H. CANNELL & SONS’ LIST OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
SINGLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS, NEW DEPARTURE 
SECTION. 
If we were to print half the extracts from the various horticultural papers and the letters from those 
to whom we have sent flowers, including some of the highest titled patrons in the land, they would 
fill many pages, therefore we are convinced the following will suffice to cause these most highly useful 
and easjly grown flowers to be cultivated in every garden. Are figured in the Gardeners' Magazine, 
Journal of Horticulture , and Florist and Pomologist. They are little or no trouble to grow, produce 
more blooms, last longer in good condition, either cut or uncut than the doubles, in persistency of petal 
the single Dahlias bear no comparison, neither do they for real beauty and use. Further, they have 
a nice perfume, and for all kinds of decoration will not only add a new charm, but fill our tables with 
brightness and beauty tip to and past Christmas.

Messrs. Cannell & Sons exhibited handsome boxe3 of cut Chrysanthemums, representing 
the whole family. Singles were very attractive ; Japanese were very bright and beautiful ; 
the Incurves were fine in substance and colour ; the Reflexed varieties were very striking.’ 
THE FIRST CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW IN ENGLAND was held at Norwich in the year 
1830, and the names of the varieties exhibited were : — Tasselled Yellow, Clustered Pink, Yellow 
Cluster, Silver White, Yellow Flame, Early Blush, Changeable Pale Buff, Large Lilac, and Golden
