:: F.R.H.S. :: 
Importers and Exporters of all the best Florists' Seeds, 
Plants, and Sundries to and from all parts of the World. 
FOREIGN AND COLONIAL NOTICES. 
Plants and Seeds arc despatched to India through the Indian Parcel I’ost, and also by the ordinary mail. 
Customers will kindly notify by which service they wish their parcels sent. 
In America, Australia, India, and Cape Town, the general expression amongst both the trade and amateurs 
is “ None are so successful in exporting plants as Cannell and Sons," consequently we need hardly say our trade 
has increased to a very great extent. 
When Plants are received abroad let them lie in milk-warm water lor si.x hours without removing the 
packing from the roots ; then unpack and put in pots, according to size, being careful to shade from sun, draught, 
and kept close until they make fresh growth. 
ALL ORDERS MUST BE FULLY PREPAID. 
Telegraphic Address: “CANNELL, SWANLEY, ENGLAND." 
OUR FOREIGN TRADE. 
We have now so perfected the sytem of sending plants and .seeds into the most remote parts of the 
world that success is no longer an uncertainty. 
AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, INDIA, and CHINA. 
Is there any difficulty in getting plants and seeds out alive and in good condition to the most distant 
parts? No; none whatever. We have exported thousands of cases with far more success and less expense 
to those furthermost parts than has ever been done before. The main thing to ensure success is to let us have 
the order early, giving, us time to prepare the plants, and to send at the exact and best time, and in all cases 
the way of packing had better be left entirely in our hands. Our post system for most things is certainly pre- 
ferable, but such as Azaleas, Camellias, Fruit Trees, etc., should be left to us. There is hardly a show but 
what the plants that we have sent out are not figuring most prominently. 
IMPROVED PLANTS. 
Nothing is hailed with more joy by all lovers of Floriculture than gradual and marked improvement 
in our Florists’ Flowers from year to year. Changes without attractiveness are of little or no value ; new 
colours and stout dwarf growth are qualities immediately sought for. We should be glad to hear from any 
amateurs or gardeners having new and improved varieties of plants (also vegetables, see Seed Catalogue) enum- 
merated in our Floral Guide ; they must be a decided ad\ance on alt existing kinds. 
WE SPECIALIZE IN FOREIGN PACKING.
