George Campbell, and to Nonpareil Crown she calved 

 Peggy 4th, a great breeder, which bred the 8th and 

 10th of the line by the grand white bull Schoolmaster 

 (110,095). Peggy 3rd, it may be noted, bred eight 

 bull calves in succession. Taking a strong liking to 

 the Jilts, Mr Buttar bought another of the line from 

 the late Mr John Young, Tilbouries, who, commenting 

 one autumn on the condition of his calves, summed 

 up, " Girse [grass] a' gane, but they've hed some 

 rinnin' watter an' graun scenery." Mr Young's Jilt 

 was Scottish Rose by the Uppermill King Victor 

 (81,394). She became dam of the Angus champions 

 Corston Rose and Corston Jilt. The former was sold 

 for U.S.A., and the latter bred to Regal King Goldie 

 (117,294), Royal Jester (127,669), the Perth junior- 

 class winner of 1915. From Mr Young at the same 

 time Mr Buttar took a pretty Bellona heifer calf by 

 the Collynie Sittyton Choice (84,822). She was 

 named Corston Strawberry. Two of her sons won 

 third prizes at Perth, one of these being sold to Mr 

 Nettlefold, Kent, at 550 gs. The old cow, now over 

 her fourteenth year, is still fresh-looking, and she has 

 a handsome daughter in Bellona 4th, by Strowan 

 Butterfly 24th (104,110). 



A very fine group of Rosewoods at Corston descend 

 from Rosewood 91st, a red roan in calf two-year-old 

 bought from Mr George Walker, Tilly greig, in 1906, 

 and by the Duthie Pride's Farewell (84,350). One 

 of her sons was Rosewood Crown, the Perth second- 

 prize bull of 1909 in the March class. A pretty 

 family of Primroses is descended from the Strathtay
