I question the reference to Davis writing for Exchange & Mart, on all fronts this appears inappropriate. Should it in fact be The Botanical Exchange Club of the British Isles? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alldav (talkcontribs) 14:34, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Further research indicates that the reference is partly correct. A copy of Davis's monologue entitled "Plant Propagation" dated 1922 (available at [1]) is shown as being published in London by Bazaar, Exchange & Mart, E.C.4, which also published a twice weekly magazine containing shorter articles on a wide variety of subjects, and hundreds of small ads. Eventually this did become the Exchange & Mart magazine, much used during the later 20th century for advertising cars for sale, but with no editorial content.
