A KEKTISH FLORIDA. From the “ECHO,” June 29th, 1894. Fifteen miles away from town, in a fold of the Kentish liills, weil .sheltered from the winds, is the " Horae of Flowers” — well named, for there the flowers are not merely displayed, but bred and nursed. At divers exhibitions we had admired the marvellous productions that hail from Swanley, and had often wished to see their birthplace ; so, in the glorious sunshine of Monday we sped thither, and spent a couple of delightful hours, as the hospitable proprietor made us free of the place, and his son inducted us into its wonders. The explanations which young Mr. Canncll so good-naturedly gave fell on unlearned ears, and we will not attempt to unveil the mysteries of cross-breeding and propagation by which such remarkable results are achieved, nor to describe the varieties of choiee, yet unnamed, seedlings which we saw. Me.ssrs. Cannell & Sons' catalogue will supply details to those who are curious. Let it suffice to say that, like everything else which is worth doing, the breeding of new varieties of plants must be done w'ell. and implies much trouble, care, and judgment, and not a few disappointments. Out of 11,700 seedlings, if there are six showing improvement the breeder is thankful. It is hard to know where to begin to convey an impression of that raany-hued vision we saw at Swanley. Perhaps the Begonias are most in evidence just now. There are 200,000 of them in boxes, tliumb pots, and cuttings, and regiments of matured plants in bloom, of nearly every hue and shade save blue. The principal aims in Begonia-rearing at Swanley are directness and 'free-blooming, directness being the overcoming of the tendency to droop. Tiie expert knows which is rarest, but it would be hard to say which is fairest amid such varied beauty. If one inclines to give the palm to the rich crimson of Leopold Rothschild, the superb yellow of Miss Falconer catches the eye, and hesitation is born of the exquisite blending of the pink and orange of Mary Cornell; whilst the sweetness of the pure white Octucie appeals against the sulphur splendours of the Rev. Lascelles, and a moment later we say, “ Can anything be finer than those rich bronze-yellows, more magnifieent than the rose-like flowers of Rosebud'” Here are the Fuchsias, and among them one of the most remarkable sights that Swanley has to show to horticulturists— namely, a “sport” thrown off by a Fuchsia. The variety named Phenomenal, produced some years ago by Messrs. Cannell, has a purple corolla. One of the ]>lants, not at Swanley, bore 'flowers with red and then with white corolla. The plant was re-purchased, and is being propagated. We believe that the throwing off a ‘'sport” by a Fuchsia is almost unprecedented. Very lovely are the Ivy-leaf Geraniums — there are 10 varieties — and we noted unwonted colours among the Pelargoniums, purple, pinks, white centres with crimson edges, and the still stranger Bluebeard, but the most brilliant mass of colour just now at Swanley is vielded by the Cannas the orange and scarlet spikes of Kiinigin Charlotte flame in contrast to the 'more subdued tones of the Duchess of York, powdered with minute crimson spots. Hard by are the Gloxinias with their deep bells of velvet texture. One rich erimsou variety, the Beacon, had subtle tones and reflections, and an intensity which gave it a peculiar charm. Outside Kew, the Cacti at Swanlev have no rivals. Every corner of the globe has been ransacked for specimens of the grotesque vegetable forms through which nature seems to have indulged in a quiet humour as a relief to her labours. There are the Old Man Cactus, with his grey poll, the Caudle Tree, Aloes, Agaves Prickly Pears, and last but not le.ast the crowns of the Kesurrection Plant, which rolls itself up into’a tuft ball and is blown and rolled from one side of the vast desert to the other, waiting for the rainy season ; it immediately then becomes green, roots into the sand, and remains a verdant green until the hot season sets in again and hundreds of species of which we know not the names, smooth, thorny, stiff, or trailing, some tiny ones, cushion-shaped and reticulated with exquisite pattern’s as if the fairies had been making 'pillow lace ; and among them are the mysterious night Sowers, that nloom for a few hours in the darkness once only— weird, uncanny members of the floral kingdom, shunning the society of their kind. One opened its great sun-like petals recently, but it requires careful watching not to miss them, for they bloom sometimes earlier than appearances indicate. Through the rockery, with its Saxifragas and Alpine growths, we come to the aquatic garden, a series of three tanks connected with each other, and devoted to the cultivation of the rarer water plants like Nymphmi rosea. Why are water gardens not more general among ns ? The want of water may be the cause in some cases, but not in most. Uhey have a charm which is certainly not exceeded by lawn, parterre, or shrubbery. We had intended to say something about the yellow Arum Lillies— there will be pink ones soon at Swanley— and the general aspect of the gardens, with their tall hedges of copper Beech— nipped like much else, including, alas ! the Strawberries, by the May frost But we must renounce the task. We have lifted the corner of the veil. Perhaps the glimpse afforded will serve to convey some idea of the floral wealth hidden in the hollow below Swanley Junction.

