Dear Sir, May 6th, 1899. 
I am pleased to inform you that your XL ALL (as obtained from your agents) is meeting 
with great approval in the island. Scores of our members are using it and find it most serviceable in 
the destruction of greenhouse pests.

f REENLANDS, HENLEY - ON - THAMES . - 
Pleasantly situated on the banks of 
the Thames a few miles below Henley, and 
fewer above Medmenham, is Greenlands, 
the residence of W. F. D. Smith, Esq., 
M.P. The best view of this quiet and 
beautiful riverside place is obtainable from 
the Thames, to which it lies exposed, in full 
view to passengers on the steamers, yachts, 
and smaller craft. From the highway run¬ 
ning parallel with the river, the gardens and 
grounds are more hidden by trees and other 
obstructions, which afford the desired 
seclusion. 
We had the pleasure of a rapid survey of 
the establishment, in the third week of 
April, in company with the genial and well- 
known gardener, Mr. Henry Perkins; and 
the stage of vegetation at the time of our 
visit will thus be explained. The highway 
practically divides the garden and glass of 
the establishment into two portions, and we 
first surveyed that portion lying behind the 
post office. The Fig house was first entered, 
and on the back wall Brown Turkey, 
planted out, was cropping splendidly. The 
same may be said of the varieties St. John, 
Negro Largo, and White Ischia in pots. 
Strawberries, Steven’s Wonder and Royal 
Sovereign, were giving a good account of 
themselves in pots. Figs and Peaches, to¬ 
gether with Dwarf Beans in pots monopo¬ 
lised another division; while in a third 
compartment we came upon Cherries in 
pots, well set; Peaches, Pears, and Plums, 
all rapidly advancing. Strawberry Steven’s 
Wonder "upon shelves, carried more richly 
coloured fruits than we have seen Mr. 
Stevens himself exhibit; so that Mr. Per¬ 
kins knows how to treat it. 
Passing into the late vinery, planted in 
1883, we were struck by the late leafing of 
Lady Downes compared with that of other 
varieties under the same conditions and 
treatment. The next division contained 
young Vines newly planted in the borders, 
together with Vines in pots. The third 
vinery was much more advanced, the berries 
of Madresfield Court and West St. Peter’s 
being about half grown. The Vinesare about 
15 years old, and already are ear-marked 
for removal to make way for a fresh lot. 
The frames are mostly situated in this 
portion of the establishment. Early Pota- 
tos even at that early date had mostly been 
dug. French Beans and Spinach were 
doing well in other lights. Malmaison 
Carnations, Daffodils and other bulbs were 
accommodated in another set of frames. 
Mr. Perkins is an enthusiastic expert in 
Chrysanthemum culture, and at the time of 
our visit large quantities of strong plants 
were being transferred from 6o’s into 6 in. 
and 7 in. pots. Seedlings were also being 
grown in quantity, and, judging from foliage
