H. CANNBLL & SONS’ AUTUMN CATALOGUE. 
H. CANNELL & SONS’ 
OP EVERY DESCRIPTION AT THE ACTUAL GROWERS PRICES. 
It is of the utmost importance to all who require Wedding 
and other Bouquets, aud cut flowers, that they should have 
them direct from the growers at wholesale prices, no flowers 
are grown in Covent Garden, it is therefore obvious that the 
distance is the same, any quantity can be packed so as to travel 
safe, and as the LONDON, CHATHAM, & DOVER is in 
direct communication with all the other Railways, punctuality 
can bo safely relied upon. In giving orders it is necessary that 
plenty of time is allowed, and that the actual object required is 
distinctly stated ; no set pricg can be stated, as that differs so 
materially with the season. Button-holes sent regularly by post. 
Extract from “ Gh-cenvrich Observer and Kentish Mail." 
The Bouquet for the Princess of Wales.—” The very wet weather on Saturday last completely 
interfered with tho ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new Homes for Little Boys and 
Orphans at Swanley, and all arrangements were postponed for another and, we trust, a finer day. M e 
have been favoured with an inspection of the bouquet prepared for presentation to the Princess, which, 
failing of its Boyal destination, was afterwards given to a lady who lives at St. John’s. It consisted 
of the most choice collection of Gloxinias which the noted florists, Messrs. Cannell, of Swanley, could 
produce, with a garland of exquisite Maiden-hair Ferns, interspersed with a kind of Double Jessamine, 
the aroma of which was most delicate. The pureness of the white waxy bells and the rich splaskings 
of the Gloxinias, with the grace and delicacy of the Ferns, lent a perfect charm to the bouquet, fit 
indeed for the hand of Her Royal Highness, and reflecting great credit on Messrs. Cannell. We 
never saw anything more artistic and so exquisitly simple and graceful.” 
Frequent Trains (London, Chatham, and Dover Railway) from Victoria, Holborn Viaduct,
