HOLBORN MODEL 
LEEKS IN IRELAND. 
liKi.FAST Gardener’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 (piite a monstrosity 
of its kind. We have just ha<l 
delivered to us, however, two 
specimens of this indispensable 
domestic vegetable grown by 
Mr. A M’Clure, gardener to 
). J. Kirkpatrick, Esq., J.I’., 
Kincraig, Belfast, which give the 
Welsh giant an easy beating in 
point of all-round measurement. 
One of the Leeks is e-sactly 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 if anyone could 
be found gifted with a digestive 
apparatus sufliciently strong to 
properly assimilate the specimens 
referred to, vve cannot but con- 
‘ gratiilate hir. M’Chire on having
