CHRY SANTHEM UMS 



AT THE NATIONAL GREAT SHOW 

 last week we were awarded the highest 

 honours, " The Society's Silver-gilt Medal." 



It is remarkable that the greater proportion of 

 first prizes went to Kent, and from whence nearly 

 all the best blooms came. 



What is even more remarkable, of the many 

 thousands of growers from all parts of Europe 

 whom we have had the pleasure of supplying, 

 not a complaint was heard; all was praise and 

 gratitude for the fine, fresh, stout, clean cuttings 

 andplants which carried them to victory. Send
