HOLBORN MODEL 
LEEKS IN IRELAND. 
Belfast (;ardf.nf,r’s Achieve- 
ment. — In a recent issue of the 
Evening Telegraph we referred to 
a Leek measuring 3 ft. 6 in. in 
length which had been dug up at 
Bangor (Wales), and which was 
regarded as quite a monstrosity 
of its kind. We have just had 
delivered to us, however, two 
specimens of this indispensable 
domestic vegetable grown Ity 
Mr. A. M'Clure, gardener to 
J. J. Kirkpatrick, lisq., J.I’., 
Kincraig, Belfast, w'hich give the 
Welsh giant an easy beating in 
point of all-round measurement. 
One of the Leeks is exactly 4 ft., 
and the other 3 ft. 7 in. long, and 
the larger one measures 7 inches 
in circumference at the base. 
While we question ifanyone could 
be found gifted with a digestive 
apparatus sufficiently strong to 
properly assimilate the specimens 
referred to, we cannot but con- 
gratulate Mr. M’Clure on having 
achieved such a notable record in 
the department of agriculture. 
Carters Holborn Model Leek was a very prominent feature in the vegetable 
collections, which were awarded Three Gold Medals and Two Grand Prix at the Franco- 
British Exhibition, igc8.
