about the middle of May where they are to stand. If, however, they are to be sown in the
open ground, the first week in May and again in June and July. When thickly mulched
and watered they will bear heavily. They should be occasionally topped, to induce side
growth, and if possible stakes or supports of some kind slionld be used, as it allows of much
finer growth and increased production of pods.

ASPARAGUS (Seed).
CULTURE. — There is no vegetal)Ie more delicion.s. Choose the liighest anil lightest ground in the kitchen garden, and stake out in Septemlier as
per diagram, dig out to a foot deep, lay it on each side in the pathway then wheel in .3 inelies of good manure, fork this in about another foot, and if dug
over lieeply two or three times .so much the iietter ; on the top of tliis place a fair coating of rich .soil and soot, .ami over this 3 inches of soil from out' of
the alley, then place one plant to every 9 inches, spreading the roots well out, covering them over with the finest soil, free from stones. For the top
covering have 6 inches of light friable or even sandy soil. The first year make one cutting only, if the plants are three years old, the following winter
add more tine soil, so that there is something like 9 inches of earth above the crown of the plants. Asparagus beds made in this way with a good coating
of manure and a fair amount of salt and soot every other year cannot fail to give abundance of this succulent vegetable until the peas make their
appearance.

BROCCOLI.
CULTURE. — Early sowings may be made in February, under glass, followed by sowings in the open grouinl, middle of April and second week
in May, for suocessional crops. When the plants are largo enough, prick out into a bed 6 inches apart, and after they have accjuired strength, transplant
to a piece of gfouinl that has been previously well dug and sooteil, in rows 2A feet apart and 2 feet di.stant from eacli other As the plants .advance
in growth draw tlie soil around the stems, and give Ihiuhl manure occasionally. We strongly recommend a sprinkling of nitrate of soda which will
be fountl to work wonders. It is advisable to cut the lieads as soon as they attain the medium size.

CANNELLS’ PERFECTION INTERMEDIATE CARROT.
CARROT.
Seed saved from Selected Roots only.
CULTURE. — The French Scarlet may be sown in frames in December and January ; in
f'ebrnary succession sowings may lie made on warm borders ; in March, a large sowing may be
made ; and for general crop sow about the miildle of April, either broadcast on beds or in
drills. Preference should be given to the drills, as the crop can then more easily be. kept clean.
As soon as the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin out to 2 or .3 inches apart at the first tiiiniuiig :
after a few weeks give a final thinning to 6 or 8 inches distance, and the crop allowed to remain
till it has perfected its growth in autumn. It will be lound an advantage to mix the seed with
a certain amount of soil so that it can be more evenly distributed.

CAULIFLOWER.
CULTURE.— Sow euil of January or early iu February in a frame on a slight heat, or in abouse, so that the plants may be forward and hardened ofl
by April, when a sowing may be made outdoors. From this .sowing he.ads will be produced in July and August. To stand the winter, seeds should be
sown about the third week iu August. Caniieth' Firai-to-Cut, Early Lnn'inn, ami Early IhrarJ Erfurt are reliable sorts. Select a sunny, well. drained
spot for tlie seed bed, well work and if at all lieavy add a go id dressing of fine sandy .soil or old potting compost, after wliicli the seed may be sown thinly
and broailcast, and covered with fine soil. When the see llings appear, apply an occasional dusting of soot and lime as a preventive against slugs. The
strongest plants, when ready, should be dibbled out rather thickly in hand lights and cold frames, andjtlie remainder left in tlieseeil bed where the will
frequently survive an ordinary winter. Finally, plant out in spring.

CELERY.
CULTURE. — In Kebniary .sow in heat ; March ami April inopen border. Plant in April,
May and July, from 2 feet 9 inches to 3 feet between the trenches. A contingof mineral manure
to the bottom of the trenches with rotten dung from an old hot-bed, and well water in dry
weather. However large Celery may be, it i.s of little value if dishgured by the ravage.s of garden
pests. It i.s of the utmost importance that soot, burnt ashes, or even line soil is banked closely
round the stems ; too much soot c.an hardly be used, both to keep away the eelery-tly that works its
way in and ileposits its eggs between the two skins of the leaves, and also to keep slugs from
injuring it.

