The firm of Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin staged in a shallow 
semi-circle about 100 vases, which must have represented quite eighty 
varieties. The whole had a graceful appearance, for between each 
vase there was a small pot of that pretty drooping Grass, Isolepis 
gracilis. There is no mistake ; the employment of this particular plant 
was an inspiration— it harmonised so well with both flowers and back 
ground. Visitors saw such varieties as Mme. de Graaff, Lucifer, 
King Alfred, White Lady, Torch, Blackwell (exceptionally good), 
Artemis, Citron, Duke of Bedford, several of the new Poetaz varieties, 
a few new seedlings not in commerce, together with the bright-cupped 
Scarlet Eye, with its fine Poetarum-looking perianth, and Circlet, a 
quite new Engleheartii of great substance and beautiful symmetry. 
'1 hese were all good and afforded the public an idea of how the all- 
too-short open-air season of some of the choicer things may be pro- 
longed. 
“THE GARDEN,” May 1st, 1 909. Birmingham Show. 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin once more showed their resource- 
fulness in the way in which they were able to compete in each of the 
eight classes in Division 1. Their record is a splendid one, viz., six 
firsts and two seconds. We congratulate them, too, on their first gold 
medal. 
“THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE," May 1st, 1909. 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin were awarded 1st prizes in each of 
the following six classes : — (1) Twelve distinct varieties of long- 
trumpet Daffodils ; (2) Six distinct varieties of short-trumpet Daffodils ; 
(3) Twelve distinct varieties of large-cupped Daffodils ; (4) Twelve 
distinct varieties of small-cupped Daffodils ; (5) Six distinct varieties 
of fiat-cupped Daffodils ; and (6) Three distinct varieties of double 
Daffodils. It is difficult to particularise where flowers were so 
numerous and the quality uniformly high, but the specimens exhibited 
by Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin were models of good culture and 
refinement and artistically arranged. 
“THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE,” March 27th, 1909, 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin, Kidderminster, staged a collection 
of Narcissus. The group was arranged in the shape of a crescent, the 
flowers being excellent examples. Among the more notable varieties 
were Evangeline, a chaste and beautiful creamy-white flower with lemon 
coloured cup ; Seagull ; Blood Orange, with a fiery-coloured crown ; 
Fairy Queen, a variety of I.eedsii group ; the bold and beautiful 
Weardale Perfection, Victoria, Glory of I.eiden, Mrs. H. J. Veitch (a 
fine yellow Ajax), Salamander, of the Engleheartii set, with fine 
spreading crowns, and Queen Sophia that resembles a pale form of 
the well-known variety Will Scarlet. The Peerless Mme. de Graaff 
and the drooping Johnstoni Queen of Spain were also shown in 
excellent condition. (Silver-gilt Banksian Medal.)
