PUBLIC IMPORTANT N OTICE.' 



AT p. 411 of the "Gaideners' Chronicle," 

 last week, under National Chrysanthemums, a very 

 grave error appears (see my replv, p. 426, in last week s issue), 

 and as this matter has appeared in that Journal, I would like to 

 ask the "Public Opinion" upon the matter, of which my 

 Catalogue is a sore contention, viz., Gaining Gold Medals with 

 other people 's Flowers and Plants. Is it right ? Mr. R. Dean, 

 Secretary to the N.C.S., writes me, there is no restric ion to 

 miscellaneous exhibitors. They may get their stutf from any. 

 where they please ; the Medals are not awarded to the 

 exhibitors, but to the exhibits. This letter is now in the funds 

 of Mr. T. W. Saunders, Chairman of the N.C S. Mr. Dean 

 also refused to bring my letters before the committee ; he ce 

 the notes in my Catalogue, which will be sent free to anyone 

 upon application. And I a*k again, How much longer are the 

 N C.S. going to encourage trade-exhibitors to beg, buy. or 

 borrow blooms and foliage plants, and give them their bold 

 Medals, in order that they may advertise "Awarded so many 

 Gold Medals " ? Is thus the kind of honours Englishmen are so 

 proud of? And how about Scotchmen? 



Speaking of honours, where do my last two seasons Novelties 

 stand, as an exhibitor's point of view, viz , G J. Warren 

 Lady Harham, Julia Sea ra manga, Lady_ Isobel .(incurved^ 



ie Pockett, John Pockett, Mrs. J. W. Barkes, Mrs- White 

 lain, Mr. T. Carrington, &c. ? Are j^ese any honour . 



NeJ 



Ndlie"p^kett has Teen awarded ! 22 First-Class Certificates or 

 Awards of Merit : John Pockett has been awarded 20 t irst- 

 class Certificates or Awards of Merit. Also the G>Id Medal HI 



Paris for 14 Novelties." 



And how will my Novelties of 1809 stand, viz, :^