CULTURE.— Plain and Curled Cre.ss should be sown weekly
during the whole year, if a regular .supply is re(inired, the state of
the weather regulating the method of sowing. As a rule, from
November to March, a gentle hot-bed is the best. Austrnliau Cress
sown in the open border during March and April, and in a cool and
shady place in May, will produce crops in succession ; and if sown
under a' north wall in September and October, withalittle protecoion,
will afford a supply during winter and spring. Water Cress may be
easily grown in a damp and shady plai-e, and on no .account must
suffer from drought. Sow in March and April.

MAIZE or INDIAN CORN.
Tliis should be more generally grown as a vegetable in this country. As its cultivation is not ditlicult, and it is not necessary for the seed or cobs to
become hard before gathering, they should be made use of when in a green state, or just when passing out of the milky state, and only directly they
are renuired for use. Boiled and served with, a suitable sauce, they are quite enjoyable. Sow in April in a gentle heat, and when sufficiently hardened
and all danger of frost is over, plant out in a warm position about 18 inches to 2 feet apart.

MELON.
Cl'LTURE. — Siniilar to that of the Cucumber, but requiring several degrees
more of heat which must be maintained with regularity. A quick growth should
be encouraged during the earlier stages, and when about 1 foot or so high the
tips should be pinched out, causing them to come stronger, and the fruit sets
more freely. As a rule they are in perfection just before the stems come away
easily from the fruit. The soil should be kept firm ami solid throughout the growth
they prefer a rich fibrous loam.

CANNELLS PRIZE MEDAL ONIONS,
AWARDED MANY GOLD AND SILVER MEDALS.
CULTURE. — The ground should be double dug in October or oaidy in November. The ground can then be left in its rough state until early in
Jau\iary, when a goo«l dressing of soot may be spread over the surface, wh.ich is not only a preventive for the maggot, but a val\uible stim\ilant for
the Onion throughout the different stages of its growth. Nothing more should be done until the end of February or March, wlien (weather permitting)
the beds should be pointed over, well raked, and rolled or trodden down firm, and the seed drilled in rows 1 foot apart, which leaves ample room for a
draw-hoe, which cannot well be nse<l too often, if care be exercised to avoid any in.iui-y to the toj)s. As soon as the Onioirs are up and well estaldished
thin out to 9 inches apart, and during an early stage of their grow’th a liberal top-dressing of spent Mushroom bed manure would be beneficial iu keeping
thegrouml moist and cool in hot, dry seasons, and saving a considerable labour in watering. When they are in full growth a dressing of our “Real
Manure,” 2 ounces to the yard, will do wonders for them, especially if well watered in, should the weather be dry. Soot sown broadcast in .showery
weather will help to keep down the mildew ami also encour^e growth. For wliatare ternied Tripoli or Winter Onions, sow early in August ami transplant
the following spring. Onions may be grown on the same piece of laud for years if good tiilage is kept up every season. By sowing the Tripoli or autumn
Onions early in August, and transplanting the seedlings iu due eourse, followed with a sowing, weather permitting, of Early Eight Weeks in Fehriiary,
and then again with the spring varieties, it is possible by this method to have Onions throughout the year.

CAWEOLARIA.
CALCEOLARIAS.
AWARDED THE GREAT SILVER CUP.
Sow in August, and from the moment they are up do everything to keep ,
them growing. Rain water is absolutely necessary. Let them be carefully |
shifted from the small pot to the 5-inch. Let the night temperature and moisture '■
be. such as to cause a nice refreshing dew to stand on the surface of the leaves
every morning. This wards off insects and gives vigour to the plant, hut it
should be dispelled during the day by the admission of air. Keep all green
lly away, if coddled in a house, they are almost sm-e to be attacked. If so,
the most cfleetual means must be adopted by placing them in a lofty position
and fumigating. As soon as the first root appears at the drainage bole, let
them be shifted intact and without injury into their blooming pots, making
sm-e that every pot is well drained, for no plant is more liable to become sickly
and yellow in wet sour soil than the Calceolaria. As soon as the pots become
well filled with roots, give liquid manure once a week, and stake out and .
lumigate thoroughly just before they show flowers, and the result will be a '
grand sight. Apply soot and bone meal to give darker foliage. |

