Never in the annals of Chrysanthemum history has such phenomenal success been achieved by any raiser of new seedlings as by MR. H. WEEKS, 
in the sensational productions exhibited by him from time to time this season before the Floral Committee. When it is remembered that in the small collection 
of a private garden, only a very limited number of plants can be grown of each variety, and the difficulty, therefore, of securing the required number of blooms 
stipulated for by the N. C. Society on a given day, it is, indeed, remarkable that no less than EIGHT FIRST-CLASS CERTIFICATES should be awarded. 
Other varieties, equally good, had to forego their Candidature from the simple fact that only two flowers could be had ready at the same time, or else the 
total number of Certificates would have been larger. 
I have the honour to announce that I have secured the entire stocks of all these Magnificent Novelties, and shall distribute same, together with 
a few of my own, and some of the finest Australian seedlings ever introduced.

BEST RESULTS 
Are obtained by starting with healthy country-grown 
Plants and Cuttings. To prove that 
GODFREY’S STOCK IS SECOND TO NONE 
It is only necessary to point to the fact that he has been 
awarded in one season more Certificates by the National 
Chrysanthemum and Royal Horticultural Societies for Ex¬ 
hibition Japs, than 
ALL OTHER TRADE GROWERS COMBINED. 
Every Bloom so Certificated was grown in the Exmou h Nur¬ 
series, and had not been “ put to be grown,” as many fre¬ 
quently are, by Chrysanthemum Specialists.

Wruit Culture for Amateurs.*- —Many 
business men closely engaged with 
their occupation for the greater part of the 
week take up some hobby or other, either to 
keep them amused, or occupied during 
their spare moments, or, it may be, to afford 
some bodily exercise or mental relaxation 
from the cares of business. No hobby is 
more harmless or more capable of giving 
delight to those who take it up than garden¬ 
ing in one form or other, according to the 
bent or taste of the individual. In the 
absence of a practical education the amateur 
has to depend upon books as well as glean a 
hint now and again from his friends. It has 
often been said that a book to be useful 
must be written by a practical man, and 
this may be true so far as it goes ; but the 
idea is carried too far in some instances 
when a man incapable of clearly expressing 
his views is encouraged to write a book for 
the guidance, it may be, of his equals. Mr. 
S. T. Wright cannot be placed under that 
category, for he is no amateur, and nothing 
if not practical; while the horticultural 
world has had ample opportunity during the 
past few years of seeing that he has 
ideas which he can unfold in the clearest 
manner possible. 
Mr. Wright is a prize essayist, and his 
book “ Fruit Culture for Amateurs,” now 
in its second edition, gives all the practical 
information it is necessary for an amateur 
to know in order to grow sufficient fruit for 
his own household, provided his garden is 
large enough to render this possible. There 
are gardens and gardens, but many of them 
that ought to prove valuable adjuncts to 
the households of their possessors are 
simply so much wasted ground, either owing 
to indifference or misdirected management.
