EXTRA CHOICE FLOWER SEEDS, 
EXPRESSLY FOR AMATEURS. 
All admit we are the only Firm in England that have ever 
grown and invited all to come and see and be convinced that we 
have the best of everyiihing we offer for sale— it is a question if 
flower growing and seed saving and hybridising was ever carried 
out on such practical and scientific principles as at Swanley— 
certainly no Firm has exhibited so much and so often at the 
large shows such remarkable productions, and carried off so many 
high honours for improved and popular kinds ; in fact, we make 
all Florist Flowers our whole and sole pride and study, which 
the following will confirm. 
Giirdcncrs' Chronicle. 
Floral Committee of R. H. Society — Many as have been the floricultural triumphs of 
Messrs. Cannell, none will probably bring them more renown than the collection of Primulas 
which to-day came from the “ Home for Flowers,” splendidly grown and flowered, and of 
well selected varieties ; it was a group that gained the admiration of all, and higher praise 
could hardly be gained. Most strikingly distinct, and most attractive of all was a real red 
Primula— the Swanley Bed — that took the popular fancy amazingly, and of which it may be 
said that it has no rival. Other sorts of undoubted quality were the Sioanloj White, Habra 
Improved, Swanley Purple, and Swanley Carminata, all represented by a number of plants, 
each in a 48 pot, in all respects remarkable for their stout leathery leaves and robust 
trusses of beautiful flowers thrown suflSciently above the foliage to show every pip to 
the best advantage.

Report of Chrysanthemum Show. — Messrs. Cannell also illustrate the latest flori- 
cultural achievements in deepening the colour and augmenting the general beauty of 
flowers, and were awarded a First Class Certifleate.