HOW TO MANAGE PLANTS, ROOTED CUTTINGS, AND SEEDLINGS SENT BY POST. ■^JjHEKEjpersons have the convenieuce and sufficient experience for nursing small plants, and enjoy ,'seeing"them grow, we strongly recommend their having them sent by post, as every care is taken to grow them in sueh a temperature, &c., that there is no risk about their doing well with a small amount of ordinary care, if the appended instructions are carefully followed.

WiTii THE Introducf;r's Descktption. BELLE SIEBRECHT — A truly superb rose, the result of a cross between An I'rance and Lady Fitzwilldtin, colour imperial pink. Mr. Matthews, the greatest authority on colours in America, pronounces it a solid pink of the richest shade — a rare colour. The flowers, which are sweetly perfumed, arc largo, beautifully formed, and of long tapering shape with high centre, and when half blown the petals redex in graceful manner. The buds (which are borne on strong erect stems, IJ to 2 ft. in length) are from 2.J to 3 in. long, and when fully blown the flowers are oj to 6 in. in diameter without showing the centre The flowers have great substance — the petals, which are of a heavy texture, do not easily bruise or tarnish ; they are good lasters, some having been kept seven days withont falling. It is a'free and vigorous grower, with large and glossy foliage of leathery texture, entirely free from mildew ; a most prolific bloomer, every growth producing a perfect flower, not a deformed flower or bullhead ever having been seen. It is predicted by eminent rose- growers that it will be the best selling and the best paying rose that has over been introduced. ^V'c do not send this rose out to be tried, as wc have subjected it to ti e severest tests for over two yeaiv, and we can recommend it as a first-class acquisition. It has received the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society of Great Britain, and Fir.st-Clnss Certificates from all the leading Horticultural Societies in Europe and America. It has proved itself to be a free and thorough evcrblooiucr. and perfectly hardy out of doors in this country. It should also be stated that this rose is quite distinct from the now popular varieties which are grown for cut flowers. It excels them all in colour, form, and freedom of blooming, and develops and holds its colour perfectly in dull weather. Dean Hole, of England, the greatest acknowledged rosarian, and the author of the “ Book on Roses,” says “ It is not only the fine form and beautiful colour, which all must admire, but the vigorous habit and endurance of the flowers, all of which must cause it to bo universally welcomed."

