Clonakilty Show. 

 Flower, Fruit, and Vegetable Section. 



TiiK ninth annual show of the .Agricultural Society was 

 hold in the spacious and well equipped grounds, on 

 Thursday, July ist, and, like its predecessors, proved a 

 magnificcr.t success. 



The officers of the society' have displayed so much 

 energetic interest in the promotion of the horticultural 

 department that this section was one of the glories of 

 the show. The Committee has recognised the necessity 

 of a liberal schedule to ensure a good competition and 

 the staging of products of a high order of merit, and it 

 has not lost sight of other attractions, and especially of 

 engaging the best military bands. This j'ear the entries 

 were so largeh' in excess of any previous occasion that 

 it had evidently no easy task to provide accommodation 

 for the products. This show proves what progress horti- 

 culture is making in South Cork. 



Cn^ Floii'ers. — Roses, geraniums and sweet peas 

 were contributed in enormous quantities, and of them- 

 selves formed a large and attractive exhibition. 



AmaU'urs. — In the class for six varieties of roses, .Mrs. 

 J . C. O'SuUivan led the way with verj' beautiful blooms 

 of Frau. Karl Druschki, Mrs. John Laing, Paul Neron,
