purpose. The following are' some of
the best : —

IRIDIPLORA NOUTONI — Produces magnificent large flowers, three times the size of
the ordinary kinds, and brilliant in colour ; grand ornamental foliage and flowering plant.
2s. Gd. each.

IRIDIPLORA EHMANNI — Leaves large, oval in form, stout. an<l a thick mid-rib ;

IRIDIPLORA GLADIOLIPLORA — Plowe.'s are very large, growing erect instead of

IRIDIPLORA GUTTERMANNI — Large rosy buff flowers, beautiful deep green foliage,
and in growth resembles the well-known Musa ensete; a flue variety. 3.s. (>;/.

For conservatory, porches, or standing in tubs, pots, &c., about a garden they arc grand
objects; and for beds or single clumps, are the finest flowering varieties of this family we
ever had, and are (]Hite in favour throughout the Continent.

THE BEST STANDING VARIETIES IN CULTIVATION.

Yes, loyely Carnations! No matter who, all like this flower; yet how seldom we see them in
gardens. If once planted in ordinary ground they will grow. Cut out the flower-spike in Angiist,
cut a slit half-way through the wood of the side-shoots, two inches under the lowest leaf hearing the
cut, dividing and replanting in good well-dug ground any time before Christinas, and another year’s
fine bloom is almost a certainty. For exhibition, they have to be planted in eight or nine inch jiots,
and placed under glass when in flower; their greatest enemy is wireworm, which must be destroyed.

ILLUSTRATIVF. AND COMPLETE DESCRIPTIVE LIST

OF AM. THE BEST AND THE BEST KEPT COLLECTION OF

CHRYSANTHEMUMS,

And How to Grow, Dress, and Show them in Perfection.

^EVEK were Chrysanthcmnips more generally grown, and to such perfection, as now.
O-'-ijlW urc siiringing up in nearly every town ; and to meet the demand for jilants and

cuttings, we have devoted quite three quarters of an acre to their (iroduction, and, in fact,
allotted a separate portion of our Nursery to their special culture; and, as near as they
can be counted, not less than 8,000 ]>lants are in 4-inch pots for immediate sale. There can be no
doubt about their being correctly named — we have five houses (100 feet each) specially for them to
develop their blooms. At the projicr seatson we have a display consisting of all the best and most
distinct kinds, which forms unquestionably the finest and most complete collection of this family
ever brought together, and will, of course, include, like all our collections of florist flowers, the
original species to the latest new and improved kinds. Eor comparison, throughout November, this
will be found an opportunity such as has never before been offered to lovers of this genus. The
following brief cultural directions, if carried out, will enable anyone to grow plants similar to the
cngravitigs.

We liave long iircmised to introduce a new way of putting up cut blooms of Chrysanthemums for
Exhibition, but, of course, said all, such a way would never look well, but admitted that it -would
be worth trying, and also said he would be a bold fellow who dared to venture in public with a
de])arture from the ordinary and original style. We determined, therefore, to present six bo.xes.

feet long, 18 inches wide, as per engraving above, before the Eloral Committee at the Royal
llorticultural Society, and to our delight and surprise before we had completed staging the flowers,
all otir Floricultural critics spoke aloud that our new system was the right and proper one, and there
and then unanimously resolved that we should be jiresented with the Gold Medal — but we never got
it — probably from the scarcity of material to make it.

Shirlcv Hibberd, Es(p, Gardeners^ Magazuie, sjieaks thus; — ^“At the last meeting of the Floral
Committee, Messrs. Caniiell & Sons showed a lot of cut flowers of all tlie sections mounted on
green moss in the manner of roses. About nine-tenths of the cultivators of these flowers would
find it impcssible to follow the excellent example, but the practical lesson has its value, for if green
moss is not everywhere obtainable there may be some suitable substitutes in the world that town
amateurs could secure for the purpose. For the ])resent we must jog trot with our green boards,
and keep the green mo.ss in mind as a pleasant thing to dream about.”

At the great National Show at the Royal Atiuarium, where we had exhibits extending 40 ft. in
length, representing all the sections of Chrv.santhemums, the entire public was in favour of the
system, the mechanical formal green flat boards of the neighbouring exhibit being frequently
contrasted with ours. We all know that large glaring flowers without green lose half

Exhibition blooms (cut) are very expensive to grow, and good flowers eannet be supplied less

their charm, wliereas hy this system a natural green can he added and their own lovely
foliage can he shown as well, which gives the whole an exquisite appearance, and all societies must
eventually offer prizes for the best blooms set up in a rose box in this manner ; a box 4 ft. 6 in. long,
back G in. high, front 4 in. high, made to exhibit twenty-four roses, will stage either of the follow-
ing — twelve incurved (three to four blooms to the bunch), twclved recurved (ditto), twelve varieties of
Japanese (ditto), twelve large Anemones (ditto), eighteen Pompons or eighteen Pompon Anemones
(ditto). Cut the flowers, and wire each separately, so that the blooms can be faced in any direction,
hunching three together with a bit of moss between ; so that they are a nice distance from bloom
to bloom, and arranged to height, colour, and size. It will he nccesssary to have zinc tubes IJ
inches in diameter, and about 4 inches long, with a flat foot stand to keep them erect, and place them
in accordance with the height of the box, so that when all is done they show one continuous face,
every flower in its proper position; one half-inch cut too high or too low will destroy its artistic
arrangement. When carried out well, such an exhibit will be the pride of the show. A thick
circular piece of cardboard should be placed at the hack of the flowers of the Japanese, large
Anemones, and incurved flowers to hold up their petals ; that is, cut a round the size required, and
make a hole in the centre of the card for the stem, cut to the outside, and pin in the shape of a lamp
shade, with a hit of raffia round the stem, which will hold it up in its place ; this, together with some
nice stub moss, for the surface of box, is all that is necessary ; the other few details can be seen to
as it is being proceeded with.

For Bo.x, Tubes, Wire, and Scissors, send for particulars.

HO-W TO ©ROW FOR ©RCORATSOlf .

Cuttings must be taken off and rooted in a single pot in
January and gradually grown on in a cold greenhouse or
frame, and as they gain size so they must be shifted into
larger pots and placed back in a frame with all the light
and air possible, but frost must not touch them. If for
specimen plants, they must have the extreme points taken
out with the point of a knife when about 9 inches high, so
as to make side shoots and form a good bushy plant. The
first fine weather in May place them out of doors.

It now matters little what system of training may he
pursued — whether the plants be trained to a single stem,
formed into a hush, or be compressed into a pancake, as
was the fashion with Pompons — the following general
rules must be observed if the best results are to be
secured. First, there must be no crowding the plants
together; but, on the contrary, each must stand with
the full light shining upon it, and without the branches
of any other touching it. To effect this the best plan
is to plunge the plants about half the depth of the pots
in coal ashes, in rows a sufficient distance apart to admit
of a man passing between them without injuring them.

Care should be taken that the ])lants do not root through
the pots, for if they do the check they will sustain will be
very injurious to the development of the flowers ; therefore,
to prevent this, it will be necessary to move the pots once,
if not twice a week, or, to save time, place each pot on a
piece of slate or tile. Secondly, the plantsshould be trained
without delay ; that is, each branch must receive the sup-
port of a neat stake of sufficient length to answer the
purpose when the plant is full grown. The arrangement
of the branches must be systematically done, and the
ligatures must be neat but not tight. Thirdly, water
must be regularly supplied, so that the plants never know
the want of it — that is, they must never flag — and manure
water may be given once or twice a week without the
slightest fear of injury. The Chrysanthemum is a most
voracious feeder ; guano in the proportion of one ounce to each gallon of water, or cow manure and
soot made into liquid will aid, but our “ Real Manure” will be found much the best to bring up the
colours and size, and should be used during October twice a week ; this will assist in carrying all

exhibitors to victory. Of course, as the plants make vigorous growfli, from April to the 1st of July ,
the longest shoots must have their points taken out, to make them bushy ; and, in the course of time,
all will begin to show their flower buds.

