I would like to start growing Chrysanthemums for Exhibition, but I can't find a supplier of the various varieties I need.  I am looking for 4 each of large reflexed, Intermediate and incurved, also single sprays, double sprays and pompoms.  We are located in south west Surrey.

Or does anyone know of a company offering direct mail sales?

I might be able to help you with that - my OH's uncle was the British Champ chrysanth grower for many years, and has just packed it in due to ill health.  Several of the chaps in my gardening club are pretty big in the chrysanth world too, so I'll ask both.

If Uncle Alan is agreeable, I'll pm you his number, and you could have a chat about it?  What he doesn't know isn't worth knowing!

On the National Chrysanth Soc website, he's in the middle pic:
