NEW FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES. 
Since 1 85 7 our House has been responsible for considerably over two hundred introductions to the 
P loral World, and this number is now being rapidly approached by the number of New Varieties of Vegetables 
emanating from our establishment, and pronounced of sterling merit by competent judges. As far as space will 
allow these novelties are to be easily identified by The Royal Horticultural Society’s Reports, as in most cases we 
prefer to Catalogue only those new kinds that are fortunate enough to be launched with a 
FIRST CLASS CERTIFICATE OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
