HOLBORN MODEL 
LEEKS IN IRELAND. 
Belfast 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 heen 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, lisq., 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 con- 
gratulate Mr. M’Clure on having 
achieved scch a notable record in 
the department of agriculture.