To secure these being of the finest quality, the conditions which we have laid down must be strictly
observed — there must be perfect maturation of the wood ; for without ripe wood there can he no fine
flowers. Nothing is more common than to hear people exclaim, “ IJeur me ! what splendid flowers
you have ; my plants are much larger than yours, but the flowers are comparatively small.” This
arises out of that little wonl “ maturation ” during August — well ripened wood and large leathery
leaves — from this the flowers are built up. All Chrysanthemums, however, j)roduce many more flower
buds than they can bring to good form and proper size ; and hence it is necessary to reduce the number,
so as to concentrate the energies of the plant in the few retained. To obtain fine blooms, strong
growth is indispensable, and from these strong shoots at the time they are formed all side growth must
be pinched off to throw all strength into two or three buds. No insect or mildew must be allowed to
touch it. About the middle or end of August, if closely tvatched, in the axle of the shoot a small
bud will be observed, and if the season is late, and the show early, it will be wise to nip out all side
shoots gradually and force all the growth into those buds ; thus, if monster blooms are desired, one
should be left on each shoot of the large-flowering kinds, two or even more on the hybrid and
])ompons. Select those favourably situated for display, and then remove the others as soon as you
can get at them with a penknife or a pair of fine-pointed scissors. The sooner the wood buds are
removed after the flower buds are formed, the finer those retained will become. As the flowers
expand or show colour, the supidy of m.anure water must be decreased in strength and quantity ; the
])lants must not on any account know the want of water, us the loss of sujtply for a single day will
undo the work of the whole season. The best place to bloom the Chrysanthemum is in a light and
airy greenhouse. The plants should be taken in upon the approach of frost ; but beyond protecting
them from it or cold cutting winds, should be kept as cool as possible through their blooming, which
will prolong the season as well as add to the beauty of the flowers. The Chrysanthemum is not much
affected by disease; sometimes the mildew may attack it and also the green fly audthrips. The latter
may be removed by fumigation, and the former by dusting with sulphur ; brown or black is the best
and cheapest. Follow these directions, and fine flowers must be the result, such as arc seldom seen.
To grotv Standards, a strong offset with a good root must be got early in the season, and the side eyes
at the base of each leaf must bo taken out, until it attains the reipiired height, then bent down, and
the side shoot trained to a wire frame 12 inches in diameter ; should any of the petals become loose
and disarranged or otherwise different from the engraving, they must be ]>laced gently in position by
means of a pair of ivory or wood tweezers, and the flowers on the plant should be made perfect and
like those for cut blooms.

ARRANGING PETALS IN CHRYSANTHEMUMS FOR EXHIBITION
(CALLED DRESSING).

Those who dread and despair of the trouble, and fancy they cannot learn, will rail against the
practice and its fairness, yet it has become the general and a chief merit that all iucurved flowers
should be presented as even and as regular in shape and size, and as widely distinct in colour as
possible — for shape see engraving. Some blooms do not require manipulation, such as Mrs. Rundle and
her sports, Mr. G. Ghnny and Mrs. Dixon, Princess of Wales and her sport, Mrs. lleale, and several
others; but to get 24 distinct varieties there is occasionally some deformity in petals, and a little
irregularity, occasionally rcfle.xed, and when so, one little bend with the tweezers guides it into the
shape retjuired. It sometimes occurs that more petals are produced than required, or a decayed one
makes the whole confused or dirty, and when so, surely there can he no more hanu removing them than
there would a troublesome tooth or combing and brushing one’s hair, for the process is virtually the same,
and so long as there is no addition to the flower, surely a little grooming in flowers may be bestowed,
which is done to every well harnessed horse. This little process, called dressing, has been so
mystified as to appear unlcarnable, whereas it can be pretty well mastered in a day ; and if a culti-
vator has any pluck and brain of bis own, he will become efficient in a season. The first lesson is to
clip off a strip of paper 3 inches long, i wide, knife in hand, pass the thumb on one side of it and the
knife on it tightly and bring it upwards, and three strokes will give you the incurve required ; then
practise on a rough old bloom, first cupping and plugging up the flowers, pulling out the green eye
or centre, ns per engraving, to the required degree of tightness to bring the petals up so as to fill in
the centre, and nearly all the dressing is done that is required. Some varieties, to get their centre
high or well up, require to have their flowers suspended when developing their blooms ; flat flowers
are very objectionable, and if this regulating and the tact and skill in growing flowers to nearly
approach perfection at our exhibitions is not adopted, many would say, “ I have flowers in my back

( 52 )

H. d^i\nell & Gfnitle.

yard as good as those ; I shall never care to see another show.” In fact, there is little or no beauty
in a loose incurved flower. The strong growth of Chrysanthemums is of the first importance, and
without blooms are full size none can be said to he good ; but with vigorous growth even some of the
old inferior varieties come splendid, and often cause a sensation, and give satisfaction under the
improved system of cultivation.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS NOT CORRECTLY NAMED.

We always hear complaints of this kind, even at the large shows, and when the judges have finished
their work ; and sometimes the complaint is justifiable. It does not follow that a judge — although
he may be a jierfectly competent one — is acquainted with every variety ; indeed, how can it be ex-
pected, with the number of new kinds introduced every year? It is, however, even with an intimate
knowledge of Chry.santhcmums, not always an easy matter to name them correctly, for this reason :
they are very s[iortive in their habit, and we have had three distinct coloured flowers on the same
plant, whilst we have also known Lord Wolscley (the result of a sport) return to its parent shade.
Many varieties assume three totally distinct characters, when half expanded, when fully so, and when
going out of blossom. This catalogue giv'es and describes the general ap])earance, and it is easy for
intermediate colours to he mistaken for similar varieties, blame being then unjustly cast upon
the nurseryman. It is the shape of the flower and the petals that must he considered before arriving
at a deeision. AVe, for our part, take the greatest care to jirevent such mishaps, having plenty of
room and convenience for keeping the different kinds separate, employing the best of men, and
keeping them constantly on this family, so as to make them intimately acquainted with each variety ;
but in the vast number we grow a mistake may arise. We, however, have such confidence in our
men, who are so familiar with Chrysanthemums, that they can name most ivarieties from their
foliage, and all from their flowers, that we warrant all we sell true to name.

I think it was in 1843 that my father took me to the first Chrysanthemum Show, held in the Corn
Exchange, Norwich, and in 1850 we came to London and resided opjiositc Forsyth’s Nursery, at
Stoke Newington. I attended for the first time in that year the Stoke Newington Show, held at the
Manor Rooms, the Crystal Falace Show, and later, the monster show at the Agricultural Hall,
Islington, and Mr. Salter’s Versailles Nursery. I have attended nearly all the Shows held since, and
1 hold the first prize ever awarded to any resident on the south side of the Thames, whilst I was the
sole founder of the Rrixton Hilt Society. I have seen the gradual rise in the cultivation of the
Chrysanthemum from the time when one bloom was .shown on a plant in a 5-in. ]>ot to the present,
when we see plants 10 feet across, consequently I have had jjrobably more to do with them than any
other grower, and am therefore able to speak about them with confidence. H. Cannki.l, sen.

Our exhibit at the National Exhibition, at the Royal Aquarium, which covered 50 feet of space,
and comprised 850 blooms, was not for competition, but it proves conclusively that nowhere nor at
anytime in the history of this flower was there a more complete stock than at the “Home of
Flowers.” The beauty of the new method of arrangement, before referred to, was fully recognised and
highly eulogised by the Press and all spectators. The judges unanimously awarded us the Silver
Medal, which is corroborative of our assertion, and wo are jiroiid to think we were successful in
making the Chrysanthemum attain a much higher and more attractive jiosition than it ever before
held.

Our stock is such as to enable us to supply well established plants of the whole 000 varieties in
November. They will then mostly be in flower, and for immediate decoration, propagation, and
correctness to name, leave nothing to be desired.

Mr. \V. L. Tomx. H. S.H. Puince Edwakd oi- Saxe Weimau, Dublin.

I have to inform you that H.S.H. the Princess of Saxe Weimar is much pleased with the Chrysan-
themums you sent — in fact, they cannot have too much praise.

J. T. Poe, Esq , Riverston, Nenagh, Ireland,

I was sorry that the Chrysanthemum Society took you away to the Aquarium when I was last at
Swanley. It was quite surprising the amount of bloom you had in the Begonia Houses at so late a
date, and many interesting seedlings too. I only wish I had seen your plants a month or six week
earlier. Nothing could be more beautiful or perfect than your double white “ Octavie” at R. II. S.
Show — only equalled by the one you figured so faithfully in this year’s Catalogue.

Mr. E. Usher, Meadow House, Cobham.

I enclose herewith P. 0. for £l Is., as per invoice, for Box of Tools for Chrysauthemums,
Thanking you very much ; 1 am more than pleased with them.

Mr. , Tames Gash, Swainston, near Newport, Isle of Wight, January, 1887.

I must tell you I was very fortunate with the cuttings from you. I took lirst at Ryde for 12

CANNELL’S grand new (JUBILEE)
CHRYSANTHEMUMS, 1887.

IJSfFREC'EmElfTKl* SiyC'CFSS.

Fourteen First-Class Certificates awarded last year for New Chrysanthemums. We felt sure that
we should succeed in raising some good seedlings, although the chance appeared a narrow one — the
number to raise and grow to get a good one being immense. These, and the ones we have imported
direct from Japan, make our list of new kinds the richest ever offered, for the first time the most
important and totally distinct to any hitherto seen in this country.

