have been awarded more (Jold Medals than any other firm for 30 years. Although we 
do not grow for competition, we have exhibited the largest and most complete collections 
v>T//\T^ many of the finest flowers, and made the greatest display. * 
It should be distinctly understood that we grow above 1,000 plants of the Show and Fancy 
class nlone to the peatest perfection ; in fact, they form quite a grand feature m our Nursery 
and the following list is unquestionably most complete. 
When these are well grown they are one of the noblest and mest beautifully made Howers in 
cultivation, but to grow them well they must have an anxious and industrious master for 
their wants are continual from June to September. They require a good deep soil ’well 
trenched, and full of manure. Obtain, about the end of April, wiry small-stemmed plants 
shift them at once into 6-inch pots', keep them in a frainp with the lights only kept on at night ’ 
plant them out when the first warm nights in June arrive, well stake them as they grow, and 
cover the ground with four inches of stable manure, watering them overhead every day or 
oftener if the weather be very dry, and thinning the lateral shoots out in the case of medium 
growers, but those with large flowers less, supjilying the plants when making their flower buds 
with a soaking of liquid manure, besides washing them overhead every night to keep thrip 
from the flowers. The above directions are for show purposes, and the following varieties are 
most constant, finest for exhibition, and also make a grand display in shrubbery borders where 
allowed to grow as they like. 
For ten successive years we were awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society, South Kensington 
(void and Silver Gilt Medals for the best and most complete collections.
