H. CANNELL & SONS’ 
GRAND NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS for 1888. 
These are our own raising, from the same hatch, and probably from the same head of seed, as 
those which were exhibited at the Royal Aiinarinm, and caused the greatest sensation throughout 
the world, and was pronounced the best new batch ever sent out in one lot. The varieties now 
offered, we have no doubt, will be as highly spoken of. 
AVALATTCHE— We cannot do better than quote Mr. Molyneux's description, who says:— 
“ Avalanche, a pure white .Japanese variety having large, very full, rounded flowers, remarkable for 
the solidity of the florets, which are long, thin, and of a flat character. One of the best features of 
this variety is the dwarf, sturdy habit of growth. As an exhibition flower, it is sure to be much 
sought after for its fine build and purity of colour. In my opinion, it is the finest white Chrysanthe- 
mum in cultivation.” 7.t. Gd. each. • 
The Editor of The Garden (Noveihber 19th, 1887) says— 
“ The flower of Avalanche was the perfection of beauty, measuring fully 7 inches across, and of 
great solidity and depth.”