To have these well grown and shown, we offered £20 in Prizes, with the residt that at the Crystal
Palace National Chrysanthemum Society Show, Kingston, Portsmouth, and Hull, they were the
lions of the show, so much so, that both days at the Aquarium it was difficult to get even a glimpse of
them. Those notified have been awarded a First-Class Certificate, and are universally acknowledged
to be the greatest acquisitions introduced for many years.

YELLOW ETHEL, or NEW YEAR’S DAY (Edwards’ variety)— Up to the present, no
variety has proved more valuable and useful for the festive sea.son as the white, the parent of the

except colour, which is a bright yellow of a higher tone of colour than other similar sports.
Blooms of this variety commanded almost fabulous prices last Christmas ; and, without doubt, is the
best and most valuable for cutting at the shortest and New Year’s Days ever offered. Is. Crf. each.

and do not hold up their flowers well, they should be strengthened with wire.

JAPANESE CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

SECRETS IN COMPETITION.

Altlioiigli the Japanese do not require to be made as uniform as if tiiey liad been cast in one mould,
like the ineurved and recurved, yet they require similar arrangement, so that they each present a
regular and pretty form, whatever their natural shape may be. No model can be set up in this
section as the one required. Yet whatever style of twisting, curling, or recurving best suits thevariety,
so assist that growth of the flower to develo]) itself, and when done, it must be such as the eye will
cause the tongue to say, “ That is pretty ; I like that variety.” It generally follows, what pleases
the public pleases the judges, and that is the secret of success.

EARLY-FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

IfeARLY flowering Chrysanthemums are making rajiid improvement; we now give them more
attention and grow them better. Our house, after the Carnations and Picoteeswere removed,
and during August and September, was really a fine sight. It cannot be said we have nothing
but Dahlias in the autumn, for these can be had in abundance ; yes, for many continue throwing up
flowers after the first lot are cut — so very different to the ordinary November kinds, and for bedding
many of tlje varieties make a grand feature. Mr. Graham, the Superintendent of Hampton Court

( 80 )

COUNTRY GROWN PLANTS AND CUTTINGS.

The difference between our country grown plants and cuttings, and those grown and sold in or near
London or other towns, is so manifest, that no comparison can be drawn. 'I'nic, they like soot at
their roots, but not to be covered with it, as they must he when grown in such a situation, and for the
want of light are poor and drawn up ; whereas, ours are clean, strong, and healthy, and will root in
half the time.

OCTOBER-FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

W HAT a turn these are taking, and how truly wonderful are their various forms and colours. Only
a few years ago wo had nothing but the ordinary form, now it is difficult to say from which
parent they have sprung, and there will have to be, in the course of a few years, several additional
classes. Some of the new varieties possess no real novelty nor beauty, and such will bo discarded ;
but where fresh beauty e.Kists, no matter how curious, they will have to he announced .and recommended.
The top flower of the engraving represents Alexandre Dufour,, an October flowering hybrid Japanese
Pompon; the Pompon \sMdllc. D’A niuwi/, a pretty little flower of a rosy purple, .slightly pointed yellow,
the smallest and most perfect ; the next, Richard Larios, which is entirely different, and must be
termed a reflexed Japanese (hybrid); its centre is, when half opened, most peculiar, and like the
Catharine-wheel fireworks, colour rich rosy' purple, each petal margined and tipped with white, large

SINGLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

If we were to print half the extracts from the various horticultural papers, and the letters from
those to whom we have sent flowers, incliuling some of the highest titled ]>atrons in the land, they
would till many pages, therefore we are convinced the following will suliice to cause these most highly
useful ami easily grown flowers to be cultivated in every garden. As figured in the Gardeners’
Magazine^ Journal of' Horticulture, and P'lorist and Pomolot/ist, they arc little or no trouble to
grow; produce more blooms, last longer in good condition, either cut or uncut, than the doubles;
in persistency of petal the single Dahlias bear no comparison, neither ilo they for real beauty and
use. Further, they have a nice ])erfume, and for all kinds of decoration will not only add a new
charm, but fill our tables with brightness and beauty up to and ]iast Christmas.

CHRYSANTHEMUM (MARGUERITES) PARIS DAISIES.

(^Golden and Silver Stars.)

This class is really one of the most valuable for cut flowers ; with only ordinary care they can be
had in flower all the year. During the winter they are indispensable, and if afterwards plante<l out
they mate a splendid bed; if they have a fault at all, it is because they are too easily propagated.
They were much admired by all vi.sitors at the Paris Exhibition, and are extensively grown in the
French parks as bedding plants. The fact of their never ceasing flowering makes them household
flowers everywhere.

( )

a splendiil display these make when well j>;rown! yet nmiiy have the idea that they
are a dirty class of ))laiits, and always infested with fly, hut when they are so, it is nearly
always be'canse they have been starved and confined in an imfavoiirahle, dry atmosphere,
and often ])laced next to some other infected plant. When seedlin;{s or young ]>lants are potteil. place
in a close frame for three or four days until they recover, and afterwards expose during the months
of Se]itemher and October to all favonrahle weather, and even during the night with as cold a tem-
perature as possible, just excluding the frost, and, as soon as the pots are- filled with roots, supply
■with litpiid manure, and at all times well surround with a moist, airy atmosphere. This family of
]ilants .should he, the king of the, greenhouse all through the spring, for really we know of no plant .so
easily grown a.s the Cineraria, and very seldom we find it necessary to fumigate until just before they
are coming into flower. (Kor other particulars, see Seed List.)

DOUBLE CINERARIAS.

W E have one of the linest collections, and were awarded the Gold Medal at Ghent, Hclgium, for
three tlo/.en of these double flowers, which surprised Her Majesty the Queen of the Helginns
and thou.sands of spectators, and were frequently styled the Flower of the Flowers of the n hole show.

These have been brought to such perfection, and the colours are so very beautiful, that they
must now be considered not only a novelty but a choice and desirable plant, both for cut flowers and
button-holes, and one of the best plants for the greenhouse, requiring precisely the same treatment as
the single varieties; our lOO-ft. house during A])ril is a s]demlid sight.

THE FINEST COLLECTION EVER BROUGHT TOGETHER.

HE following are the best and most distinct that have been sent out up to the prc.sent. No
'0^1 other foliage plant can for a moment bear comparison with them, .so vivid are the colours
of some varieties. No greenhouse in the summer season is eoni])lete without these charming
plants ; rear them in a warm corner of a stove or eucumber-lrame, and gradually e.xpose
them as the heat of the season increases ; give them a shift as they become ])Ot-bound, and a few
stakes to tie them into a pretty shape, with a little li(|uid manure tw ice a week, which is all they really
require, for no insects and very few diseases attack them. We know of nothing more easy and in-
teresting than grafting several colours upon the old green variety, Frutieo.sus, or the Nettle Geranium.
We. have seen twelve grafted upon one, and it was one of the most striking objects we ever .saw. and
would certainly have excited the admiration of any one. Heat and moisture, and root-bound plants
near the glass, are the main things to insure good high colours.

We devote a lOO-fect house to their grow th, which is alone worth a visit to Swanlcyi- Plants,
rooted cuttings, and cuttings, sent by post to all ]mrts of Europe. Seed, 2.v. ,Gf/. per pkt.

liave been awarded Medals for many years ])ast at the Crystal Valace and South
Kensinj^ton. Although we do not grow for competition, we have exhibited the largest
and most complete collections, the finest flowers, and made the greatest display.

For five successive years we were awarded by the Royal
Horticultural Society, South Kensington, Gold and Silver
Gilt Medals, for the best and most complete collections.

It should be distinctly understood
that we grow above 1,000 plants
of the Show and Fancy class alone
to the greatest perfection ; in fact,
tlicy form quite a grand feature in
our Nursery, and the following list
is umjucstionably most complete.

AYheii these are well grown they are
one of the noblest and most beantitully
made flowers in cultivation, but to
grow them well they must have an
anxious and industrious master, for
tlieir wants are continual from June to
Scj)teml)er. They require a good
deej) soil, well Trenchcil, ami full of
manure. Obtain, about the end of
Ai)ril. wiry small -.stemmed i)laiits.
shift them at once into (J-inch pots,
keep tliem in a frame with the lights
only kept on at niglU; })lant them out
when the first warm nights in June
arrive, well stake them as they grow,
and cover the ground with four inches
of stable manure, watering them over-
head every day, or oftener if the

It ought to he known that Mr. Gilbert, of Biirghley, Stamford (gardener to the Martjuis of
Exeter), is, perhaps, the best judge of fumigating material in England, and whom we have supplied
for many years. He writes us to-day — “Send on same (luantitT as before.” We have about a ton
of the best ever made, which we can now offer, and garilcners will find it a wonderful advantage to
have all flower-growing requisites direct from' ns, and thus derive the benefit of our experience as
specialists.

Single Dahlias.

