The following are a few short extracts from the Press respecting Last Season's Exhibition : — 
“ The Times.” 
“ The Annual Exhibition of Orchids of Mr. William Bull, in the King’s Road, Chelsea, undoubtedly 
ranks highest among the Flower Shows of the Season in respect of the exquisite beauty of the flowers 
and the picturesque effect with which they are arranged, and this year’s display is rendered specially 
notable by the introduction of several new varieties." 
“Gardeners’ Chronicle.” 
“ Wc have no hesitation in saying that the Exhibition which Mr. Bull opened on Tuesday eclipses all 
his previous efforts in the same direction. His show-house is a scene of the greatest Orchidic beauty, 
baffling description, and we had almost said defying exaggeration. In truth, it is a marvellous display 
for any Nurseryman to create single-handed, and it speaks volumes for the resources of Mr. Bull’s 
Establishment.” 
‘‘The American Visitor.” 
“ It may confidently be declared that Mr. William Bull’s Exhibition, in King’s Road, Chelsea, offers 
a sight unparalleled in the World, what Orchids may be under the best conditions as shown by Mr. Bull 
will be a revelation even to the largest growers. Not he himself could tell, perhaps, how many thousand 
plants of endless variety in tint, form and habit, are here displayed at their supremest beauty.” 
“The Garden.” 
“ Once more flower lovers crowd Mr. Bull’s Nursery in the King’s Road, Chelsea, attracted by the 
fascinating flower feast annually provided for them there, during the Orchid Flowering Season. Marvel- 
lous as these Shows have been in previous years, the present undoubtedly eclipses its predecessors, not 
only in extent, but also in variety and novelty.” 
“ Gardener’s Magazine.” 
“ Extensive, comprehensive, rich and tasteful, as have been the several Exhibitions of Orchids 
previously held by Mr. Bull, at his establishment in the King’s Road, Chelsea, they will not for a moment 
bear comparison with that now being held. It is indeed a truly marvellous Exhibition, and to say that at 
no time since Orchids have engaged the attention of English Cultivators, has there been such a marvellous' 
display of this important class, is the barest statement of fact.”