I f requiruil to llowoi' in winter, seed must be sown in May or June.
The secret of growing well is to grow fast, never allowing them to
receive a cheoU, either from being pot bound, dryness of root, or
attack of insects, the cooler they are kept tlie better, just preventing
frost reaching them, and giving abundance of air. If the green aphis
is not kept thoroughly away there will not he a bloom worth seeing.
Uf course at all times the keenest observation of extreme tem-
perature must be made for cold, cutting draughts or a too glaring sun.

CANNELLS’ GOLD MEDAL SWEET PEAS.
Several acres under cultivation.
We devote much time and attoation to the cultivation and selection of this indispensable and sweetest of all flowers.
They are of easy oultivalion and thrive almost anywhere, and if sown early ensures still greater success and certainty. .So as to obtain the largest and
finest blossoms a trench should be opened about 1 foot deep, and put in 8 inches of well-rotted manure, followed with 4 inches of soil, and well incorporate
or mix, then proceed to sow the seeds over this, 3 inches apart along the row, and covering with earth to the depth of an inch. This should be done as
early as the ground can be conveniently prepared in the spring, and as the young plants grow, fill up the trench around them with good soil.

A FEW POINTS WORTH ATTENTION.
FREE CARRIAGE OF SEEDS. — We send all Vegetable and Flower Seeds carriage paid to any place in the United Kingdom, excepting.
Peas and Beans, Potatoes. Aptiehokes, and special quotations, when any or all of these are ordered in small quantities, as in many such
cases the carriage nearly, if not quite, absorbs the value of the goods.
Potatoes and Sundries, &c., arc only sent free if the value amounts to 20 j. in England, and 40s. in Scotland and Ireland, and upwards, when we
send the whole carriage paid. We do not pay carriage on Pot Plants, Trees, Shrubs, or Bulbs ; but extra plants, &c., are added gratis in lieu of carriage.
EMPTY PACKAGES Wc charge at cost price, and allow two-thirds price if returned in good condition and carriage paid, and must be in all
cases accompanied with sender's name and address and advised by post.
Although every care will be taken in the packing and sending of plants, seeds, &c., risk of every description must be borne by the purchaser
immediately they are delivered to the lladway Company or Postal Authorities.
Every article is charged at the vary lowest price. Our object Is to give the ready-mouey buyers the advantages they
are really entitled to. It may happen that prices lower than ours may sometimes be quoted. This Invariably means
false economy in a variety of wavs— good things must be looked after by good men, who must be fairly paid, and
good strains are only procured by unceasing labour and care.
Full instructions as to the proper mode of forwarding must accompany each order, as it is calculated to expedite transit of goods, and saves
vexatious mistakes. All goods are advised the same day as forwarded, and the invoice posted as soon as possible afterwards.
Say by what rail. Please to write the address plain and in full on each order. No complaints entertained unless made immediately
on receipt of goods.
The. (jrmttxl care ix e.ccrcixed, and ufmoxl liheralihj xhoivit, when /he selection of sorts is left to us.
It is particularly requested that all small orders under 10s. be accompanied with remittance to avoid the
necessity of Booking, and very often the trouble of rendering and even re-rendering several times to our
loss and probable annoyance to our Customers.
Cash with order is a sound way of doing business, and it enables us to give you advantages
in our goods and also prices.
All Orders by Post will be dealt with precisely as if given personally. Those who send above their value
will have additional put in to make up the full amount.
IPe hare every facility for keeping a large stock of everything enumerated in this Catalogue, and are therefore determined to adopt the system
of quick sale and ready money.
SEEDS AND BULBS FOR EXPORT — .4.11 these are specially selected for Export Orders, and careftilly and securely packed in tin-lined
cases. Plants in suitable boxes.
Our establishments are open for business, &c., from 6 o’clock a.m. until 6 p.m., and 5 o’clock p.m. on Saturday.
No visitors admitted on Saturday evenings and Sundays. Closed on all Bank Holidays.
