CANNELLS’ ASTERS 
( Composiice). 
SILVER MEDAL ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, September, 1894, for Collection of Asters. 
An Award of Merit to Eynsford Yellow, see Novelties. 
ALL FLOWERS SHOWN IN THIS EXHIBIT WERE GROWN FROM ENGLISH SAVED SEED. 
H.ii.A. Aster-Comet, Improved 
GiantWhite — The flowers of this novelty 
are much larger than the white varieties 
introduced a few seasons ago, the petals 
being innch longer and broader. The 
centre of the flower is formed by a great 
number of fine golden-yellow florets, 
sliaped in the form of a hair, after a few 
days they unfold to regular florets, and 
change colour to a pure white, so that a 
flower of eight days is pure white ; the best 
Aster for show purposes. Is. 6rf. per pkt. 
H.H.A. Aster— Comet, White with 
Rosy-Pink — A welcome addition to this 
class, the liabit of the plant and shape 
of- the flower is equal to those of any 
other colour. The flower is white with 
a delicate hue of rosy-pink, later on the 
colouring becomes somewhat more in- 
tense; will become a general favourite.

THE GARDEN, 15th September, 1894, R.H.S. SHOW. i 
Me.ssrs. II. Canncll & Sons had a remarkably interesting display. The chief flowers consisted of charming forms of China Asters of the quilled | 
type. It was one of the finest displays we have ever seen, the flowers staged in bunches am! of remarkably clear and distinct colours. Kynrford i 
yit/foic was one of the most conspicuous: then there were those of the Mu/non type, imbricated pompom; Comet, Dwarf Chrysanthemum-flowered; ' 
and VUlvriit, the flowers iu every case being remarkably distinct in their characteristic colours (Silver Medal). i 
THE GARDEN, 15th September, 1894, R.H.S. SHOW. 
China Aster — Eynsford Yf.llow, from Meisrs. Cannell, Swaiiley. — This is a lovely Aster; a distinct and welcomed acquisition. It is of the 
quilled type, the flowers being full, neat, and of a delicate shade of yellow, with the whitish-gimrd florets just showing beyond the mass of central 
quilled florets. It is free, and we value it beoause it is so distinct in colour. 
GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE, 29th Septembsr, 1894. 
Asters at Eynsford have done rcin.arkably well, the plants all being unusually robust and free flowered. Plenty of examples were carrying upwards 
of forty blooms, and in one instunce*we noticed one with fifty-two, including large and small. All the different sections of the Aster are represented, 
and examination of the flowers showed, in spite of the reverss weather, the seed iu many ctu«cs was formed and already plump, only needing a little | 
Autumn sunshine to ripen a good harvest. ,
