Gardeners' Chronicle. 
u 1* loral Committee of R. II. Society. — Many as have been the floricultural triumphs of Messrs. 
C ANNE Li, none will probably bring them more renown than the collection of Primulas which to-day 
came from the “ Home of blowers, splendidly grown and flowered, and of well-selected varieties ; it 
was a group that gained the admiration of all, and higher praise could hardly he given. Most 
strikingly distinct and most attractive of all was a real red Primula— the Swanley Red— that took the 
popular fancy amazingly, and which may be said has no rival. Other sorts of undoubted quality were 
the Swanley White, Improved, Swanley Purple, and Swanley Carminata, all represented by a 
number of plants, each in a 48 pot, in all respects remarkable for their stout, leathery leaves and 
robust trusses of beautiful flowers thrown sufficiently above the foliage to show every pip to the best 
advantage.” 
Covent Garden Gazette. 
“ Swanley is becoming the Mecca of florists, and deservedly so. Messrs. Cannell’s list of novelties 
seems inexhaustible ; and the autumn Catalogue to hand is ii witness to this fact. Like 1 The Home 
of Flowers ’ itself, it makes little outward show in the shape of Dutch gilt, but inside its pa"es— like 
inside the gates at Swanley — there is a treat awaiting all lovers of flowers.”

SINGLE PRIMULAS. — Our Single Primulas have been awarded more First-Class 
Certificates than probably all other firms put together. Our “White Perfection ” is known 
as the perfection of Primulas, and our standing varieties the finest in existence. Box of 
blooms sent to any address for Six Stamps. 
“Caunell possesses the finest single sorts in the trade; their White Pebfection is matchless

“ So good as to well deserve a first-class certificate.” — Gardeners' Magazine. 
“ Cannell’s Primulas, 30 plants, rare quality, and very high cultural merit .”— Daily Chronicle. 
The Four most popular and well-known, the best new and useful Primulas 
ever offered. 
All who have seen our exhibits for many years past will acknowledge that we have both grown 
and shown flic finest plants ever seen, and produced more new and standing varieties than any other 
firm. Our seveial Houses all through the Winter, both singlfand double, is a sight not equalled 
111 til c world— Swanley White, Red, Purple, and Blue, improve year by year, until they nearly 
approach perfection. ' J 
IMPROVEMENT.— The highest bright-red, is a grand march onwards of the Swanley. Red type, 
halut. size, substance, and fiery colour of its flowers far excels all others; habit, and freeness 
together with its fine flowers, constitute it a gem. First-Class Certificate. (See Coloured Plate ’!
