many years from tlie Trimardeau] and other similar strains, am,l these should, correctly speaking,

that have caused such a sensation and rage in Covent Garden, as well as throughout London, the 
last season. Per pkt„ Is. 6rf. and 2s. Qd.

The grand collection of Show Pansies from seed you sent me three years ago created (pute a 
sensation among my friends. 
M. DoKRtNGTON, Esq., Mai'iton Place, Cottle’s Oak, Erome. 
.1 ust a word or two in praise of your Begonia seed. I had a packet of each sort (double and 
single) from you in the spring, and now 1 have about sixty plants of the single and forty of the 
double. Most of them have bloomed and have turned out far above my expectations. A friend 
of mine sent to another well-known house for his double seed, and succeeded in raising three 
plants, which he gave away, as they were not worth keeping, having all bloomed single. 
Mr. CnA.s. Holt, Gardener to Major Allfrey, Wakefield Park, Mortimer. 
1 still retain a most vivid recollection of your beautiful Begonias from seed, also the long 
talk 1 had with you respecting them. My friends, to whom I described them, were astonished 
at the superiority of your strain. I hope this coming summer to [ ay you a visit and see you in 
all your glory.

I am glad to say I succeeded in keeping up the well-deserved reputation of your Double 
Begonia seeds in Russia. The specimens I raised were so beautiful that I resolved to e.xhibit 
them at the Russian General Horticultural Exhibition, 1 alone of the seven exhibitors received 
the highest prize, a gold medal. Your plants were very much admired, and I promised to do 
I all that lay in my power to exhibit them in greater number in future. I labelled my plants 
I *• raised from the seeds of the English Horticulturists, Cannell & Sons, Swanley, Kent.”
