The firm of Messrs. Cartwright and 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 background. Visitors saw such 
varieties as Mine, 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 sym- 
metry. These 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 prolonged. 
"The Garden," May 1st, 1900. Birmingham Show. 
Messrs. Cartwright and Goodwin once more showed their resourcefulness 
in the way in which they were able to compete in each of the eight classes 
in Division I. 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) 12 
distinct varieties of large-cupped Daffodils ; (4) 12 distinct varieties of small- 
cupped Daffodils ; (fi) six distinct varieties of flat-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. Caiitwuight & 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 ; Sea- 
gull ; Blood-Orange, with a fiery-coloured crown ; Fairy Queen, a variety of 
Leedsii group ; the bold and beautiful Weardale Perfection, Victoria, Glory 
of Leiden, 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 Scarlett. The peerless 
Mme. de Graaff and the drooping Johnstoni Queen of Spain were also shown 
in excellent condition. (Silver-gilt Banksian Medal.) 
"The Gardeners’ Magazine," March 27, 1909. 
Messrs. Cartwright and Goodwin, Kidderminster, contributed a charm- 
ing exhibit of early Daffodils, arranged in vases. Among the many delightful 
varieties so prettily presented we made special note of Queen of Holland, 
Dubloon, Evangeline, Mdme. de Graaff, Chaucer, Coreen, Salamander, 
Hamlet, White Lady, Beauty, Victoria, Sunset— a pretty variety, Alton 
Locke, and Autocrat.
