Golden Marguerite. — J. B., K: Tour plants are badly at¬ 
tacked by the small leaf mining larva of a little two winged fly 
called Phytomyza nigricornis. The only remedy is to cut the 
plants down, burn the tops, and then keep a close watch on 
the new growths, removing at once any leaves in which the 
larva make their appearance.

EVIDENCE OF QUALITY, 
From Mr. Or- H. RICHARDS, Gardener to the Earl of . 
Normanton, July 22nd. 
“I was much pleased with your White Elephant Tripoli 
Onion I had last year, and consider it the finest white selection 
I have yet tried or seen. I exhibited a dish at South Kensington, 
July 14th, in my First Prize collection of vegetables, and they 
were much admired.” 
From Mr. WILLIAM LLOYD, Lillingstone, Lorell, Sept. 5th. 
“ For Onions, I may say, we had nine First Prizes, and three 
Second.” 
From Mr. T. WELLS, Burnestone, Bedale, Yorks, Jan. 2Sth. 
“I took two First Prizes and one Second with your Golden 
Rocca Onion last year, against more than twenty competitors." 
From Mr. G. RAKER, The Gardens, Marlingford Hall. 
“I consider your Giant Rocca Onion the best ever intro¬ 
duced, very mild in flavour and an excellent cropper. I have 
not a single bulb under one pound in weight.” 
From Mr. W. M. HEYH0E, Station Road, Swaffham, 
July 16th. 
“ The Onions which I grew last year from seed supplied by 
you were a magnificent crop. An eightenpenny packet yielded 
upwards of one and a half cwt. of splendid round Onions,' which 
have kept good till now." 
TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS IN PRIZES 
offered to all growers of above collection. Complete 
cultural directions will be found in 
DANIELS’ ILLUSTRATED GUIDE, 
containing a superb coloured plate of great artistic 
merit, representing above-named Onions, natural size 
and colours. GRATIS to purchasers of the 6s. Collection.
