 REMARKS ON SUPERB PJNKS. 



BY MR. BENJAMIN WILLIAMSON, MANOR STREET, CLAPTON. 



Having frequently seen applications in your Floricultural Cabi- 

 net, for a list of the best Florist's flowers, and where they may be 

 purchased ; in reply to which, I beg to state, that I am a great 

 admirer of Florist's flowers in general, but a principal object of my 

 attention is turned to that beautiful flower the Pink (which I am 

 proud to see taking so prominent a station in the minds of the 

 Floricultural World,) and which I spare no trouble to obtain, as I 

 generally endeavour to procure every good sort. Having visited 

 many places and having had an opportunity of seeing many grow- 

 ers, I can safely state, that I never met with any to excel what are 

 grown at Woolwich and its Neighbourhood, either as a Collection, 

 or for Blooming : as a proof of which, I beg to refer to the Me- 

 tropolitan Show on the 26th of June last, when three prizes out of 

 four, where taken by the Woolwich Growers, the first was award- 

 ed to Mr. Norman ; the second to Mr. Ibbett ; and the fourth to 

 Mr. Ward ; all of whom reside at Woolwich. Being myself an 

 Amateur Grower, I consequently grow none for sale, and when in 

 want of any Plants, I apply to Mr. Ibbett of Woolwich, who inva- 

 riably is sure to supply me with the best sorts, and perfectly cor- 

 rect under their proper names, I can therefore without hesitation 

 recommend him. The following are the best sorts in cultivation 

 that 1 can recommend to notice, and can be obtained of him at the 

 proper season, from the latter end of September till the begin- 

 ning of November.