^ITE beauty of our collection, covering just upon an acre, last autumn was a sight never to be
forgotten by the hundreds that saw them. For show purposes the flowers must he medium-
size, with broad rounded petals, so that they form a perfectly circular flower, with small disc ;
these, when indrvidually wired and made to stand out in a symmetrical bunch, jiresent a grand
and sensational appearance when ranged in a Rose Box with moss. The third class are the dwarf
bedding varieties, with fern-like foliage and decided colours ; these make lovely beds.

CACTUS AND DECORATIVE VARIETIES.

S ACTUS and other similarly formed flowers, thin petalled, elegant shapes, and admirably
adapted for cut flowers and garden decoration, are acknowledged to be the most useful section
that we possess. It is strange that we, and we only, re-introduced and brought them before
the public, as we also did the singles. All these should be grown in every garden.

429. ANNIE HARVEY — A most highly coloured variety, rich crimson-maroon, sweet scented.
Received a h'irst-Class Certificate. I.s\

430. BLACK KNIGHT — The darkest, nearly black, fine medium-size ; free habit. Two First
Class Certificates. 5s.

431. CHARMING BRIDE — The Qneen of Beauty of all the Cactus, or decorative Dahlias — its
pink, rose-coloured tipped petals and pearly-white ground makes it sweetly attractive. There is a
delicacy and combination of colouring in this variety impossible to describe ; fine free habit, and
continues flowering most abundantly. It was kindly sent to us by our late lamented friend,
Mr. C. H. Ilovey, of Boston, U.S.A., with a message that his Dahlia would bring u« an American
fortune. At all events, it has been honoured with Two First-Class Certificates, and attracted
universal attention wherever seen, and our last words are on leaving, “ It is a lovely flower ! ”
2s. G(/. each.

432. COCHINEAL — Colour of the richest crimson, slightly toned a brownish shade ; a fine
addition. 9(/.

433. CONSTANCE, OR ARIEL — Raised by Mr. Salter, of Chrysanthemum renown, about the
Year 1834. Its pure white and elegant-shaped flowers render it valuable for wreaths, crosses, church
decoration, &c. It is a good grower and very free bloomer, and during late autumn will even exceed
the description hero given of this choice and charming flower. Awarded a First-Class Certificate by
the Floral Committee. Grf. each ; 4s. G</. doz.

434. EIMPRESS OF INDIA — Rich crimson-shaded maroon and magenta, full size flowers,
strong habit; distinct, l.s. G</. each.

435. GENERAL GORDON — Bright scarlet-shaded orange, full-sized flowers, strong bushy
habit ; distinct and useful. Is.

43G. GLARE OF THE GARDEN (or FIRE KING) — This gem of gems of all the Dahlias
for the gardens has the freedom and advantage of ))roducing double the quantity of flowers of
anv other variety; small, dense, and brilliant are its flowers, with a lovely green foliage, no matter
how hot the weather; when every Scarlet Zonal in the garden has succumbed to the rain, this is sure
to be in readiness. ‘Ml. each.

437. GLARE OF THE GARDEN IMPROVED — Very large, showy flowers, of a deep red
shade, and a distinct yellow centre, which adds much to its charm; very free and effective. 2s.

438. HENRY PATRICK — Petals slightly recurved and twisted, pure white ; said to bo a great
improvement on Constance. Is. 6d. each.

439. JUAREZII (Cactus) — Sent out by usin 1879. A most valuahleand useful decorative plant
for all purposes through the late summer and autumn months. Its blossoins are of a rich scarlet-
crimson, and very much resemble in shape and colour the well-known Cactus, Cen-ux spea'osissinms.
Height about 4 feet, very bushy flowers of very striking appearance, and quite unlike those of an
ordinary double Dahlia, "the florets being flat and slightly tij)ped at the points and not cupped ;
must be thinned out to get fine flowers. Is. each ; 8s. per dozen.

440. KING OF CACTUS — Very targe, broad petals, twisted, of a reddish crimson shade ; free.
2.S. G(f.

441. LADY BRASSEY — Somewhat near the shape of Juarezti, colour more brilliant red and
scarlet ; very free, a smaller flower, and will most assuredly become a great favourite. 5s.

442. LADY E. DYKE — The flower shown conveys but an inadequate idea of the beauty of this
variety. It is a great dilliculty for the artist to show the beautiful construction of some flowers ;
bright yellow ; very free growth, and for decoration it is a gem. 2s. 6d. each. Two First-Class
Certificates.

443. LADY HUME CAMPBELL — Shape of this is a lovely reflex, each i)etal shown flat, and
of an elegant lace-pointed shape, with a distinct purple in it. 4s.

"5 444^. LADY KERRISON — Shape similar to engraving, but prettier : of a lovely amber-yellow, s

• with a beautiful picotee edge, quite away from uny others of this family. The moment one sets '
eyes on it, the e.xclamation is, “ I have never seen one like this before ; it must certainly become a
favourite.” 3s.

44.0 LADY M. MARSHAM — A lovely salmon colour, quite different to any other Dahlia,
twisted and curled exactly like Juarezii ; centre petals an exquisite star shape, large bold flowers,
very free, and most beautiful and distinct. 2s. &d.

44(>. LADY THOMPSON — By many thought to be the best colour, cerise- scarlet ; each petal
edged with a distinct purple ; lovely reflcxed shape ; very dwarf and free- 4s.

447. LORD LYNDHXJRST — Or (more correctly speaking) a “ Scarlet Constance.” In both
growth and shape of flower nearly identical with the useful White Constanee-, colour a lovely reddish
scarlet, most abundant bloomer, and is certainly the most useful Dahlia for cutting purposes ever
sent out, ami will grow in any poor soil. !)rf.

448. MISS BEADON — Buff, shaded red, deeper centre, fine large flowers, petals well reflcxed.
dwarf, bushy habit. Is.

flowers; neat habit. Is.

450. MISS SELBY — Of a pleasing shade of magenta ; fine open flowers ; dwarf and bushy. 4s.

451. MR. A. W. TAIT — A great novelty from Oporto Portugal). Most peculiar and pretty,
and is another of the forms reminding one somewhat of Juarezii ; it is different to Constanee in its
serrated un-Dahlia like form and ap])earance, and must become a general favourite for cut flowers in
every household, for which it is admirably adapted. Further, it does not require rich soil and
preparation, but will grow almost everywhere. After April, I.-;.

452. MRS. HAWKINS — Free, close neat habit, rich sulphur colour,’ shading off towards
the tips of the petals to a Pghter shade, and slightly tinted soft red ; distinct, l.s. each.

453. OUR LEADER — Very rich crimson, centre petals twisted in a most curious manuer, and
marked down centre of petals rich yellow ; bright yellow centre. 2s. tiJ.

454. PICTA PORMOSISSIMA — Colour orange, bright scarlet stripes; cvcryhod.v’s flower.
This was the first double-striped variety of some 50 years ago, hence it is called the Grand Old
Dahlia, ikl.

455. PRINCE ALBERT VICTOR — Beautiful rich crimson-red, shaded orange, long narrow
petals ; good bushy habit ; very distinct. 3.s.

456. PRINCE ALEXANDER — Buff ground, striped and splashed crimson, shaded orange in
centre; reflexed flowers, full size. 2.s. 6rf.

457. PRINCE OP WALES — Fine noble flowers, of a rich orange-red shade, broad twisted
petals, very showy. 4s.

458. WM. PEARCE — Rich yellow ; a useful variety, l.v. Or/.

450. WILLIAM T. ABERY — The most lovely coloured decorative Dahlia we have ever seen.
For cut flowers a gem, and great value for market. One could hardly refuse to purchase it,
and must certainly admire it. Its brilliant red border to each petal, on a ])urc snowy-white ground,
renders it so very attractive ; small grower, but one of the most cajitivating flowers of all this
family. 3s. 6c/. each.

460. FASCINATION — No Dahlia at the large Show at the Inventions Exhilcition attracted
more admirers than this, and for all garden and house decoration it is a splendid fancy double variety.
Colour, a lovely hrightro.se. with a pure broad white stripe down each petal, which renders it agencral
favourite with all at first sight, no matter where ; it is pronounced ns having an artificial appearance.

461. FLORET DAHLIA — A very curious variety, and called the Floret Dahlia, and may be
called the Triple Dahlia ; every petal orciuill is filled wifh another petal, as the engraving shows. I.-;.

attractive shape and lovely mauve-rose colour. It really belongs to the I’ompon class ; it is the

4()->. THE BLACK AND WHITE DAHLIA, MR. MILLER— Although we do not give an
engraving, it is the most showy of all ; small, neatly-made dowers, grand colour, intensely dark, with
a pure white blotch on each petal, which renders it most attractive and beautiful, and for cut-dowers
a gem. l.s. 6rf.

