Journal of Horticulture, July 12, 1888. 

 " I dropped in at Mr. Cannell's. It is impossible to ex- 

 aggerate the beauty of some of the flowers which I saw. I had 

 only time to run through the grand Pelargonium house, the 

 Ivy-leaved Pelargoniums, and the single and double Begonias ; 

 but what a blaze of beau y there was ! Then, when one recol- 

 lects the old Ivy-leaf Pelargonium, and sees the wondrous 

 trusses of double flowers and beautiful colours which are yet 

 to come out. we wonder what will follow. The same of 

 Begonias. The marvellous single and double varieties are 

 bewildering in their beauty. There was also a grand new 

 Heliotrope finer than anything I had seen. Had I been able 

 to remain I should doubtle-s have seen many wonderful things 

 but I saw enough to convince me that the Home of Flower-Tis 

 in no danger of losing its reputation." 



The Gardening World, July 28, 1888. 

 , SOMKBSnBHIBI RECTOR says :— " I saw Begonias at Swan- 

 ley Their beauty well repays a visit : the shape, colour and 

 habit are excellent. If anything is wanted where everything 

 is so near perfection it is a more upright flower-stalk, Which i 

 few more seasons will certainly produce." 



The Horticultural Times, July 28, 1888. 

 F D. Lvon, E-,,., -ays:-" At Messrs. Cannell's establish- 

 ment alone in all England can Begonias and Zonal* be seen 



grown to perfection. With other collections , if th families 



comparisons are odious." 



The Press says .-—"Cannell's Begonias were the centre of 

 attraction at the Great Show at Liverpool, August 6, 1S»S 

 Awarded I irst-class Certificate* 



Frequent trains from London. Entrance from 

 the station. All lovers of the best Flowers and 

 Vegetables are cordially invited. No horticultural 

 establishment is filled u-ith such an amount of 

 interesting objects as ours at all seasons. SEND
