ALSTRCEMERIA PEREQ-RINA ALBA — Very few pefsous know this class of plant, and but very little has been said respecting them, yet there is not another plant that can rival them for cut flowers and beautiful appearance. They are easily grown as pot plants, and may be had in bloom for months by successional treatment, flowering most profusely, and everyone is eharmed with a bunch. The above is a pure white variety, and possesses the same advantages for cut. purposes and pot culture — in fact, as a pot plant it is of first-class utility and importance. It is one of the best old- fashioned plants that has been brought forward for many years, and invaluable for conservatory or greenhouse decoration.

NEW AND RARE PDA NTS. vii Tall slender-growing Chrysanthemums, however good their flowers may be, are all more or less an annoyance in greenhouses, fears ago we set ourselves the task of obtaining varieties growing not above 3 feet in height. In this we have succeeded; and after selecting and re-seleetiug from hybridised crosses, many of our seedlings are only 18 ins. high, and produce splendid large full-sized flowers bl brilliant and varied colours — many of them quite new shades— thus adding another charm to this interesting and useful family. Connell's Kentish Whiter the first introduction of tliis new dwarf section. EDMUND BE VAN — A seedling of our own raising. The aim and ambition of raisers of Chrysanthemums appear to tend very much towards the production of white and light-coloured kinds. We have therefore much pleasure in introducing a variety in the dark-coloured class, which will certainly prove one of the most distinct and attractive' of the year. Of trne Japanese form, very large perfectly formed flowers, and in colouring belongs to the A'. Slotymisc class, but the petals are not so broad and still-looking, being more of an artistic appfcaranoeJ-ift fact., a formation of florets that should be encouraged in this family. The petals are long and graceful, beautifully eurviug and elegantly arranged, incurving and recurving, showing the colours (gold-bronze and almost a blood-chestnut— the brightest we have yet seen) off to u very appreciative advantage ; quite, a distinct style to any other Chrysanthemum. It will certainly be found absolutely necessary for the exhibition stand ; habit dwarf and free. Early terminals. 3a. C d. JOHN MACHAR — A seedling of our own raising. A splendid incurved Japanese of the finest form, and a decided improvement in colour, and also in the immense bold build of flowers of fV. II. Lincoln. Of a brilliant deep yellow, being equally as attractive as the well known JardLin dcs Plantes, and we have every confidence in putting tliis forward as likely to be the most popular variety amongst the yellows ; possesses a fine habit, and every flower comes in exhibition form. Awarded a First Class Certificate. 3s. 6 tl. KENTISH 'WHITE — Another seedling of our own raising. If one .point is more necessary than another in respect to improving the Queen of the Autumn, it is certainly that of getting them dwarfer, and thus providing enjoyment for those whose greenhouses are restricted in dimensions. So far we have succeeded in the novelty we now otter, and we fuel sure on that account it will be much appreciated. Many are the admirers of Mrs. (I. Handle, and we have no hesitation in predicting that this variety, as an Incurved Japanese, producing large well-formed flowers of the purest white, and of a splendid dwarf bushy habit, every stem being well furnished with handsome green foliage, up to the (lowers, and scarcely ever above 2 feet in height, will in a very short space of time, become equally as well known and cultivated as the old favourite mentioned above. For grouping, market, and general decorative purposes it cannot fail to be a great acquisition. A gianco at the engraving taken from a photograph will convey a correct idea of the value of this splendid introduction. 3s. MRS. NORRIS (Jap.)— Of our own raising. A variety possessing several necessary and useful advantages— and that is, it is of easy culture, producing large flowers fit for exhibition, and owing to its freeness of flowering, it is equally ns well adapted for the decoration of the conservatory, corridors, or halls. White, agreeably tinted pink ; it, cannot fail to become useful. 6s. WM. SPARKS (Inc. Jap,)— Large bold flowers ; broad well-developed petals, incurving to a full centre and forming into grand exhibition blooms ; ground colour deep magenta, reverse of petals of a distinct and pleasing shade of rose, with a silvery shading ; dwarf, vigorous habit.

Those who have admired Good Gracious, with its delicate peach-pink colour, together with its distinct and attractive formation of flower, will, we feel sure, accord this also a welcome, being of the purest white, and large bold flowers, the long always-twisted florets being even more spirally inclined than the variety mentioned above, every bloom coming to perfection. Good dwarf habit ; quite a distinct feature in every stand. 6s. USU-GESHO (Inc.

