IRISH GARDENING 



Kingstown Horticultural Society. 



The above enterprising society has now issued 

 its schedul(> of prizes for the show to be held on 

 Wednesday, 2nd Angust, in the People's Park, 

 Kingstowii. 



The schedule is very complete, containing 

 many valuable prizes in cash and trophies, and 

 merits the attention and suj)port of all interested 

 in horticulture. Never was the need for stimu- 

 lating a knowledge of horticulture more urgent 

 than at present, and we can conceive no better 

 way than by the holding of exhibitions. Flower 

 shows at the present time are not to be looked 

 upon as merely i:)leasure functions, but as a 

 means of educating the people in the possibilities 

 of production, from the soil : and although some 

 affect to decry the production of flowers for 

 jdeasure in these times, there is little doubt 

 til at the individual who spends time and care 

 in the production of flowers can equally well 

 grow vegetables and frviit when necessitj^ com- 

 pels him. It is well, then, that the people should 

 see what can be done, and W(- coiumend to them 

 a visit to the Kingstown Horticultural Show, 

 and woidd urge all gardeners to bring their pro- 

 duce from patriotic motives if from no other.
