Extract from the “ British Gardening.” 
“It is not generally known that Mr. II. Cannell, of Swanley, proposed that the ‘National 
Chrysanthenuim Society’ should assume that title. The Society, as reported a week or two 
a "0 in this journal, was originally a local organization, but Mr. Cannell, with his charactcnslic far- 
sightedness, saw a future before it if it would but adopt the title of the National Chrysanthemum 
Society. The then president scouted the idea and vigorously opposed it. Eventually, however, 
it ivas adopted, with the results already known— namely, that it has grown into a powerful 
institution with a very wide reputation.” 
11. Cannell, Seur., would be glad to propose those sending 5s. as Members of the above Society.

.1. B. Wroe, Esq., Alexandra Road, Ratricroft, near Manchester, December 17tk, 18%. 
I am exceedingly pleased with the Chrysanthemums you sent. They are as usual e.xcellent, 
altogether refuting the argument that northern growers ought to purchase from the north. 
J. McNicol, Esq., Ottawa, December 11th, 1896. 
With much pleasure I inform you that I took First Pri/.e for best group of Chrysanthemuins 
at our Show with the plants received from you. This speaks well for your plants and packing,
