each variety is gorgeous and fiuely contrasted ; they bloom from July to October. Before the frost

are the most distinct and beautiful varieties : —

beautiful when the bloom unfolds itself in the

“Tiif, Swan LEY Home of Flowers. — Should anyone who 1ms never been to Swanley rush to 
the conclusion that they have seen everything Mr. Oannell and his talented Sons have to show, 
either at tho Temple or the Drill Hall, or at any other show ; if to, they are mistaken. They should 
visit the Nursery and see for themselves. There is one house, for instance, worth going a hundred 
miles to s?e. There may be as good elsewhere; there cannot well be better. Those who want to see 
an effective floral show should take a trip to Swauley." — A. D , Journal of Horticulture,
