PRESS NOTICES, 1914. 
THE TIMES. Wednesday , March 11th. R.H.S. Forced Bulb Show. 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin show the best collection of Narcissus varieties. 
Olympia, an immense yellow trumpet, was given an award of merit for its value for 
growing in pots, and the pretty little drooping sulphur trumpet, W. P. Milner, was given 
an award of merit for its value in the rock garden. 
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH. Wednesday March 11th. 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin, the narcissus specialists, showed some handsome 
sorts. Olympia, Whitewell, Master of Balliol, Lady Margaret Boscawen, Mrs. H. J. 
Veitch, Joan of Arc, and Ethereal should all be made a note of. 
THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE. March 14th. 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin, Kidderminster, staged a comprehensive collection 
of the various types, amongst which such bright-cupped Barrii varieties as Firebrand, 
Fire Spaniel, and Southern Star arrested attention. But the gem of the exhibit was 
Northern Queen (see fig. 87, p. 191), a Leedsii variety with a perianth of Cassandra type 
and a small, pale yellow crown—a very chaste and fascinating flower. Swashbuckler, an 
exquisite Leedsii, has a nearly white perianth and a very large open cup ; Aquarius, a 
Leedsii with a very large perianth and a crimped crown, which is delicately tipped with 
orauge ; and Onslaught, a bicolor Trumpet, in which the yellow of the trumpet merges 
into the white of the perianth, are desirable novelties. (Silver-gilt Banksian Medal). 
THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE. March 2Sth. 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin, Kidderminster, specialised in Tazetta 
hybrids and Trumpet Daffodils. Of the former, the best were Elvira and Aspasia, and 
chief amongst the Trumpets were Fairy, Supremacy, and Gold Wolf, another rich 
yellow-coloured sort, but with a much shorter and broader trumpet. Ohryse was the 
largest Jonquilla hybrid in the show, and Ivorine, a Leedsii bloom with a flattened, 
fluted corona, had a very uncommon appearance. (Silver Flora Medal).

lonnaye and Suzan were notably good. (Silver-gilt Flora Medal)