466. VIRIDIPLORA — Pure self (jreen-Jlowered Duhlia. The dowers are Poni]>on si-^e, double

A. C. IIaucocrt, Ks(|., Lewisham Hoad, S.E., Autfust 20M, 1>S7.

It is over four years since I first came to your nurseries and bousrht a large assortment of flowering
])lantf, including vour Single and Double Zonal Pelargoniums, and I must say they are the best 1
have ever seen, some of the bloom measuring 2i inches across, and trusses immense in size. Many
friends have heen to see them, and could scarcely lielieve it ]>ossible. The Doubles especially are
siipply lovely. I wonder more jirivate people don't grow them. 1 have never seen the like at any
nursery, ami I'liave been to all the largest and best witlim 20 miles of Loudon. Also your Ivy Leaf
Pclargoniiiins arc the best and largest assortment I have ever seen.

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS.

FOR EXHIBITION PURPOSES. — Select an open sitaation. In Octolier, trench the soil 2 feet deep; use a
liberal supply of old hot-bed or cow.manure, well mixed with the soil. Commence planting the first week in
March, and at intervals. Plant in beds of three rows, placing the bulbs one foot apart and 4 inches deep. Stake

flowers for tlccoration and the extended season of their blooming, vi/,., from C hristmas to

ROUND-FLOWERING ZONAL PELARGONIUMS.

SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR POT CULTURE.

PpIIE Zomil Pelargonium is beccm-
ing more and more popular every
day; vidt reports in and around
I.ondon of the stands of magnificent
blooms that we have shown thronghenf
the year, the autumn and winter in
particular. Several 100-fect houses
are filled with Pelargoniums alwaj’S in
flower, and many are so grand in the
winter that they are nnrecognisnhlo
even by the raiser; in fact, no oilier
flower — not even the Eo.se — can fern
moment he com]iared with our stand of
trus.ses, many of the pips measuring
2 to ;i inches over, and ns round as
the engraving, and in seme instances
lietter. This may appear incredildc,
hut whoever questions this are respect-
fully invited to Swanley, no matter
the season. To keep plants in good
blooming condition throughout tlie
year, all that is necessary is to keep
two'or three sets potted, say in March,
July, and September, in good rich soil,
with a plentiful sujiply of water, taking
out the points of all strong-growing
shoots, thus throwing the whtle
strength into the truss.

We are glad to say that immense
strides continue to he made in this
class

few people have an idea, and very few can form the slightest conception, what grand kinds we
have in this family, and what splendid specimen i)lants they make trained on trellises ; and what is
more surprising, all, with the cxce])tion of Koniej Albert, have been introduced within this last
six years, and in fact, no class of plants has made such rapid progress in so short a time. The stands
of cut blooms exhibited by ns at South Kensington (and awarded the I’remier Prize), and numerous
other shows, w'cre a marvel for the neiinisitions they contained, including many of the following

a It is surprising this family is not more largely grown, considering how easy they arc to cultivate,
1 and, if well grown, what grand things they are, both for decoration and exhibition. Treat them
' similarly to a Verbena; choose nice young plants about March, or any time up to July, give
them good shifts and rich soil, well stake out, and you will be highly gratified, for some are certainly
surprisingly large ; and their colours not equalled by any other flower. The finest varieties ever
offered. Seed saved from this collection, 2.'.-. per packet.

|IIESE are a splendid hardy class of plants. Some of them are lovely colours and perfectly
distinct to any other flower, and for mixed borders or in shrubberies they are not equalled
5(5^ by any other plant. Some of their blooms are almost a perfect circle. Tbeir roots can be
divided in February, and are quite hardy. Plant them in good, deep, rich soil in an open situation.
To get fine exhibition blooms strong cuttings must be taken and struck early in March. For cut
blooms they are valuable, also very ornamental, and continue in bloom for a long time ; if cultivated
in pots they are equally valuable for conservatory decoration, and only require nice yonng plants
put into 7-inch pots in May, and, well attended to through the summer, like the Chrysanthemum,
to make a grand display.

OUR HYBRID PRIMROSES, OR FANCY POLYANTHUS.

LORD BEACONSPIELD VARIETIES.

JUlIERE is no greater charm to the eye all through the spring than these. Although they are
A Primroses, they are totally different to what we are accustomed to see, being stronger growers,
and their blossoms of an immense si/e and of great variety of colours. Many arc of a lovely deep
purple-coloured violet, and others approach a <listinct shade of red, whilst the yellows and whites
are most striking. Equally as good in their various colours as Harbinger, introduced by the
Mar(iuis of Exeter, and which has given such great satisfaction. 4.9. to 6.s-. doz. Is. per pkt.

HARBINGER — Although numbers of Primroses have been sent out, and justly admired, they
can bear no comparison rvith this one. Harbinger leaves all white ones far in the rear ; in fact, it is
one of those marches past that seldom occurs — consequently, one of the good permanent plants,
welcomed by all with delight and pleasure every year as the hopeful spring comes round. It
was awarded a First-Class Certificate by the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural
Society, and the engraving on the following page is a true representation of the plant. We

'Pri'mula Sibbolw.

(CORTUSOIDES AMOENA.)

|fi^jOMrAKAT I VKLY speaking, this is a new class of Primula, and since introduced has been
wonderfully improved, in fact the flowers Imve been made double and in some varieties treble
the size, therefore they have become nearly as indispensable as Cyclamen, Cinerarias, &c., for
greenhouse decoration, and also for the garden, as they are hardy ; in winter they die down to their
fleshy roots, and beyond keeping them moderately dry they are no trouble until they arc required fo
be pushed on for flowering, when they merely want the protection of u cold greenhouse, and potting
in ordinary soil. Afterwards they can be kc]‘)t out of doors.

double-flowcre<l varieties of this family rank amongst the most desirable of plants for
decoration of the conservatory or greenhouse during the autumn, winter, and spring
tnonths ; and, where cut flowers are in general request, are speciallv valuable, as they retain
their beauty for a long time when in a cut state, the flowers never dropping off as with the single-

the summer they begin to bloom, and continue as long as the weather keeps open; like all

LIST OF ALL THE

Best IIosj^j^Cui^iyation

FIVE ;qC^E^-¥H0a^57IND3 IN PW-

^UR great an<l constant object with Roses is to maintain
a goofl stock in fine condition, which, while the secret
of our success witli growers is also tlie sole reason why
we Iiave not figured as one of the most successful prize
takers at shows, for our looses are, as our customers well know,
always magnificent, and they are not weakened hy the use of
strong stimulants, such as must necessiirily he used i)y those who
get up blooms for cxhi!)ition. We find that our stock of 33,000
j)lants luxuriate in our deeply trenched, but unmanured, soil,
making vigorous growth, which remains healthy ami clean, and
is thoroughly matured, whereas when stimulants arc aj)plied the
wood remains full of sap, and is conseciuently unripe, a dis-
advantage of whicdi the effects are shown when the i)lants are
moved, a considerable j)ercentagc being not unfrequently lost.
It is no iflle boast to say that our immense stock, which includes
every sterling variety, whether new or old, is one of the finest in
the kingdom, ami it is our full conviction that gentlemen who
favour us with orders will be gratified with the result, reaping, as they will, the henefits of strong
am! well-matured plants. All lovers of Roses (and who is not one ?) are conlially invited to ins[)ect
our collection, especially when in fiower, when they can make a selection to their own liking, and
wlicn they will he surprised at the way in which Roses thrive at Swanley. We have planted an
ad<litional acre this year in addition to the five we previously had, besides which we grow thousands
in pots, for forcing. &c.

DIRECTION’S FOR PLANTING AND PRUNING.

When Roses are to he placed singly in small beds on lawns, a hole should he (hig three feet deep
and tlie same width, ami filled up with a wheelbarrow-full of good compost, two-thirds of which
slum Id he strong turfy loam from an old pa.sture, and the balance well-decomposed animal manure.
Never place manure near the roots; let it he some distance away from them, when, if they feel the
want of it they will grow to it

( 214 )

dh,i\i]en &. S^loi‘al G[;uiile.

When beds are to be planted, the ground should be thoroughly dug
eighteen to twenty-four inches deep, as the nature of tho soil will admit,
intermixing some of the above compost. If this be done well, the beds will
lust several years, with occasionally a dre.'siug of manuie.

If a piece of ground is set apart for the exclusive eultivation of Roses,
the most opeu situation should be selected ; if wet it should he welt drained ;
this done, the ground should be trenched to the depth recommended above
(he particular that the surface soil is kept on the top when finished), when
hods may then he formed according to taste ami circumstances. November
is the best month for transplanting, although with care they will do well up
to the middle of March. I’lant after preparing the soil as above, make it
level, taka out siiflicicnt to let tho roots down, say four to five inches below
level, walk over the soil to consolidate it— if a Standard, drive down a
substantial stake, place Rose against it — spread out roots naturally, sprinkle
fine soil over roots, cover all over level, and trend down firmly, smoothing,
surface with a fork : prune as ])cr engraving.