Begonias, Tuberous. THE GAEDBN, 26th May, 1894, TEMPLE SHOW. A very fine group of Begonias was exliibited by Messr.. H.Cannell & Sons, Swanley, the plants in full bloom and arranged with rare taste, not a garish 'mass of colour. Amongst the doubles were several superb acquisitions, such as lulith 1V i/h«", white ; A’. B. Parsons, rose, a clejir shiniug shade ; and Afrs. W. B. Miller, of a lovely salmon-buff shade. The same firm also had a fine assortment of single kinds, the self-coloured types the richer. Wo were pleased to notice the freer and looser forms of the double flowers. VT is well knouTi throughout the whole floral world that our strain is in every way different and r nil >iaVkSta olfnrrAf>iai> Hwarfor flnwftra Iflrfrftr. with ffrcater brilliaiicVi and ^CillCr UWttllCij IIU >VC10 J , more distinct colours. As we have before said, in character they are very much like a potato. In winter place the tubers on the top of small pots, three parts full of soil, in some warm, dry, light corner of the greenhouse, so that they may be examined every week ; and if they are found to be at all mouldy, they must be dusted immediately with sulphur. Out of this hairy-like tuber, as spring approaches, a small red bud will show forth from the centre ; then repot into a good, rich, light peaty soil, just leaving the bud visible, and in about a fortnight leaves will begin to unfold, and another fortnight, in a nice warm, moist temperature of 60®, blooms will be showing ; and a month after this let the plants be shifted into 5 or 6-inch pots. In a month or six weeks the pots will be filled with roots, and if large plants are wanted, shift into a 7 or 8-inch pot, for deep, good firm potting, as per engraving, which it fully illustrates. Be sure that there are no green fly ; if so, the buds will drop off, but it is very seldom that insects attack them. Be very particular never to allow them to become . 1 , 1 . A V,/\« ary ; ii bu, vucy tuc lujuicu iw* © - dry weather, give two waterings, and they will grow and bloom amazingly. Shade during the summer, but admit plenty of air and ?he great thinis-just shaded from the sun, only kept near the glass ; no syringing, ’’“t a good drenching with rain water from a coarse rose ; avoid tost and coW draughts, administer e lifuid manure, and keep them growing as long as possible. Our Ee^ best ; if this is not at hand, diluted cow or horse manure. When the plants show lay the pots on their sides in some dry place, in December, shake away all soil, the top of soil in the pots before mentioned. Ahouse can be kept m a blaze of bloom with Begonias, and all the winter and the remaining parts of the year with Zonal Pelar.onmms. either of which only require the treatment any intelligent man can give them. Attention is the uuiy o great thing. Seed Sowing and Seedling Raising. -First fill a pot or pan half full of some substonce to make it porous for drainage, then cover over with moss, or soinething similar, to make a separat o , and then^fill to within a quarter of an inch from the top of light, fine-sifted soil, • or burnt, so much the better, so as to kill all animal and vegetable life; press oi! Jnmt s^nd sprinkle the seed ; place over this the smallest coating of the very finest ^^® ®®® or soil, just so as to support the seed in their places. Keep in total darkness, with p p ® 4. 1 had some Double Begonias from you last S|)ring. Grand and magnificent are the only word.s 1 can find to^ describe their beauty, J//.vs J* (ttconer. £j. F. f'ishf and Ideauitf of Beli/rove are particularly fine ; D. I . I'l.ih had blooms five inches across, and the flowers like a medium -sized Pmony. I was at the great Autumn Show in Dublin hist week, and if I had had a snflicient numiier for the .>6 stand of blooms I could easily have outdistanced all comers. ( 18 ) OUR SINGLE BEGONIAS. S>.

WORTHIANA — Orange-scarlet, a favonrite for bedding, and admired wherever seen C).\ to 9s. per dozen. Special prices for large quantities. We have now a suflScient stock, an,d have also had sufficient experience of the Begonia as a bedding plant (our lawn beds and borders having been full of the best during the two last summers) to pronounce it as eminently suited to this purpose. Uor are we alone in this opinion ; it is the general verdict. Seedlings make a lovely bed ; hut to have all the plants of one regular height, shape, and colour, a Stock must be propagated as one would Zonal Pelargoniums. They can be propagated just like Dahlias, by cutting the Tubers at the eyes just after they have started. Plant the bulbs ten inches apart, and take them up when the frosts come. This is really all the culture needed. Begonia Worthiana has proved itself a good hedder of the small flowering section. BEGONIA WORTUIANA. The best bedding variety in cultivation, 193. CASTAN.fflFOLIA — Although not a tuberous and purely evergreen variety, it makes a capital bed planted 9 in. from plant to plant.

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 the best for conservatory, porches, or standing in tubs, pots, &c. ; about a garden they are grand objects, and for beds or single clumps, are the finest flowering varieties of this family we ever had. 1 rm C®*®- Thompson, The Gardens, Broxmead, Cuckfield, April ISM, 1894. 1 The plants which came from you, I am pleased to tell you, are all doinc well and- give mv employer great satisfaction, and I shall be pleased to send you further orders.

I have trijd most of the various ones, but I would much prefer yoni's. It will be a great saving of labour, and the flowers will be easily raised to the required height. When well known, 1 am sure you will have a ready sale for them. “Yours truly, P.

When seedlings or young plants are potted, place in a close frame for three or four days until they recover, and afterwards expose during the months of September and October to all favourable 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 liquid manure, and at all times well surround with a moist, airy atmosphere. This family of plants should be the king of the greenhouse all through the spring, for really we know of no plant so easily grown as the Cineraria, and very seldom we find it necessary to fumigate until just before they are coming into flower.

No other foliage ]>lant can for a moment bear comparison with them, so vivid are the colours of some varieties. No greenhouse in the summer season is complete without these charming plants; rear them in a warm corner of a stove or cucumber-frame, and gradually expose them as the heat of the season increases ; give them a shift as they become pot-bound, and a few stakes to tie them into a pretty shape, with a little liquid manure twice a week, which is all they really require, for no insects and very few diseases attack tiiem. Heat and moisture, and root-bound plants near the glass, are the main things to insure good high colours. We devote a 100-feet house to their growth, which is alone worth a visit to Swaiiley.

