The Nursery and Plantation Coi\ipetitions. 



{Restricted to the Inverness Show District.) 



The Secretary read the awards of the Judges (Mr Frank 

 Scott and Mr Gilbert Brown) as follows : — 



Report by Judges. 



In the Nursery section there are 5 entries and in the 

 Plantation 13 entries. All these are from the counties of 

 Ross and Moray. It seems a pity that from a large and 

 well-wooded county like Inverness there is not a single entry. 



I. NURSERY SECTION. 

 The awards in this section are as follows : — 



Class I. 

 For the best Estate Nursery not exceeding two acres. 



No. 2 Silver Medal Certificate. The Rt. Hon. The Earl 

 of Moray, Darnaway Estate. 



Class II. 

 For the best Estate Nursery exceeding two acres. 



No. I Silver Medal Certificate. His Grace the Duke of 

 Richmond and Gordon. 



In every case the nurseries are well laid out and attention 

 to proper rotation and the maintenance of fertility given. We 

 wish to commend the sporting effort of the smaller estates to 

 produce their own nursery stock. 



In connection with this competition, the Judges wish to 

 recommend to the Council that in future where on one Estate 

 there may be two nurseries and where these nurseries are 

 dependent on each other, they should be treated as one unit. 



II. PLANTATION SECTION. 

 The following are the awards in this section : — 

 In Classes I., II. and III. there were no entries.
