The vast stock of the firm William Bull And Sons, headquartered at Kings Road, Chelsea, made it famous worldwide. When Ceylon was struck by a coffee-plant disease, Hemileia vastatrix, it was able to supply planters with a variety called Coffea liberica, which was immune to the disease.[3] With the retirement of Edward Bull in 1916, by then the sole proprietor, the firm closed.[4]

The standard author abbreviation W.Bull is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[5]
