FYVIE FLOWER. 69 



Moonlight was the dam of the good bulls Sir 

 Roger 702 and Sir Wilfrid 1157 both H. A. S. prizewinners 

 and also of Souter Johnny 1615 bred at Drumin ist 

 at the R.A.S.E. Show 1883 and a very successful sire in 

 the Benton herd which appears in the pedigrees of 

 many of the best cattle bred there she was also the dam 

 of Apricot 1490 a local prizewinner which passed to 

 Dalmore and bred there Apricot 2nd 12615 sold for 60 

 guineas at the Dalmore Sale in 1891 and Apricot 3rd 

 15273 which went at a high price to Glamis and was 

 granddam of Aquilegia 27632 ist as a yearling at the 

 H.A.S. Show 1897 and afterwards a ist prizewinner at the 

 Birmingham and Smithfield Fat Stock Shows. 



(2) Kate of Careston 3434 was another daughter of 

 Georgina of Rothiemay of which there are descendants 

 at Kilquade. 



It would appear that a large number of cattle were 

 bred from this foundation at Glenbarry and Blair- 

 shinnoch but there are apparently very few registered 

 descendants although from the performances of its 

 numbers it would appear, like the ' Elena,' to be a strain 

 of great merit and one which might with advantage to 

 the breed be better represented.