BOUTONNIERE, AESTHETIC AND SPIDERY CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Where reiiuement in decorations is desired those will now take the place of the Pompon and single-flowered varieties, and will undoubtedly occupy a position in Chrysanthemums similar to the Cactus-shaped kinds in Dahlias, which have gained such well-merited popularity throughout the world. It is our full conviction that these light, graceful, and fantastic shaped Chrysanthemums will attain a prominent position in even a much shorter time, and owing to their lasting properties when cut, which is a great advantage, they will be eagerly sought after and used by every lady who admires something neat and nice for tile decoration of the table. For buttonholes and sprays they are even a worthy rival to the Orchid, both in appearance and keeping qualities; no garden or greenhouse ought to be without them, See opinions of the gardening papers and the Press.

THE ECHO The single varieties have been much neglected during the past few years, they are certainly deserving of more general notice and cultivation. The variety mimed Miss Hose, sent out by us several years ago, is constantly being mentioned in the gardening papers as a most useful anil necessary kind for the conservatory, owing to it forming into such beautifully shaped specimens, and well covered with Mowers. The novelty we now oFer is equally as effective, but producing flowers of a distinct shade of terra cotta ; medium size flowers ; dwarf, bushy habit. 2?. GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE, 17th November, 1894.

Si'idkky Chrysanthemums. — At the Meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society on the 13th inst., Messrs. H. Canncll k Sons submitted three Chrysanthemums which by reason of their distinct character and elegant appearance attracted much attention, and were regarded with considerable favour by the Royal Committee. The three varieties are most useful additions to the type with spidery blooms of which J. Carter was the forerunner, and, like that variety, ot considerable value for button-boles, hand bouquets, decorative purposes generally that require small light flowers. NEW AND RAKE PLANTS.

The blossom is serai-globular, of an enormous size for a Daisy, furnished with a tall stalk and pure white. In the opinion of gardeners, who have seen the plant, it should prove of value in bedding-out, and owing to its inability to produce seeds will not become such a troublesome weed as other double-flowered Daisies ” id each : 3*. 6d. doz. ; dr,?, ner 100 NEW AND RAKE PLANTS.

THE ROSE. ® UR Roses are always magnificent, and our customers know it, for every season brings us more and more orders. Like last year they have been free from insects and disease, and the growth most vigorous ; iu our unuianured soil they luxuriate. Our 50,000 plants are the finest probably over seen ; in spite of the adverse weather they have grown amazingly. Our deeply trenched soil suits them, and they lift with all their roots splendidly, and all those who have not tried our Roses we ask that they will give us an order, and it is our full conviction that they will be found certainly equal, and in most cases better than most growers, particularly those that most injure the stock by using strong stimulants to get up blooms for exhibition ; the plants are full of sap, and unripe growth is often the reason that many do so badly, and often die after removul. Another secret in getting Roses to grow after removal, particularly Standards, is to prune well back and plant early in October, or as soou in November as possible. February and March are the best Spring months. By so doing, young fibres are made at once before the cold weather seta in, whoreas, if planted later in the usual way, they must stand without nourishment until the return of warm weather, and are often past recovery before it arrives. 72 H.

Grape Vines we grow very extensively ; four of our 100 ft. houses are filled with them early in the spring, and afterwards (the houses) used for drying seeds during August and September. Each year we have some unsold from the preceding year’s sale ; these , carrying bunches of Grapes. These are of great importance when a house is required to be filled at once. At all seasons these Vines, if plantod intact and laid sideways, together with 2 ft. of stem, 6 ins. below the surface will at once put forth young fresh roots. By having these, a season’s planting will be saved and fruit at once. 6s. to 8s. each. We have also a large quantity planted out, four years old, with very large strong canes, for immediate cropping.

