Stillorgan and Foxrock Horticultural 

 Society's Mower Show. 



Ir w,is not till- lust of weather, bul tin- >howeis had 

 l.iiil the iltist, and the grounds immediately sur- 

 rounding th«' tents were very fresh ; even inside 

 there was not tli.il close, .sufTocating he.it that one 

 usually associates with a Hower show. The tents 

 were more loomy than ordinary, and the exhibits 

 seemed on the whole fn-sher. Tliis was particularly 

 noticeable in the roses, which in a close atmosplu're 

 soon lose their tone. 



From i|uite an impressionist's view this show was not 

 only an .idvance on any local show I have ever seen, but 

 certainly several points belter than the recent R. IL S. 

 slu>w in .Merrion Square, 'riiere seemed more sp.u t 

 and more style, while the exhibits looked a better averaj^c 

 and much fresher. The tent containing the trades' and 

 other exhibits was especially interesting. 'Phe former 

 lined the inside of the tent, while down the middle of the 

 central space was a row of nine tables staged from 

 private gardens, with choice llowcring pl.ints, foliage 

 plants, and ferns. Much taste was displayed in the 

 draping of the stages, and the whole effect on entering 

 the tent was very striking. 



The trade was well represented. Messrs. Chas. 

 Ramsay & Son had some very fine begonias, .\mong 

 other things there was a handsome basket of roses 

 and some good carnations. Messrs. Hrowett had a 

 good show of ferns well staged, and especially to be 

 noticed were some handsome silver ferns. Messrs. 

 Pennick & Co. exhibited Alpines, and their .itaging of 

 them among rocks was very effective. In the collection 

 were some fine Primula capitata, Linum campanulatum,
