TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. 
BOTH SINGLE A NO DOUBLE. 
t UR BEGONIAS are lovely indeed. Ten Houses, 100 feet each, filled with the choicest of 
the choice. Colours so wide, deep, varied, and brilliant, together with their short stiff 
growth and freeness in flowering, shows a marked development and advance on the ordinary 
strains. Our two acres out of doors, consisting of at least 200,000 plants, were all the 
season the grandest sight ever seen in this family. Our New Crimson Scarlets are a surprising 
advance. These, together with all our other trials of all the best flowers and vegetables, is a great 
horticultural treat, and should be seen by all so as to ensure success for next season. 
JOURNAL OF HORTICULTURE. 
“ I dropped in at Mr. Cannell’s. It is impossible to exaggerate the beauty of some of the flowers 
which I saw. 1 had only time to run through the grand Pelargonium house, the Ivy-leaved Pelar- 
goniums, and the single and double Begonias ; but what a blaze of beauty there was ! Then, when 
one recollects the old Ivy-leafed Pelargonium, and sees the wondrous trusses of double flowers and 
beautiful colours which are yet to come out, we wonder what will follow, 'i'lie same of Begonias. 
The marvellous single and double varieties are bewildering in their beauty. There was also a grand 
new Heliotrope, finer than anything I had seen. Had I been able to remain I should doubtless 
have seen many wonderful things, but I saw enough to convince me that the ‘ Home of Flowers’ is iu 
no danger of losing its reputation.” 
SoMEKSETSHiKE Rector says : — “ I saw Begonias at Swanlcy. Their beauty well repays a visit; 
the shape, colour, and habit are excellent. If anything is wanted where everything is so near 
perfection it is a more upright flower-stalk, which a few more seasons will certainly produce.” 
F. D. Lyon, Esq., says: — “At Messrs. Cannells’ establishment alone in alt England can 
Begonias and Zonals be seen grown to perfection. With other collections of these families 
comparisons are odious.” 
7’he Press says: — “ Cannells Begonias were the centre of attraction at the great show at 
Liverpool, August 6th, 1888. Awarded First-class Certificate.” 
Frequent trains from London. Entrance from the station. All lovers of the best Flowers and 
Vegetables are cordially invited. No horticultural establishment is filled with such an amount of 
interesting objects as ours at all seasons. SEND FOR A CATALOGUE.
