CANNELL’S FLORAL GUIDE. 
One of the greatest authorities on Gardening, and 
closely connected with the Royal Horticultural Society 
and the horticultural press, vrites:—“I always 
look for your Catalogue as regularly as Christmas, 
because it is a woik that fills all with real admiration 
and surprise. I use to think you overdrew things, 
but from close observation of yonr regular exhibits 
convinced me to the contrary, and sorry I ever thought 
so. Is. enclosed.” (It will be posted to all our 
patrons.) 
MR. WATSON, Supeiintendent Kew Gardens, Dec. 27th, 1890. 
“ I saw your exhibit of zonal Pelargoniums at Ihe December 
meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society: they were, in my 
opinion, a miracle. We must have a collection, hut first let us 
have a wrinkle how they are produced.” (To all we say, 
“ Come and See.”) 
MR. T. RABONE, Alton Towers, CLeadle, Feb., 13th, 1S90. 
“ I am very much obliged indeed for your wonderful Floral 
Guide, which might well be described as one of the wond< rs of 
the world in the way of nuiserymen’s catalogues. Being con¬ 
fined to my room for a few days, its perusal has been a pleasure, 
and done some little to alleviate my indisposition.” 
Mr. G. M. SMALL, 21S, Cashel Street, Christchurch, New 
Zealand, Nov. 20th, 1S90. 
“ I received the plants in splendid order, they having grown 
3 ins. during the voyage ; and I must congratulate you on your 
first-class system of packing, which I venture to say cannot he 
improved upon."
