HORTICULTURE 



631 



The Ural prize was awarded to F. 



II mans. Supt. for W. D. Sloane, 



Blmcourt, The leading feature of 

 his group was his Bpeclmen • -rotons, 

 particularly the variety Warrenll, the 

 Individual specimens being over 

 1 feet high and furnished to the pots. 

 These were arranged on pedt als of 

 cork hark and decorated with masses 

 i>r Gypsophllla paniculata, Rex and 

 Lorraine begonias. The ground work 

 ol his group was principally Farley- 

 ense [erns and lily of the valley, In- 

 terspersed With Lilium candiduiu. In 

 the second group, put up by Allen 

 Jenkins, Supt to S. P. Shotter, four 

 line specimens of Abutilon Thomsonii 



were used, the white Va I i. IgB t lOH "I 



which made a pretty contrast to the 

 more predominating red and yellow 

 foliage. In this also a large mass of 

 Clerodendrou falax was used, with be- 

 goniaa, lily of the valley, Farley< 

 etc. 



As usual a very keen competition 

 took place in the vegetable classes. 

 The Specimens shown wen- all well 



up to the bigh-class Lenox standard. 

 The judges had their hands full, and 

 when the points were counted there 

 were only nine points between the 

 first and second prize in the class for 

 eighteen varieties, and fifteen In the 



class for twelve varieties. W. S.
