CANNELLS’ CHAMPION BELT COMPETITIONS 
Have proved of great national importance, showing how Vegetables, Fruits, and Flowers should be when near perfection ; and 
the longer these prizes are contended for, and the more generally they are taken up, so will healthy conditions follow. Kent 
had 10 entries, and a sharp competition ensued, exhibits coming in from all parts of the county (as will be seen by its report) ; 
and we hope many more will contend, thus increasing their store of knowledge, and enabling them to conduct their gardening 
with much more ease and success for the benefit of themselves personally, and thus improving the whole district.

Amongst the exhibits for our many prizes in various parts of the country it is surprising wimt a lot of inferior productions are put up, while an enormous 
o must be left at hoine. and to have both Vegctable.s aud Flowers more uniform in quality aud eoiTectly named for the future, all seeds must COme 
direct from us. In nearly all instances the winning exhibits are from our seed-tbis being so, it will bo greatly to the advantage of all to make this 
compulsory, ^iy.11 now be understood th at only those who have had their seed from us can compete for any prize, offered by us.