Customers are particularly requested, when sending orders for friends (with their own), to do so on separate papers,
with each address written plainly, to prevent mistakes.
Wr- When Special (Quotations are given. Customers are kindly requested to mention such.
To avoid delay and disappointment, all business communications must be sent direct to the firm
addressed “H. CANNELL & SONS," otherwise they will remain unnoticed.
Telegraphic Address: “CANNELL, Eynsford,” Telephone, No. 24, Farnlngham.
Post Office and Postal Orders to be made payable at Eynsford, Kent, and. crossed “& Co.”
All Cheques to be made payable to H. CANNELL & SONS, and crossed Martin’s Bank.
Not as ill co-operative societies, do we demand payment beforehand, unless from unknown correspondents, wlien satisfactory references to bankers,
or some person already known, are equally acceptable. So as to encourage quick returns and but small profits, wo allow 6 per cent, discount (excepting
Collections of Seeds, which are strictly nett) on all payments made within 14 days of date of invoice, but after that date must be remitted in full.
When special prices are quoted, accounts are payable one month from date of invoice and no discount. We cannot undertake to send a receipt for payments
under 2s. 6d., unless the return postage is sent us.
Wc hope all customers will apprise us of change of address, thus saving the annoyance to them of redirection by postal officials ; a halfpenny card
would thus save us a shilling, and often pounds. Should any Customers not receive our Catalogues at the usual seasons of the year, we shall be pleased
to send copies of same upon hearing from them. Many are lost in transit.
We grow our own Seeds, and every possible pains taken, and the strictest attention is paid to have ane
' ’ supply every item as per Catalogue: but there are so many always anxious to rush into litigation for the
sake of compensation for any trifle, and failures which may occur over which perhaps we have no control, that we ard
compelled to issue this notice : —
C O N D I T I O N S F SALE beheve that all Seeds, Bulbs and Roots sold by us are of the description
. . * and kind specified by us at the time of sale; but owing to the practical
impossibility, in many cases, of being certain of this, we give no undertaking that such Seeds, Bulbs or Roots will correspond
with the description under which they are sold, and we make all sales subject to this condition. We further give no Warranty,
express or implied, as to their growth, description, quality or productiveness, and will not be in any way responsible for the
Crop. If the Purchaser does not accept the goods sold to him on these terms, they are at once to be returned to us. (These
conditions will be found in all Seed Catalogues.)
We have received intimation from the various Railway Companies that for the future they will
not pay any claims for damage or delay of goods sent at “Owner’s Risk” rates; we therefore beg to
inform our customers that our responsibility ceases as soon as goods are delivered into the hands of
the Railway Company, and, in justice to ourselves, we cannot supply otherwise than on these conditions.
All goods forwarded at “Owner’s Risk” elfect a great saving in cost of carriage, and which we consider
of great interest to our patrons; we shall therefore continue to dispatch parcels at “Owner’s Risk”
unless specially requested to forward them at “Company” Risk.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL NOTICES.
Plants and Seeds are despatched to India through the India Parcel Post, and also hy the Ordinary Mail. Customers will
kindly notify by which service they wish their parcels sent.
In America, Australia, India and Cape Town, the general expression amongst both the trade and amateurs is— “ A^owe are
go successful in exporting plants as Ccmnell cj* Sons ’’ ; consequently, we need hardly say our trade has increased to a very great extent.
When Soft-wooded Plants are received abroad, if dry, let them lie in milk-w^m water from three to six hours,
without removing the packing from the roots ; then unpack and put in pots, according to size, place in a close glass case, being
careful to shade from the sun until they make fresh growth.
All orders must be fully prepaid or accompanied by satisfactory reference.
EXPORT ORDERS COMMAND THE PROMPTEST ATTENTION.