HOW TO PLANT AND PRUNE ROSES.

( 215 )

H'. Car(T)dl & i^^loi^al G[iude.

See scparatiou just below surface-line in the two dwarf Roses : this shows how they can bo got on
to their own roots when budded on any stock ; the original roots will waste away, there are many
advantages in deep planting. •' ruauy

About the first week in March is the best time to prune established plants of Hybrid Ferpetuals,
and the last week in April the I'cst time for Teas. ^

.■''‘S"''”"''!.'’ «">' ‘•'■‘•k. some should be cut out entirely, and others
left long, from six to eighteen inches i.s a gooil average, but inodcriitely strong growth should he cut
back, so as to leave three to six buds on each shoot. The secret of getting newly-bought Ro.-es to
thrive IS to prune them as per illustration No. 1. directly they arrive ; but. in the ease, of a novice,
we advise his re.jiiesting the nurseryman to prune them before .leapateliing them. Fig. 2 shows how
to prune Roses the secoiul vear after plnnting.

If a tree be taken up ami transplanted when at rest, the roots are inert, nor do they move for some
lime ; coii.se<|iiently, if a large top be left on the plant, it is .piite out of proportion to the life-givim'
pro ler les of the root, the result being that the green wood becomes stunted, turns yellow, and
probably dies from sheer starvation It is therefore obvious that the less upper growth the roots
bin e to maintaiii at such a time the better for what wood there is. and the stronger will be the growths

Sal'vias.

j\EI{UAPS at no time of the year do gardeners find it more difficult to keep up a display of
flowers than about the commencement of October, but if the following Salvias \Vcre once
ilayfy seen, and ))crsons were determined to grow them, there would be no more scarcity of either
the most intense blue, scarlet, purple, rose, striped, and several other intermediate colours, than
there is of having in November the conservatory full of Chrysanthemums, and with not nearly so
much trouble, for Salvias are much more easily ])ropagatcd and grown.

INCRUSTED SECTION.

II E following arc some of the choicest and most useful of this group ; many of tliem, from
their quaint appearance and rarity, may be classed amongst the gems of the rock-garden.

'vliilst others are especially valuahle for making a gronndwork or edging to fine foliaged

plants in the summer flower-garden.

1. AIZOON — Grows in nice patches ; grey-

22. PEC TIN AT A — Very small frosted
leaves ; one of the best. U'.

23. PYRAMIDAIiIS — For iieatne.«s and
beauty, when this plant is well grown, it stands,
in our opinion, before any other. There is no
difficulty in doing this; like Echeverias, keep
moderately dry during the winter,and make sure
no dampness stands in the heart of the plant, if
so, that part becomes decayed, and the flower
spikes also. Thp rosettes frequently measure 6
inches in diameter, and the lovely pyramidal
plumes of white flowers often reach 18 or 24 in.
in height, '^d. to 2.«. each.

CANDLE PLANT — Mr. JolmGrummitt,
Priory Bank House, Sheffield, speaks of this
plant as follows in the .Journal of Jloriicullnrc : —
••There is an entpiiry respecting this plant on
page 370. The i)laiit inquired after is, in my
opinion, Caralia articulota, which is succulent.
The whole plant, stem, and leaves has the same
glaucous hues us Kchcreria seniuda tjlauca when
grown in heat. It is rare. I never hut once
(some years ago) saw a ])lunt of it, and then, in a
cottage window. It and Crassula imhrir.ata and
Monanlhes polyphyUa are, I fear, lost in culti-
vation; they would be valuable acquisitions to

the collector and lover of curious or rare jilants

at least they would be so to me. Loudon tells
us the plant was introduced from the Cape,
about 1775.” i'id.

Verbenas for the Decoration of Conservatory and Exhibition.

is not generally known how well adapted are many varieties of the Verbenas for the summer
and autumn decoration of the greenhouse and conservatory. If the following kinds are chosen,
the house may be made gay with flowers, and sweet, with a most agreeable perfume for
months. Strong healthy plants should be chosen, and potted into (l-in. pots any time from the
beginning of April to the end of July, the soil to be similar to that used for Fuchsias. Choose plants
that have had the imints taken out once or twice when small. After being potted into 6 or 8 in.
pots they should be kept in a cold frame for a few days, tolerably close, and then gradually exposed.
Give them two or three thorough fumigations, as per H. C. & Sons’ directions, then remove them
to a well-ventilated cold greenhouse. Put a stake to each shoot, letting them be slightly bent down,
and make them dwarf ; but the flower stalks must be kept straight if reimired for exhibition.

Verbenas can hardly be too liberally treated ; starvation has hitherto brought this once general
favourite into unpopularity ; they are like Chrysanthemums, you can hardly err in overfeeding them.

( 239 )

I^loi‘al G^iiitle.

Let them have plenty of air, night and day, with every opportunity of rooting through the bottom
of the pots, and plenty of weak liquid tnanure as they may want it ; by this means they will give you
a grand display of flowers for two or three months, and an enormous quantity of bloom may be cut,
and the plants none the worse.

None without seeing our lOO-ft. house, or a 48-stand of Verbenas, can form the slightest idea of
their size and beauty ; so large in pips and truss that they have several times been taken for Phloxes.

^ANY of these continue in bloom (even beneath the snow) all the winter; and at the first
./> few days of sunshine they are a brilliant mass, and if planted in bands of colours like other
IC..A3 orilinaiy bediling plants, in well-manured, deeply-dug soil, they give a glare of colour from
February to ,Iuly. But how strange that, with the exception of a few that know bettor, the million
will buy bulbs for bedding! — whereas Violas arc only a (piarter the ])ricc, more certain, continue
ten times longer in flower, and produce thirty times the (juautity of bloom or colour, and are
altogether better.

J F there is one flower more than another that can lay claim to the honour of being everybody’s
favourite, it is the Violet; it cheers the mo.st Muldencd .spirits, and gladilens the most robust.
We are [tleased to say the hybridisers and the most anxious and hopeful seedling raisers are at
work, and to those who present ifiowers double the size of our iiresent kinils, with a perfume,
the whole universe owe at least their
thanks. All will adtnit value and good
work which has been done. We thank all
those who are engaged improving our pre-
sent productions, for when once those
improvements are achieved, it is a benefit
for ever, more or less, nil over the world.

Violet.s, like all other flowers, have their
wants, and if these wants are not su]>-
plied at the right time, they become weak
and unsatisfactory. Old jilants must bo
divided early in April, and replanted in
good, dee])ly-dug, and well-manured soil,
sixteen inches from plant to ])lant for
largo growers; the douide and smaller
leaf kinds, twelve inches, with their
roots well down so ns not to suffer in dry
weather, and at :ill sen-sons their runners
must be kept cut off; thev will then
iwodiice flowers such as are seldom see '.

DOUBLE WHITE VIOLET.

SWANLEY WHITE— Wc[, bought
and imported this variety direct from
Count Brazza, Udine, Italy, and have

to its parent, Murie /^onise^ ha^■ing the same
growth, freedom of flowering, ami the .same
|)erfume;the individual flowers are equally
as large and of purest white.

SINGLE VARIETIES.

RAWSON'S WHITE — A grand white variety. {See coloared paper in front of Catalogue.)

WELLSIANA (grand new single variety)— Reeeived First-Class Certificate from the Floral
Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society. An improvement on Victoria Regina and
Odorutissima — larger flowers, longer footstalk, and blooms much more continuous ; this being so,
it can readily be imagined what an immense advantage such a Violet would be in every household.
l.s. each ; 10s. per doz.

ODORATISSIMA — At first sight even the experienced grower might say it is Victoria Regina,
but when grown side by side, every one at once admits that its size and roundness of flower more
resembles a Pansy, accompanied with a powerful odour. !)rf. each ; 5s. per doz.

VICTORIA REGINA — Is very similar, possessing a fine flower, long footstalks, and when well-
grown can be readily distinguished from all obler varieties, but often from the want of replanting we
have seen it degenerate so as to be scarcely distinguished from the Csar and the Giant, except by
the foliage; the latter two, although good in their time, are hardly now wanted. 6rf. each ; 4s.
per doz.

DEVONIENSIS — Deep purple, and very sweet.

SINGLE RED or PINK — Ilistinet.

THE RUSSIAN AND LONDON— Are of a much dwarfer growth, with small leaves, their
runners become quickly interwoven, and in the early spring produce their flowers so thick as to give
quite the appearance of a bedding jilant. 3.v. per doz.

WHITE CZAR — This variety occasionally changes, and for a time produces purple coloured
flowers, but when it comes true, it is a useful single white ; strong grower, free bloomer in the
spring. 6rf. each ; 5s. per doz.