All lovers of these speak of Phenomenal as the King of the Dotibles, by its siroug growth, riue habit, and the gigantic flowers it produces, claiming everyone's admiration on account of the rich colouring of the corolla. It hae been our good fortune to come into possession of two sports from this wonderful variety, and which we now offer to the public, viz., Rose Phenomenal and White Phenomenal, the corolla of the former, instead of as in the original, being of a bright bluish-manve, comes a light rose colour of (juite a new tint : the second and last sport has pure white corollas, and in both cases they retain the same growth, habit, foliage, and also same freeness in flowering, as the parent.

If yon have discontinued issuing what 1 have always called ‘‘Caniiells Encyclopicdia,’’ 1 think yon are wise Sneh costly productions, although very useful, I feel assured never pay for the labour and immense expense they involve ; and my own experience is that there are hundreds of gardeners, and many of the general public, who write for them and arc glad to receive them, but who never send a single stamp (to say nothing of orders) to help toward.s the expense.

( 238 ) SELECT GRAPE VINES Grape Vines we grow very extensively ; tour ot our 100-ft. houses are filled with them early in the spring, and afterwards (the houses) used for drying seeds during August arid September. Each year we have some unsold from the preceding year’s sale ; these are shifted from the 9 and 10-in. pots into baskets filled with well-prepared soil, and make strong growth from 1'2 to 18 ft. long, carrying bunches of Grapes. These are of great importance when a house is required to be filled at once. At all seasons these Vines, if ])lauted intact and laid sideways, together with 2 ft. of stem, C inches below the surface, will at once put forth young fresh roots. By having these a season’s planting will be saved. 10s. to 12.s. each. We have also a large quantity planted out, four years old, with very large strong canes, for immediate cropping. Would fill a house the first season, if planted in a similar way in good soil. ALICANTE — Black, bunches large ; a fine late variety. ALNWICK SEEDLING — Black, Urge oval berries ; rich flavour.

H. Cannell & Sons, Swauley, take a prize for one of the finest collections of Vegetables of all kinds we have seen. GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE, 13th October, 1894. A most extensive lot of garden produce was shown by Messrs. H. CanneU & Sons, Swanley, Kent. This consisted of 34 varieties of Onions, most of Deverill’s varieties, also Nutting’s Golden Ball, Inwood Favourite, Lullingstoue Park Hero, Neal’s Advancer, Royal Jubilee, Cannells’ Globe, and others. These Onions were all of extra size and selected for seed-saving purposes. Other exhibits were Early Rose Celery, a quantity of very fine examples of Carrots, including .James’ Improved, several of the so-called stump-rooted varieties so well adapted for shallow land, Coleworts, Savoy, good Egyptian Beetroot, &c. Good things shown in much abundance. (A Silver Knightian Medal.) JOURNAL OP HORTICULTURE, llth October, 1894. Messrs. H. Cannell & Sons, Swanley, staged an enormous collection of Onions, also fine examples of most other vegetables in season as grown by them at Eynsford. A remarkable and meritorious display, and all hands went up for — A Silver Knightian Medal. THE GARDEN. A splendid exhibit came from Messrs Cannell & Sous, Swanley. Their Vegetables were remarkably fine, and we wish more space was at command to deal with them. Potatoes grown under field cultivation deserve high praise, and comprised a large number of varieties. — N.C.S. Snow, Royal Aquarium. ( 256 ) ALL FRUITS SEND FOR A CATALOGUE OAKD£N£jHS' CHRONICLS, October 1894 — Lessons op the Great Fruit Show. — 'I'lie very best and finest fruit, and therefore the most profitable, came to the great show chiefly from Kent. That county stands at the head of all other counties in the kingdom. They get more sunshine, the air is pnrer, and they have generally better and warmer snlwoile. ( 267 ) When coals nre got direct from the mine you get 21 cwt. to the ton. The same with seeds— direct from ns, the actual growers, you get in proportion to 22 cwt. All know the advantages of dealing direct with the Manufacturers, particularly when natural position renders the goods superior. It is exactly so with onr seeds. ( 258 ) Fop Collections of Vegetables we received 5 Silver Medals at the big London Shows last year— quite unprecedented in the history of Horticulture. This at once shows the strength of our new seed and the purity of our strains. A VIEW OF H. CANNELL & SONS’ PACKING DEPARTMENT. PLEASE PASS TO FLORAL FRIENDS. }UAL f E xpei\t Foi\^EK|Efj _ ~00 Hands.
