DEPUTATION TO THE LEAMINGTON AND COUNTY 

 FLOWEE SHOW, 1912. 



A DEPUTATION consisting of Mr. J. Gurney Fowler (Treasurer of the 

 R.H.S.), Mr. H. B. May, V.M.H., Mr. C. G. A. Nix, and the 

 Assistant Secretary, visited the Leamington Flower Show on July 24, 

 1912, at the invitation of the Chairman (Mr. Alderman A. Holt) and 

 the members of the Committee, and made E.H.S. awards to the 

 exhibits. The deputation were most kindly received, and everything 

 possible was done to make the visit a pleasant one. On the eve of 

 the show Mr. Alderman Holt and Mrs. Holt entertained them at 

 dinner at their private residence — Oaklands, Kenilworth Eoad — some 

 members of the Leamington Committee having been also invited to 

 meet them. The cordial hospitality of the host and hostess afforded 

 a memorable evening. 



The show had many notable exhibits, the stove and greenhouse 

 groups being especially attractive. The deputation were a little dis- 

 appointed that the residents of Leamington were not exhibiting as 

 largely as might have been expected in such an important town, and 

 express the hope that amateur growers will do more in future to 

 compete for the very munificent prizes offered. They will thus be 

 assisting in establishing the show as a permanent annual event, which 

 will produce a highly desirable influence in the interests of local 

 horticulture. After luncheon had been partaken in the marquee, the 

 deputation returned to London. 



The pleasure of the visit was considerably heightened by Mr. 



^ Gurney Fowler motoring the deputation to and from Leamington. 



■ The outward journey was made via St. Albans, and the return via 



I Stratford- on- A von and Banbury.