ARGENTAEFLORA — Perfectly distinct from any other variety, and where the delicioas
fragrance of the Violet is in recpiest for buttonholes and bompiets, by all means grow a bed of this
useful kind ; it has the valuable proi)erty of producing flowers nearly all the year round, and t>he
odour of two or three is sufficient for any ordinary bunch of flowers ; colour white, tinged with
pink, long footstalks, flowers small, strong grower, and, for the above purpose, should be in every
garden. Grf. each ; os. per doz.

All those not priced, Grf. each.

COLLECTION OF BEDDINQ PLANTS FOR THE DECORATION
OF THE FLOWER GARDEN ON AND AFTER 20th MAY.

For the convenience of persons who have not the time to make their own selections, we beg to
say, in the tirst place, our whole attention is devoted to this branch of Horticulture ; and as we have
all kinds of new and best bedding plants as soon ns they are out, and propagate them in large
quantities, and only the very best older varieties are allowed to remain in our nursery, we have good
reason for saying they will include plants that cannot be equalled by other florists.

Best Collection, comprising 250 Plants, left to our selection, for GO.v. ; half the (pianliig for 30.s'. ;

(piarter the giiantilg for 16s.

They will consist of Plants embodied in this Catalogue. Packing, 4.s'., ‘2s., and l.v. 0</., according to

possible, so the cost of the carriage will be but trifling. At this cheap rate all orders must be
accompanied with the amount. The Collections will be sure to give satisfaction.

C0VEP •: g;qi^DEN V BeaQOETg.

It is of tlie utmost importance to all who require Wedding and other IJoiiquets, and cut flowers,
that they should have them direct from the growers at wholesale prices. No flowers are grown in
Covent Garden ; it is therefore obvious that the distance is the same. Any quantity can be packed
so as to travel .safe, and as the LONDON, CHATHAM, & DOVER is in direct communication
with all the other Railways, punctuality can ho safely relied upon. In giving orders it is necessary
that plenty of time he allowed, and that the actual object rc([iiired is distinctly stated ; no set price
can'he stated, ns that differs so materially with the .seasons.

HYACINTH GLASSES.

In order to ensure success in growing Hyacinths in glasses,

a renewal of the water and cleaning of the glasses
now and then is of great importance. Hitherto both
could not be accomplished without pulling out the bulb, doing
more or less injury to the tender roots, and other inconveni-
ences. The new Patent Glasses effectually remove
all difUculty, and have the advantage of being
both convenient and comparatively cheap. Part
(fi) contains the bulbs with the roots, and is simply lifted up
and put aside without touching the bulbs at all. Part (/;)
may then be easily cleaned and lillcd with fresh water.

CANNELL & SONS’

SYSTEM OF GERMINATION OF SEEDS.

CERTAIN, SIMPLE, AND THE CORRECT MODE OF RAISING PLANTS FROM SEED,
WORTH TO THE AVORLD MANY THOUSANDS OF POUNDS.

e 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 adopt it, and the success of all good seed will
follow, and become a lasting practice and benefit. For years past excellent treatises have been written,

( 299 )

S. dknT\ell & G^uide.

practical men have ailopted shading their seed-pans witli paj)cr, and others tiith a glass vessel of'^c
water, various coloured glass, &c., all of which hut slightly approach this system, and why it has »

not hecome a general practice long since w^e are wholly at a loss to say.. The advantage and' success
of this system is so a])parent, that it only requires to he once known to hecome universally adopted.

First, when a frame, pot, or pan is covered completely, it ensures one uniform moisture and tempera-
ture : consequently-’ every seed posses.sing 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. ’

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, ns 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, of which every particular is given below.

It must he remembered these are like young children; they must be carefully looked after, fed.
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 and disgrace. A sweet-smelling hot-bed rather on the decline is preferable, with
the heat at about G5 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 and spread *

naturally out in the soil without injuring them, pressing the soil firmly. Place them in the frame,
keep them shut close for a few days, be careful of damp, and admit air as they get established. Let
them he 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 vines starting, or even a warm greenhouse, there is no more diffictdty in
getting them to grow under an air-tight hand-glass or wooden box with the tO]> covered with glass,
than those of their own striking or raising. *

REAL MANURE ” or FLOWER PRODUCER,

AND HOW TO GET THE FIRST PRIZES.

'OTIIIN G can be so jilain to see and understand — when but a mere i

handful of soil in pots becomes woven and interwoven with roots
for months — that nothing in the shape of nourishment can re-
main but what is conveyed in the water from time to time for
the plants to live on. It becomes perfectly apparent to all that, if vigour
in growth and highly coloured blooms are required — particularly in hot
weather — something beyond the ordinary water must be given, and we
are quite sure that no one can grow plants in pots to attain anything
approaching perfection without supplying them in some way or the other
with food from day to day. and the ordinary horse, cow, or sheep manure
placed in a tub and administered in a clear state, will give additional
vigour ; but as the strength is uncertain, and often injurious, and the
smell objectionable, we have determined to offer our specially prepared
“KeaI/ Manoke,” in large or small quantities, to be used once a week
at the rate of f oz. to the gallon. All plants, after they become pot-
bound, must be fed, and, if with the above food, the result will be
marvellous and (juite perceptible after ten days. Without seeing the
beneficial effect of this specially prejiarcd Manure one would be surprised
at the difference ; the foliage at once becomes greener and more dense,
points of each shoot put forth a greater length, more buds, and the flower assumes larger and bolder
dimensions, colour far more vivid, ami the whole more attractive and beautiful.

Healthy, vigorous growth is seldom attacked with insects. This most rapid growth generally dates
from the time when the first roots reach the sides of the pot until the first rootlet finds its way through
the bottom of the ])ot; from this day onward all plants must be either shifted into fresh soil or fed in
some way, otherwise the plant is hastened into premature blooming, leaves gradually turn yellow,
insects attack them, and the wonder is, what is the matter. Clear water is just sufficient to keep
them lingering for a time ; should the weather be hot and dry they positively soon become an eyesore
instead of an object of beauty. To grow plants to perfection, the art of feeding and giving a regular
and sufficient moisture is the main secret, and if either is done too much or too little the object suffers
by showing some slight signs of weakness, and only by close observers are those signs of yellowness
detected until insects commence eating the under surface of the foliage and tender skins, and as soon
as the sun shines the leaves become blotched, from the fact of the under skin and veins being severed
and then scorched brown by the sap not being able to flow ; hence the thousands of sickly-looking
plants that abound in almost every garden. It sometimes happens that too high and dry a tempera-
ture wilt produce red spider and thrip, and give the like sickly appearance. If so the beauty of the
plant is gone for the season, and it had better be stood out of doors in the shade. IVjlealy atid house
bugs ami scaly insects can be completely eradicated by lightly brushing them with paraffin oil ; the
slightest touch of this shrivels them up. Thrip, a smalt, long, brown or black insect, somewhat like
the shape of a pin’s iioiut, are difficult to get rid of, and the best way' not to let them come is by using
our “ Keai, Manure ; ” and the same with the minute pest commonly called red spider. They' are .so
small that it is only with a sharp eye, or through a magnifying glass, they can be seen moving about
between the ribs of the under surface of the leaves ; but wo have asyet failed to see much red colour,
amt have often wondered why tbey'shoulil be so called. These mites jirotoct themselves with an almost
invisible web, and the force of water required to dislodge or break it injures the plants; their complete
destruction must be a coutinmnis fumigation tor twenty-four hours, and this is sure, more or less, to
cause injury' ; therefore, if a plant is attacked it is spoiled for the season, and it is best to jilace it out
of doors fully e.xposed to heavy dews, which is the only thing to clear without actually killing the
plants. Want of food is the cause of market plants fading suddenly, although so beautiful when
purchased. The market growers feed their plants up to the highest pitch, and if not continued they
at once commence to suffer; but if our ‘•Keai. Manure” is applied as directed, ami continued,
jilants will flower even beyond their usual period in a surprising manner, for it really gives them, as
it were, new life.

