Butley Tulip Society. 
The sixty-seventh annual Exhibition of this Society was held in a 
building attached to the Orange Tree Inn, Butley, near Macclesfield, on 
Friday, June 10th. The Show was satisfactory in many respects, but 
owing to the intense heat experienced for about a week before the date 
of the Show, many of the growers were unable, through their blooms 
being almost over, to show their true strength, and the great com¬ 
petition, which is for a fine silver cup, presented by the President of 
the Society, S. Barlow, Esq., J.P., C.A., of Stakehill, was thereby robbed 
of much of its interest. 
For the silver cup, six dissimilar Tulips, one feathered and one 
flamed in each class, had to be staged, and although five or six stands 
were exhibited, the real fight was between Mr. J. VV. Bentley of Stake- 
hill and Mr. J. Knowles of Staleybridge, both of whom had been very 
successful at the National Society’s Exhibition on the Wednesday before. 
The verdict of the Judges went in favour of Mr. Bentley, who showed a 
stand of well-grown flowers mostly high-class in quality. His flowers 
were flamed bizarre Sir J. Paxton, feathered bizarre Richard Ya'es, 
flamed bybloemen Queen of the May, feathered bybloemen King of the 
Universe, feathered rose Alice, and flamed rose Annie McGregor. Mr. 
Knowles’ stand, which was exquisite in quality although the flowers 
were too small in size, comprised flamed bizarre Dr. Hardy, feathered 
bizarre Lord Lilford, flamed bybloemen Beauty of Litchurch, feathered 
bybloemen May Queen, flamed rose Mrs. Telford, and feathered rose 
Lizzie, and was placed second. 
In single blooms, feathered bizarres, Mr. Knowles was first with Lord 
Lilford, fourth with Sir Jos. Paxton, fifth with Lord Lilford, sixth 
with Typo, and ninth, with John Ratcliffe ; Mr. Kitchen of Stockport, 
was second with Sulphur ; Mr. Bentley third with Lord F. Cavendish, 
seventh with John Mills, eighth with Unknown, and tenth with Sir 
S. Romiley. Feathered bybloemens, Mr. Kitchen was first with Violet 
Aimable, and fifth with Lord Denman ; Mr. Knowles was second with 
Mrs. Hepworth, fourth with Violet Aimable, and eighth with Conningsby 
Castle ; Mr. Bentley was third with William Bentley, sixth with Queen 
of the May, seventh with King of the Universe, and ninth with Habit 
de Noir; Mr. Barlow was tenth with Wm. Parkinson. Feathered 
Roses.—Mr. Knowles was first and second with Lizzie, fourth wirh 
Heroine, and fifth with Annie McGregor ; Mr. Bentley w’as third with 
Mabel, sixth with Julia Farnese, and ninth with Lady Wiltcn ; Mr. 
Barlow was seventh with Industry, eighth with Madame St. Arnaud, 
and tenth with a seedling. Flamed bizarres.—Mr. Knowles was first

second with Sir Jos. Paxton ; Mr. Dymock was third with Typo, and 
tenth with Duke of Sutherland ; Mr. Barlow was fifth with Sulphur ; 
Mr. J. Hague, Stockport, was sixth with an unnamed variety ; Mr.

and ninth with an unnamed variety. Flamed bybloemens.—Mr. Bentley 
was first with Queen of the May, second with Adonis, fifth with Un¬ 
known, ninth with Maid of Orleans, and tenth with Miss Johnson ; Mr. 
Knowles was third and sixth with Beauty of Litchurch, and seventh

Kitchen was second with Madame St. Arnaud ; Mr. Bentley was third 
with Annie McGregor, sixth with Mabel, and eighth with Triomphe 
Royale ; Mr. Needham was ninth with an unnamed variety, and tenth

Sir J. Paxton in his stand of six. Mr. Kitchen won the prize for the 
best feathered flower with Violet Aimable. 
In the afternoon the growers and friends dined together, and a most 
enjoyable time was spent in the hearty, old fashioned, florist fashion, 
approved of by our fathers and grandfathers, and far too rare, alas ! 
among ourselves. 
Wakjfield Amateur Tulip Society. 
This Society had a very successful Show at the Brunswick Hotel, 
Borough Market, on Monday, June 6th. The season has been very 
favourable for the production of good blooms, so that lovers of this 
unique and beautiful flower had set before them an array which would 
dazzle the eyes of an old beholder. The rectified blooms were especially 
grand, and there was a good contest for first prize, which fell to Mr. 
George Gill of Eastmoor. In the stands of three and six breeders, Mr. 
Moorhouse was an easy winner. A notable bloom of his pan was Brides¬ 
maid, which also took the premier award in the bybloemen breeders. 
Amongst the bizarres the success of Lord F. Cavendish and Sir Joseph 
Paxton was well marked, they being found in nearly all the winning 
stands. The staging was neatly effected in the long room placed at the 
Society’s disposal by the landlord, Mr. Jacques, and a fairly good 
number paid a visit to the Show. Mr. E. Schofield of Lower Wortley 
was judge, and gave every satisfaction. Mr. Brown of Hadfield Hall 
judged the Ferns. Appended is a complete list of winners, and the 
names of the blooms in the different classes.
