 captured all promiunis for greenhouse 

 grapes.

 hall was very fine. C. 11. Totty had a long 

 mi-foot table arranged with new singles, 

 which was one of the priiicijial features of 

 the exhiliiticin. lie al-o made a beautiful 



and MUich admired exhibit of 'mums in pflts, 

 comprising a lot of newer varieties, es- 

 pecially adapted for pot culture. The same 

 exhibitor had "Not for Competition" a 

 splendid vase of Mrs. Gilbert Drabble 'mum, 

 a new variety that will give Wm. Turner

 Orchid plants arranged with fern ))lants, 

 the first prize was won by Wm. Duckham, 

 and second prize by John Jones, of Convent,

 feature of this grand show, were splendid 

 this year. In the class for collection of 12 

 vegetables, 12 varieties, the first prize was 

 won by Robert Tyson with an exhibit most 

 beautifully arranged of clean, good stock 

 that would probably have scored his first in 

 any show. Mr. Macdonald scored second in 

 this class with another very fine entry.

 class, but did not score an award, as did also 

 Henry Gaut. Mr. Macdonald scored first

 better than any previous year at this show
