JOUBNAL OP HORTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER. 



[ Deoember 18, 1873. 



Yellows (438) should have been second instead of a badly- 

 matched pair of Beds. There were six pairs of Black Jacobins ; 

 the winners were rather mousey-faced but otherwise first-rate ; 

 one of the highly commended pens was very short-faced and 

 well matched, and should have been placed nest to the winners. 

 The winning Bine Turbits were shell-crowned. In the Turbits, 

 Any other colour, shell-crowned Blacks, clean and thick headed, 

 were first, and rather coarse peak-headed Yellows second. The 

 winning Trumpeters were Black-mottled, and the cock is prob- 

 ably the best bird ever seen in Ireland. In the Homing class a 

 real short-faced show Antwerp, with a rubbishy hen, took first, 

 but a far better pair were in pen 483. The flyers shown in this 

 class did not look like workmen, almost all of them having 

 narrow flights and heads. Except being a trifle long the winning 

 Blue Dragoons were perfection ; good-coloured Yellows were 

 second, but the cock was of the heavy and the hen of the light 

 variety. Nuns were poor, and the hen in the winning pen was 

 about the worst in the class. Short-faced Tumblers were nothing 

 particular, whole-coloured Yellows first, and all five pens badly 

 matched. The Any other variety class was the worst in the 

 Show, Eunts first, German Toys second. The winning Magpies 

 were black-beaked Blacks, good Eeds second. Some of the birds 

 in the Selling class were cheap enough, but the quality was 

 rather poor. Last and least, in the Owls, White foreigners were 

 first and second, and a lovely little Blue hen in the highly com- 

 mended pen.

LIVEEPOOL CANAEY SHOW. 

 This was held on the 12th and 13th inst. The Belgians were 

 the finest collection I ever saw. The Norwich I think scarcely 

 first-class ; some of them brought out under the new feeding 

 system did not obtain any prize in either class, and this 

 caused a little dissatisfaction. The Lizards were a really fine 

 collection, the wiuners in this class and in both Clear Bel- 

 gian classes having taken many first prizes in this district. —

TESTIMONIAL TO MESSES. BEMEOSE AND 

 OEME. 



I AM sure that all Canary fanciers and breeders will hail with 

 immense satisfaction a proposal which has come to me from 

 several quarters, to present Messrs. Bemrose & Orme -with a 

 substantial testimonial of their appreciation of the value of 

 their discovery, and the frank way in which they have made it 

 public after running the gauntlet of public opinion, and assert- 

 ing their integrity in the face of so much opposition. ^ I feel 

 satisfied that even their bitterest opponents will now join^ in 

 the common expression of admiration at the manner in which 

 they have come out of the severe ordeal to which it may be, in 

 some directions, a well-intentioned opposition has subjected 

 them. It was, perhaps, too much to expect that such a re- 

 volution could be effected quietly. Now that such an impetus 

 has been given to Canary breeding by their announcement of 

 last week, and competition, which has been almost paralysed, 

 will flow in a broader channel than ever, it can require no argu- 

 ment of mine to influence fanciers, one and all, in uniting to 

 present Messrs. Bemrose & Orme with a mark of their esteem. 



If I may suggest any scheme, I should like to receive the 

 names of representative fanciers in the various towns and dis- 

 tricts where the Canary finds a home, who will undertake to 

 collect subscriptions from the clubs to which they may belong, or 

 from the fanciers in their neighbourhood, and if the Editors of 

 the " Journal " will kindly undertake the office of Treasurers, 

 I am sure there will be a full stream of subscriptions flowing 

 into their coffers. Meanwhile I shall be glad to receive the 

 names of all willing to co-operate in this matter with any sug- 

 gestions for the effectual carrying-out of the object, and wiU be 

 only too happy to act as Secretary pro. tern. — W. A. Blakstoa',

BEES IN PEACH HOUSES. 



A YoEKSHiBE BEE-KEEPER, " L. A. H.", secks advjce on this 

 point, or rather asks, Is it desirable to winter bees under glass ? 

 For the sake of experiment I am trying to winter an exceedingly 

 weak stock of bees in a vinery. The great difficulty in such an 

 experiment is to accustom the bees to live in confinement. On 

 rising on the -wing they fly against the glass, become quite 

 bewildered, and seldom returc to the hive. They perish on
