Extract from a Leading Article that appeared in the “ Chislehurst District Times." 
“ The Chislehurst gardeners were fortunate in securing a lecture from such a well-known 
horticulturist as Mr. Canuell, of the famous Horticultural Establishment at Swanley. 
Considerable interest is tikeii by the gardeners of Chislehurst in the weekly meetings of 
their Association, at which there is invariably a good attendance, so that it was not surprising 
that Mr. Caiincll should have received so enthusiastic a reception from the members on his 
visit to their rooms on Tuesday evening. Mr. Cannell chose the rose for his subject, and the 
members, judging from the crowded attendance and the interest manifested in the lecture, 
were glad of the opportunity of listening to so able an authority on the subject. Mr. Cannell 
grows an enormous number of roses every year, and is competent to speak from long experience, 
at a large nurseryman, on the best methods of its cultivation and treatment at all stages. As 
a lecturer Mr. Cannell is not only instructive, but entertaining, throwing a good deal of humour 
into liis remarks ; and as a true lover of all flowers he speaks with a sort of affection for their 
careful and proper treatment that appeals very forcibly to those who listen to him.”
