HOLBORN MODEL LEEKS IN 
IRELAND. 
Belfast Gardener’s Achievement.- In a recent 
issue of the Evening Telegraph we referred lo 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 by Mr. A. M’Clure, gardener to 
J. J. Kirkpatrick, Esq., J.P., Kincraig, Belfast, 
which 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 if anyone 
could be found gifted with a digestive apparatus 
sufficiently strong to properly assimilate the 
specimens referred to, we cannot but congratulate 
Mr. M’Clure on having achieved such a notable 
record in the department of agriculture.
