CANNELL’S grand new (JUBILEE) 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS, 1887. 
IJSfFREC'EmElfTKl* SiyC'CFSS. 
Fourteen First-Class Certificates awarded last year for New Chrysanthemums. We felt sure that 
we should succeed in raising some good seedlings, although the chance appeared a narrow one — the 
number to raise and grow to get a good one being immense. These, and the ones we have imported 
direct from Japan, make our list of new kinds the richest ever offered, for the first time the most 
important and totally distinct to any hitherto seen in this country. 
To have these well grown and shown, we offered £20 in Prizes, with the residt that at the Crystal 
Palace National Chrysanthemum Society Show, Kingston, Portsmouth, and Hull, they were the 
lions of the show, so much so, that both days at the Aquarium it was difficult to get even a glimpse of 
them. Those notified have been awarded a First-Class Certificate, and are universally acknowledged 
to be the greatest acquisitions introduced for many years.

Mrs. W. H. Ellis encloses postal order in payment for the Chrysanthemums, which gave great 
satisfaction. 
Mr. D. Lindsay, Otterspool Gardens, AJgburth, Liverpool, April 12th, 1887. 
I must congratulate you in your attempt to put on a sound basis judging by ballot at shows, as 
some of it has been scandalous under the three judges system. 1 should like to compete for your 
prizq, but we are so late in these parts. 
Mr. R. Spry, Murton Colliery, Sunderland, August 8th, 1887. 
I received the cuttings all right ; best thanks for having sent such good and healthy ones. 
Mr. F. Bennett, Pound, Cornwall, August \2th, 1887.
