CANNELLS’ PIGMY ANTIRRHINUMS 
AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE R.H.S. 
ER HOUJiE 
It will bo observed how dwarf and massive arc ours contrasted with an old-fashioneil kind in the centre, and which was arranged to show the 
difference of habit and freeness of character between the Eynsford strain and that of the older varieties. For several years we have been selecting our 
well-known and richly-varied strain of Dwarf Antirrhinums until we have succeeded in obtaining most satisfactory results. From the reports gathered 
from the Gardening I’ress any further description on our part is unnecessary.

THE GARDEN. 
Messrs. Canneli & Sons sent three baskets of nice Antirrhinums, a dwarf yellow Golden Gem being |)articularly pleasing. 
THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE. 
Messrs. H. Canneli & Sons exhibited an uncommonly dwarf type of Antirrhinums. Thi flowers were pure yellow, purple, crimson and yellow , 
and other shades of colour ; so ne also were striped in bizarre fashion. 
A plant that has flowered well this dry, hot season, and which generally does when circum.stances are similar, is the Antirrhinum, of which a 
very dwarf type was shown by Messrs, fl. Canneli & Sons at a meeting of the R.H.S. on 28th ,Tuly. In small gardens or forming edges and similar 
uses the dwarf type is an excellent one, and Messrs. Cannell’s plants bore clear, distinct, self-coloured flowers or variously striped or mottled oites. 
THE GARDENERS’ MAGAZINE. 
Dwarf Antirrhinums possess a considerable value for beds and borders, as their free branching habit enables them to continue in bloom for 
a much longer period than the taller kinds, which produce a comparatively small number of spikes, and, moreover, the lower part of the older spikes 
are so hidden by those of later development that the seed pods resulting from the earlier flowers, which are so unsightly in the case of the tall straius, 
are not seen. A very fine strain was shown at Westminster by Messrs. H. Canneli & Sons, of Swanley, of wdiich the plants were about six inches in 
height, and furnished with large nninbers of spikes bearing flowers distinguished by their large size and effective colouring.
