Farm Seed Catalogue, for Spring, 1893 
Extract from “ NORFOLK NEWS.” 
ROOT SHOWS I3ST NORWICH. 
“It is the custom of Messrs. Daniels linos., tlie well-known Seed Growers of the Boyal Nurseries, Norwich, to offer Prizes 
annually for specimens of Boots grown from Seeds supplied by them, and to hold an exhibition of those sent in for competition. 
The Show this year took place on Saturday in their spacious warehouses in Bedford Street, and there was a large attendance of visitors. 
The Boots were conveniently displayed on spacious tables in an upper chamber. The judges were Messrs. B. Wortley (Suflield) and 
W. Case (Tuttington). The Mangolds exhibited did not reach the size of those of some former years, but they wcro remarkable for 
their symmetry and solidity. They wore small at the top and by no means coarse-rooted. There were a few monsters on show', some of 
them turning the scale at 20 lbs. The falling-off in size generally is attributed to the unseasonable weather in July, when there was so 
much rain, but everybody was agreeably surprised that the Boots they saw on Saturday had turned out so well. The atmospheric 
conditions which proved unfavourable to the Mangolds would seem to have been benefioial to the Swedes, for those exhibited wore 
exceedingly fine— in fact, it is doubtful whether better have ever been seen. Turnips wore good, and Mr. Learner’s and Mr. B. Stimpson’s 
lots deserve special mention. There were some gigantic Cabbages shown, and a close competition took place between Mr. Colman, M.P., 
and Mr. B. Stimpson in this class. The hon. Momber’s biggest speoimen weighed 561 lbs., while Mr. Stimpson’s missed this scaling by 
a couple of pounds. Mr. Stimpson’s was, however, of a much more solid nature, and therefore obtained chief prize. The high quality 
of the Show speaks well for the excellence of the Seeds grown and supplied by Messrs. Daniels. The Prize List is annexed :