E were fortunate in having selected a beautiful day for our visit to what is known as “ The Home of Flowers ” — the flower-farm belonging to Messrs. H. Cannell & Sons, the eminent horticul- turists, of Swanley, in Kent. The station— unite an important little station by the way— seemed overwhelmed with business. The platform ami approaches were crowded with boxes, and on every box was impressed the name of “ Messrs. Cannell, Horticulturists ’’—undoubted proof these gentlemen were doing a very large business indeed, a fact corroborated later on when we found that the firm consigned plants and seeds to every part of Great Britain and the Continent, and to every crowned head in Europe. Indeed, we saw a cheque that had that day arrived from the Sultan of Turkey in payment for plants and seeds supplied. Guided partly by the odour of sweet-scented flowers, we found ourselves at the establishment of the firm, and a very beautiful place it is. Imagine some 17 acres of plants of every description, in various stages of growth and flowering, with no less than 37 glass houses, none less than 100 feet in length and 14 feet in width, and some as long as 180 feet and a width of 25 feet, and bear in mind that this is but a portion of an enterprise which has a large branch at Eynsford. It is almost impossible in the space at our command to enumerate the names of the various plants. It is sufficient to say that there were magnificent collections of Zonal Pelargoniums, of which the firm have a good show all the year round— of Ivy-leaved Geraniums, and of true Pelargoniums, including all the best-known varieties. There was a marvellous display of these, and a finer collection could not be got together. There wore Venus Pelargoniums, a kind which can be had in flower either at Easter or Christmas, and some fine Primulas and Cyclamens usually in good condition at the end of the year. There were in one house 100,000 seedling Begonias, suitable for bedding purposes, for exhibition, or for greenhouses. There was a fine show of tuberous varieties, of the double species with shades of colour resembling Tea-Roses. Then we came upon a house for Palms and Forns, of which there were innumerable varieties in fine display, and auother house filled with very choice Caladiums. A splendid show of herbaceous Calceolarias for seeding purposes was in another, and yet another was filled with Balsams. Then t here were two set apart tor Carnations of the tree varieties, suitable for greenhouses and conservatories, and amongst these we noticed the new dark Uriah Pike, a large crimson, with a clove scent, After a dance at the Fuchsia House we were shown the new Carnation, Princess of Wales, a flower after the Malmaison type, a large free-flowerer of a deep pink with silver shading, suitable for either open air or conservatory. Another plant that we saw, Strcptocarpus Kcwensis , is coming rapidly into fashion, and it could, we are told, be grown in a cool greenhouse ; it is a free floweret-, a pretty plum colour with white. The next house we visited was that devoted to Cannas, commonly called Indian Shot, a plant somewhat resembling in flower the Gladiolus. One of the finest of this class is Queen Charlotte, which is a good five years in advance of existing variolies. We remember speaking highly of those when they were on show recently at the Temple. After a glance at the Coleus class (a species of the stinging-nettle family), we saw some fine Cockscombs set apart for seeding purposes. The firm last year showed over a dozen distinct colours. We next visited the finest show of Gloxinias we ever saw, for which, when exhibited at the Temple, the firm carried off the Silver-gilt Flora Medal. The rarest one is H.Il.H. the Prince of Wales, a rich scarlet with a crimson shade ; but a very fine one is Miss Tudor, a creamy white with pink spots. Then there were IV. Marshall, Petunia, Princess of Wales, a claret crimson with distinct white edging, very dwarf and free ; Mirabilc, with a plum-purple shade ; Byblis, a pure white, very large and fine ; and Miss Mary Pearson, a spotted variety. After a glance at the potting houses we saw what is called the curiosity house, where there is the finest collection of Cacti in the trade. Then there was an Orchid house to be seen replete with numerous varieties and species, and many other houses which want of space forbids our mentioning. In the grounds sonie thousands of frames are used for protecting plants, such as Dahlias, etc., in which the firm does a large business. We saw 1,400 sorts of Chrysanthemums ; 6,000 of the different kinds in large pots are grown here every year. Then a short distance off there were thousands upon thousands of border Picotees and Carnations in pots. A large number of Roses were also here, but nothing like the number at Eynsford, two miles further on, where Messrs. Cannell have 300 acres for seed growing, fruit and other trees. Of hardy herbaceous plants, including new introductions, of glaring Poppies, Pa>onies, Aquilegias, Forget-me-nots, Iceland Poppies, Grape Vines, Symphytum variegatum, and of Phloxes, to say nothing of 100 varieties of Dahlias— the grounds are full. A more perfect flower farm than this of Messrs. Cannell & Sons cannot be imagined, and all those of our readers who love their gardens should accept the general invite issued by the firm, “Come and See.” — The Gentleman’ s Journal, Jply 1st, 1895. A All know the advantage of dealing direct with the Manufacturers, particularly when natural position renders the goods superior. It is exactly so with our Seeds. When coals are got direct from the mine you get 21 cwt. to the ton. The same with Seeds— direct from us, the actual growers, you get in proportion to 22 cwt. For Collections of Vegetables we received 5 Silver Medals at the big London Shows -quite unprecedented in the history of Horticulture. This at once shows the strength of our new Seed and the purity of our strai s. INDEX ) I f,r i , i | i MAIN DIVISIONS.
