and edged with red. There were two or three vases of the lovely 
I.eedsii Evangeline. Mr. Cartwright told me that my description of 
it as a “ bicolor Homespun ” had " caught on.” I do not think any 
description can convey a better idea of its appearance than this. 
Seagull is a splendid thing to grow in pots; it is so very floriferous 
and it responds so easily to gentle heat. Glory of Leiden is a general 
favourite and a variety that I can strongly recommend. Castile looked 
more beautiful than ever. I had never seen it grown under glass 
before, and now I have seen it I must have a potful next year. Mrs. 
H. J. Veitch is a deeper-coloured Emperor, with an almost 1'enby- 
shaped perianth. Autocrat, the old soft yellow incomparabilis, is 
still without a rival in its own particular type. I have found out this 
year how well it does in pots. These and many others, such as White 
Lady, Sunset, Mme. de Graaff and Johnstonii Queen of Spain were all 
to be seen in excellent condition.

“THE GARDEN,” April 17th, 1909. 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin, Kidderminster, displayed 
a fine lot of Daffodils, such as King Alfred, Brigadier, Orangeman, 
Weardale Perfection, Pilgrim, Duke of Bedford, Evangeline, Eusilier, 
White Lady, Coreen, and many more. A very charming exhibit of 
sterling varieties. Silver Flora medal. 
“THE GARDEN,” April 24th, 1909. 
At Vincent Square, on April 6th, there was some very nice groups 
shown. Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin had another beautiful exhibit 
of flowers opened under glass, for which they received a Silver Flora 
medal. There were three or four varieties that were particularly fine, 
e.g., Weardale Perfection, Fusilier, Beacon and Castile. The last 
named seemed peculiarly suited for growing in pots for very late 
forcing. The unique colouring is softened and the amber of the perianth 
seems just the shade to go with the apricot-orange cup. There was a g 1 od 
vase of Outpost, which may be described as a handsome, early, large 
trumpet with Glory of Leiden colouring. It opens with me at the 
same time as Duke of Bedford, and on this account is valuable. 
Armorel is another early variety ; it has rather a pointed white perianth 
and a flat cup with a distinct orange red edge. Mariette is a pretty 
little flower with a deep yellow, flat cup, edged red. 
“THE GARDEN,” March 27th, 1909. 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin, Kidderminster, exhibited a delight- 
ful collection of Narcissi, in which Queen of Spain, White Lady, 
Evangeline, Seagull, Mme. de Graaff, Queen of Holland, Weardale 
Perfection, and a great variety of others were noticed. This was a 
truly wonderful group, and fully deserved the silver-gilt llanksian 
medal which was awarded.