The COVENT GARDEN GAZETTE says:—

“That to most of our readers the name of If. Cannei.l & Sons is probably as well known as
their own. 'The ‘Home of Flowers’ at Swanley has long been noted for the excellence of its
productions and the variety and novelty of its introductions in floriculture. When it is understood
that the enormous business carried on at Swanley is largely supported by professional florists, it will
be seen that Messrs. Cannell can fairly claim to take foremost rank in matters floral. Although
their productions are rarely shown at exhibitions, whenever they do so they generally gain the
highest honours. 'I'liey really have no need to exhibit. 'Their display is on view all the year round,
ami, thanks to a standing invite to all, one will at any time, with the exception of Sundays, meet
with a ready welcome from the genial ]>roprietors. In order to appreciate the advance that is being
made in floriculture, a visit should be paid to the ‘ Home of Flowers.’ ’’

grow ])lants to perfection, always have suHieient fumigating material in rcadincs.s, and aiiplv it’on
their very first ai)])earanee. ‘ '

I’erhaps there is no operation in the garden to he performed more hewildering to the amateur than •
the process of fumigating his green-house to rid the plants of the green fly or aphis, vet few things are
more easy to he, aceompli.shcd. Onr houses are 100 feet long. 12 feet wide, and 8 feet high. One of
them requires 4 Ihs. of our specially jirepared tohacco rag or paper, and if voii can hv thesiT dimensions
calculate the space of your own house, you can send for or use thee.vact (|uantity required. Now come.s
the secret, and the art or skill of carrying it out, that is, to kill all the insects without injurv to the
plants, and to do this it requires every attention just at the particular time. Close and cover up all
apertures, for so much that escajtes is so much money wasted ; the material should he modcratelv drv,
that is to .say. not quite drv or wet, huthy no means water it. Lay it on hrieks or other tminfiam'mahle
floor, iirocnre a red-hot cinder and wrap it round with a piece of the cloth or paper, to he reiieated at
tlistanccs of (! feet in length of house ; hy this time the house will he partially full : aild other pieces, a.s
there is a just proportion of saltpetre to cause it to consume itself. Lay the remaining material aloii" the
pathway in a longitmlinal form, .so that they may touch, and one will ignite the other, .so as to kecp'iip a
gentle fume for a long time. Be sure and not let it flare. No plants like smoke, and the less they are
.suhject to it the hotter; hut when it hecomes necessary it must he done without causing them the least
injury, and when ])lants have made quick tender growth from being kept clo.se in heat and moisture,
they will ho found to ho much more liable to injury, and a longer time must he taken ; hut when plentv
of air has been given, c.xi)osure to sun and wind, '&c., then a stronger and quicker dose can he given’.
Ferns, Tropieolums, Verbenas, and Heliotropes arc all very susceptible to injury early in the .season, and
even the juire tohacco will injure them if applied in too great a quantity at once. The densitv of the
smoke must he only to admit of 3 to 5 feet heing seen in the greenhouse through the glass, 8 feet for tender
plants. A very mild quantity of fume will kill the young fly— the ditlieully is to kill the old one.«,
and so long as they have strength to move, so sure they will soon recover and' multiplv by thousands!
Nowhere does the old adage illustrate itself more plainly than in fumigating — •‘What "is worth doing!
is worth doing well." We therefore always make it a ])oint to commence in the evening, and give
another and stronger dose early in the morning, and it is surprising what a saving it is to give them
the double dose, or even the third Keep the house firmly closed as long as possible, then svringe. if
weather permits, tvith clear rain water, standing two or three cans of well water in the house, as that
has a wonderful (piick effect in dispelling any ohjectionahle odour. If all this is carried out as directed,
green fly would become scarce, and our valuable plants much more beautif id, and of course sati.sfactorv!
When the proec.ss is going on, be jiarticnlnr that the fumes are not a-scending in too great a volume; if
so, when it rebounds from the glass, it will be sure to injure the foliage. What is wanted isaregu'lar

PARCEL AND LETTER POST

LMOST everything in this Catalogue can be sent anywhere in Europe by Parcel

Station, and immediately conveys all our postage matter to the General Post Office.
So we are brought, as it were, within an hour of the Chief London Offices.

V V] I 'E never grow anything expressly for competition, and therefore never, or very
rarely, compete. We simply put together anything we may have, to show
Spectators, and exhibit for what orders we may have the good fortune to get ; even this
we have determined not to do unless we can well spare the time, so that neither
stock or customers are neglected at home.

Our Catalogue is large, but our Stock and Nursery is larger, and our facilities for
rapid and correct carrying on business is all that can be desired.

Ladies and gentlemen should send their gardeners at every opportunity to us,
particularly when they are not successful with any plant, as we not only show them
how flowers should be grown, but explain the whole process, for nothing has done us
so much good as making all amateurs thoroughly successful with what we sell them.

Sales by auction means something like selling off, and certainly shows the want of
selling things ; it must also deteriorate the stock of the best plants. VV e hope to give
the satisfaction to our old and valued customers that will secure their kind reconi-
mendations and assistance to enable us to avoid those sales .

The last few years we have assisted probably thirty Chapels and Churches, &c.,
besides other Institutions, nearly all unknown to us, with flowers, &c., without, as far
as we know, ever receiving the slightest advantages. In these keen times this cannot be
continued. Of course we take a pride, as all should, in their neighbouring church and
chapel, which we decorate so as to be well known for miles.

No Eoreign Order wall be executed unless freight and postage is fully prepaid, except
well know’n old customers ; this must be observed. Whatever balance is left will be
immediately returned, and we must ask to be fully remitted, allowing extra for strong
plants, for if they are not strong, and in the best possible condition, they cannot be
expected to outlive long sea voyages, such as India, China, and Australia ; this may
be calculated at one-third more than that for ordinary plants, Catalogue i)rice.

Tho “ Home of Flowers ” is now acknowledged to be the place for all flowers
(Oicluds excepted) ; our whole business, time, and attention is devoted to horticulture,
and the result is, we claim to supply requirements of the garden certainly equal, and
m most cases better, are better packed, and sent in the best and cheapest way to all parts
of the world, than any other linn for tho above reasons, and as gardening has been
our whole life study, the result is, our business is a great success, the most complete
and one of the longest established in the world. This being so, we ask all whom
we have not yet had the pleasure of doing business with to send us a trial order.
All the goods enumerated in the Catalogue, particularly winter-blooming plants, are
very fine, and must give .satisfaction.

\eai after year jn'oves that our way of doing business is undtu’stood and appreciated
more and more, and to gain confidence in sucli a business as this, where by the neglect of
a few hours the best seeds and pi ants may be lost in a dozen w'ays, and again descriptions
in catalogues are taken and given when plants and flowers are at their height and size
of perfecfion. All plants, more or less, alter under A'arious treatment at different
seasons, and lovers ot flowers are, as a rule, anxious, and have a dislike to w'uit, and
sometimes form hasty conclusions without considering circumstances, and to gain
confidence, as we feel we have, we do think we have managed things very well.

“ A place for everything and everything in its place,” is a good maxim, and so is
“ I’iiyj and be paid, ’ and all those that will not pay ju'omptly when asked, unless
pressed, ought not to order (lowers. AVe do not complain of fair and reasonable out-
standing debts, but we do comjilain of those w'ho are ahvays ill, and always from home,
and, after letting it remain for two or three years, boast that they have had their
flowers for next to nothing, by working our money on interest and otherwise ; this is
said to be a disease creej)ing on the ])ublic, and to all such they must not be offended
or suiqiriscd if wo bring them to book, or bay, for our business is most expensive to
keep all things good and correct.

AVe hope all customers will apprise us of change of address, thus saving the annoy-
ance to them of redirection and surcharge by |)ostal officials and loss of double postage
to us when returned; a half-penny card would thus save us ;fd. or 4d.

AV^e are sure business people understand that all enormous and unnecessary expenses
have to be ]iaid for by theun, and to avoitl this, and ])roeure orders equally good and
continuous, we always make certain that all orders are coin])leted quite up to the
value remitted, so that the transaction is a source of pleasure to all concerned.

but for the gentleman when on his way to town, a choice little speck
is altogether different, and certainly has an aspect of business and
happiness. Say a nice tiarnation, I’icotec, or some other choice
uncommon little flower ; it frequently leads to conversation and after-
wards business, particularly when it happens to be something out
of season or has not been seen by the general public ; it is sure to give a
charm.

OUll SEEDS AUE NOT THE CHEAI'EST, BUT THE BEST grown in the garden of
England, where the soil and sunny clime has been known for centuries, and now MORE and MORE,
for its fruitfulness. The near perfection of our flowers, exhibited both in England and on the
Continent at all seasons, surprised and astonished all, and at the last great shows in Belgium and
Germany, tvhere Gold and other Medals were awarded ; wh.at is even more conclusive proof that our
country Is more favourable for flowers than even that of any on the Continent, it was throughout
these e.xhihitions said — and in general conversation admitted — that Cannell’s flowers were the
I’l.owEKS OP THE WHOLE SHOW. Both King and Queen requested to see us, and expressed their
surprise and admiration. Beyond this we think it perfectly unnecessary to say more in favour of
our homc-grown-and-saved Seeds, which we ask all to come and see. and be sure they are the best
us they flower. Delivered post free to everybody's door in the world.

SENDING MONEY— FOREIGN.

There is scarcely a jioioer hut what we grow in England a
considerable deal better than seen in any foreign country. This

it not remarJcable that so many Englishmen send their orders
abroad for what they can get much better at home \
