generally being lacking, though the samples were large 

 enough. Theroses shown by Hugh Dickson, Belfast, 

 A. Dickson & Sons, Newtow'nards, and S. M'Gredy & 

 Sons, Portadown, were lovely. The Lady Rossmore 

 Cup for 48, and also class for 24. these firms won in the 

 order their names are written. 



Mr. Blakeley had a grand exhibit of hardy fruit not 

 for competition, apples being especially fine, including 

 a new seedling named Lord Roberts. W . T.

O.N Wednesdaj-, August 19th, the annual show of the 

 Naas District Horticuitual Society was held in beautiful 

 weather, and the hon. secretaries. Miss De Burgh and 

 Miss Moore, have reason to be proud of the fine display 

 of flowers and %egetables, fruit being but sparingly 

 shown. For some reason or other all the work in con- 

 nection with the staging and management of this show 

 falls on the hon. secretaries and Dr. Browne, and as 

 the committee is a large one this should not be. 



The attendance was, I believe, a record one for this 

 society, and shows that interest in its work is spreading, 

 though from the very beginning the show has been 

 well attended by all sections of the public. In the open 

 sections the chief prize winners were Col. Hon. C. H. 

 Crichton, Lady Mavo, Dr. O'D. Browne, Mrs. Greer, 

 Mr. S. J. Brown, Baroness de Roebeck, and Mr. R. J. 

 Maunsell. In sections confined to district. Major Henrv, 

 Dr. Logan, Mr. F. Shortt,Mr. M. Moran, Mrs. M'Canii 

 and Mr. H. Winder. The cottagers' classes had a 

 record entry, and the quality was really excellent,

Sweet peas were very well shown for so late in the 

 season, Mr. Mitchison winning easilv for twelve 

 bunches for Col. Hon. C. H. Crichton ; Mr. F. Milne, 

 gardener to Dr. Browne, was second, Mrs. Hard- 

 castle Sjkes, Minie Christie, Etta Dvke, Clara Curtis, 

 Paradise, Mrs. H. Bell, Audrey Crier, Frank Dolby 

 and Helen Pierce being surprisingly good. .Annuals 

 were, another splendid class. Dr. Browne being first 

 and Col. Crichton a good second, the latter leading 

 for herbaceous flowers and for a collection of nine 

 varieties of vegetables. Lady Mayo (gardener, Mr. 

 Dojle) was second in both classes, but lacked the 

 evenness of the first prize lots. Baroness de Roebeck 

 and Jlr. S. J. Brown won for six bunches sweet pea 

 open, while six bunches confined was won by Nir. 

 M. Moran with probably the finest sweet peas in the 

 show. Judges — Mr. J. L. M'Kellar, Mr. R. .Anderson,

The committee and secretary (Mr. Healy) are to be 

 congratulated on the restarting of this show which last 

 year was allowed to lapse from various causes. Entries 

 in the horticultural portion were very good, while the 

 quality was excellent, this being especially so with the 

 collection of vegetables shown by Mrs. Dane (gardener, 

 Mr. Bierney), which was about the best I have seen 

 this year, celery, carrots, parsnips, tomatoes, leek, 

 beans, peas, and potatoes being first class, showing
