On another page we append a list of the remarkable 
successes attained by us this year, which constitute a record that 
any firm might well be proud of. • 
For three years in succession we have secured the 
Championship of the great Midland Daffodil Society’s Show, 
and for the last two years the Premier Medal at the Royal 
Horticultural Society’s Forced Bulb Show. 
These "successes afford a striking testimony to the great 
care and attention that we bestow upon the culture of all our 
bulbs, and no words of ours are needed to endorse this fact. 
We need scarcely add that it will be our earnest endeavour 
to maintain this high standard of excellence of our English 
Grown Bulbs. 
The season of 1909 was one of peculiar difficulty to all 
bulb growers owing to the extremely wet season which prevented 
the Bulbs from being properly ripened, and thus caused serious 
delay in despatching them. In spite of this we have had most 
excellent reports of our Colonial shipments, and although it is 
not our practice to publish Testimonials, we cannot refrain from 
reproducing the following letter : 
New South Wales, 
October 8th, 1909. 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin. 
Dear Sirs, — I beg to acknowledge receipt of box of Daffodils, in 
excellent order, and to thank you for the great care you have taken 
in executing my order. I have never from any source received such 
remarkably fine bulbs, nor did I imagine that such varieties as Chaucer 
and Virgil, for example, could make such enormous bulbs as those 
you sent. 
1 am more than satisfied, and hope to give good accounts later on. 
With thanks for your attention and care, 
I remain, 
Yours faithfully, 
. (Signed)' H.S.
