A WONDERFUL EXHIBITION OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS ! 
The Editor of the Journal of Horticulture made a special report last November of all the best 
displays of Chrysanthemums in or near London, and the following is that alluding to ours 
Messrs. H. CANNELL & SONS, Swanley.— An extraordinary display of Chrysanthe- 
mums is at the “ Home for Flowers,” unquestionably the most extensive of its kind around 
London. Four span-roof houses, each 100 feet long and 12 feet wide, with a path down 
the centre, are devoted to the plants, which are arranged in compact dwarf banks, thus 
forming a continuous run of 800 feet. As may be readily imagined, some thousands of 
plants are employed to furnish such a wonderful exhibition, and Mr. H. Cannell states 
that he has representatives of nearly 900 varieties, including all the best of the old forms, 
a considerable number of the new Continental variety, together with the recent English- 
raised varieties, and an American race of single and semi-double forms. Great care is 
exercised to ensure the names being correct, and the stock is now being thoroughly 
examined to correct any errors that may have hitherto passed unnoticed. 
In the almost innumerable ranges of pits are fine collections of Chrysanthemums; and 
an admirable system is adopted of placing each variety in groups by themselves for keeping 
them true to name. Altogether, the wonderful collection of plants to be found in these 
Nurseries are both a surprise and delight to the visitor, and testify more eloquently than 
words can do to Messrs. Cannell & Sons’ energy ."—Journal of Horticulture.
