SNOWBALL versus WHITE TOM THUMB GERANIUM. 
САД Messrs. E. G. Henderson & Son were pleased to draw an invidious comparison in last week's Gardeners Chronicle 
У Nass between a White Ge йа. - Bag ball (about to be offered to the püblic by us) and a White Geranium which Messrs. 
Aes UTI] E. G. Henderson & Son announce for distribution in 1865, and misnamed by them White Tom Thumb; they also append 
SN ISak уу а poo сору of what they term an “ Affirmation,” from Mr. James Keeler, the raiser of both the Geraniums iu question, 
ү We do not wish to take up the time of the publie by what we consider to be a useless squabble, and will endeavour 
т tà be аз concise as лее, м we should not have condescended to notice Messrs. E. G. Henderson & Son's remarks 
had they not attacked us in a direct manner. 
We give Меззтв, E. G. айдоо & 5 Son а direct. denial that „еу have the finest White Bedding Geranium. We herewith annex a verbatim сору of the 
ARRANTY we received from , and it should be borne in mind THAT THIS WAS AFTER HE HAD 
SOLD Messrs. E. G. He зр & Son their White Tom Thumb. :

to depreciate the goods in tbe possessio other. А 
We also wish to observe that we см по doubt Messrs, E. б. Henderson & Son are fully alive to the advantages of а “© selling " name, but at the same dee
