For three years in succession we have secured the 
Championship of the great Midland Daffodil Society’s Show, 
in itself a not inconsiderable feat for a firm of only three years’ 
standing; but when we were awarded the highest possible 
honour, viz., the Gold Medal of the Royal Horticultural 
Society for our superb groups of new seedlings at Birmingham, 
the height of our ambition was attained. 
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. 
I he season of 1910, like that of 1909, was one of peculiar 
difficulty to all bulb growers owing to the extremely wet summer 
which prevented the Bulbs from being properly ripened. In 
spite of this we have each year had most excellent reports of our 
Colonial and Foreign shipments, and although it is not our 
practice to publish Testimonials, we cannot refrain from repro- 
ducing 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. 
I ain 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.
