FOREIGN AND COLONIAL NOTICES. 
Plants and Seeds are despatched to India through the Indian Parcel Post, and also bj the 
ordinary mail. Customers will kindly notify by which service they wish their parcels sent. 
In Ameriea, Australia, India, and Cape Town, the general expression amongst both the trade and 
amateurs is “ .Afone are so successful in exporting plants as Cannelt ^ Sons," consequently we need 
hardly say onr trade has inereased to a very great extent. 
Wnen Plants are reoeived abroad let them He in milk-warm water for six horns 
without removing the packing from the roots ; then nnpaek and put in pots, according to size, 
being carefnl to shade from sun, draught, and kept close until they make fresh growth. 
ALL ORDERS MUST BE FULLY PREPAID.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE. 
"XrJBSrE have now so perfeeted the system of sending plants and seeds into the most remote 
parts of the world that sueeess is no longer an uneertainty. 
AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, INDIA, AND CHINA. 
M S there any didSculty in getting plants and seeds out alive and in good condition to the most 
distant parts? No; none whatever. We have exported thousands of cases with for more 
success and less expense to those furthermost parts than has ever been done before. The 
main thing to ensure success is to let us have the order early, giving ns time to prepare the plants, 
and to send at the exact and best time, and in all cases the way of packing had better be left entirely 
in our hands. Our post system for most things is certainly preferable, but such as Azaleas, Camellias, 
Fruit Trees, &c., should be left to us. Chrysanthemums we grow many thousands, especially for 
foreign trade ; and there is hardly a show but what the plants that we have sent out are not figuring 
most prominently. 
IIVIF»ROVEr> F»EANTS. 
Nothing is hailed with more joy by all lovers of Floriculture than gradual and marked improve- 
ment in onr Florists’ Flowers from year to year. Changes without attractiveness are of little or no 
value ; new colours and stout dwarf growth are qualities immediately sought for. We should be 
glad to hear from any amateurs or gardeners havii^ new and improved varieties of plants „(also 
vegetables, see Seed Catalogue) enumerated in our Floral Guide; they must be a decided advance 
on all existing kinds. 
A^UfilC'ULAS. 
JHESE are amongst the most charming sights we know of, and- are certain to attract 
notice from those most oblivions to the beauties of flowers, their perfect form a«d 
wonderful colouring rendering them the cynosure of all eyes ; whilst, in addition 
to their great loveliness, they possess that great desideratum in flowers — long-lasting blossouu.
