Mr. E. S. , Highcombe Edge, Surrey. 
Indeed, it would be a rarity if vegetables and flowers from Cannells’ seeds did not stand first and foremost. I am glad to say they brought me 
thirteen firsts and also a special for the best exhibit. This should induce growers to patronise them. 
Mr. J. S. , Chesterfield. 
I have grown your golden seed by the side of seed supplied by a Lincolnshire firm, and the comparison is marvellous. I feel quite sure 
that once you get a customer you never lose them, because no seeds could possibly be better.
