Portsea Island only, there was spirited competition, Mr. Hatch leading 
with a neat evenly balanced group tastefully arranged. Mr. Burridge 
second. Mr. Kimber, gardener to the Asylum Committee, Portsmouth, 
was third. 
Cut flowers were not staged in extra large numbers, yet there were 
sufficient to make a creditable display. In the classes for ball and 
bridal bouquets Messrs. Perkins & Sons, Coventry, were invincible, Mr. 
Burridge taking second place in each class. For twelve bunches of 
stove and greenhouse flowers, Mr. T. Wilkins, gardener to Lady 
Theodora Guest, Inwood House, Henstridge, Blandford, was placed first 
with a choice collection, Mr. Peel following. For the same number 
of hardy kinds Mr. Ladhams, florist, Shirley, was an easy first; so good 
were they that the most prominent varieties may with advantage be 
Mr. P. Edwards, gardener to Lady Erie, The Grange, Liphook, and Mr. 
Inglefield were awarded equal third, the former staging Mrs. Pince in 
good condition, and the latter examples of Black Hamburgh perfect in 
every way but size. Mr. N. Molyneux was more successful in the class 
for three bunches of white Grapes, taking first honours with faultless 
bunches of Buckland Sweetwater. Messrs. Edwards and Inglefield 
followed in the order named, both depending upon Muscat of Alexandria. 
Mr. Inglefield had the best Peaches and Nectarines, staging Boyal 
George and Lord Napier, both fine. Very fine early Bigarreau Cherries 
won for Mr. Hall, gardener to S. Montagu, Esq., M.P., South Stoneham 
House, Southampton, the premier award. The best green flesh Melon— 
Hero of Lockinge—was staged by Mr. Inglefield. The best scarlet flesh 
variety was Invincible from Mr. Dundas Graham, Chiltley.

Catananche ccerulea alba, Monarda didyma, Eryngium amethystinum, 
and Delphinium hybridum Ladleiss. Messrs. W. & J. F. Legg, Bury 
Road Nursery, Gosport, second ; Mr. Wilkins third. 
Fruit was of more than average quality, especially the Grapes, which 
were excellent. For a collection of six dishes, Pines excluded, there was 
but one entry, but so good in quality was it that the first prize was 
awarded to Mr. Inglefield, gardener to Sir J. Kelk, Bart., Tedworth, 
Marlborough, who had medium-sized well-finished bunches of Black 
Hamburgh and Muscat of Alexandria Grapes, Tedworth Favourite 
Melon, Royal George Peaches, Lord Napier Nectarine, and Brown 
Turkey Figs in superb condition. For three bunches of black Grapes 
six competed, the best coming from Mr. J. Tavener, gardener to Sir 
A. K. Macdonald, Woolmer, Liphook—Black Hamburgh large in bunch 
and berry. Mr. N. Molyneux was a very close second, his bunches 
being more even in size and symmetrical, but just a shade short in colour. 
Vegetables were exhibited in large numbers and of good quality, Mr. 
Wilkins leading with a collection of nine sorts; Sutton’s Seedling Potato, 
Perfection Tomato, Improvement Onion, Model Carrot, and Canadian 
Wonder Bean were the most noteworthy. Mr. Inglefield was second, 
and Mr. Hunt a close third. Cucumbers were fully represented, 
Mr. G. B. Woodward, Liphook, having the best brace. Mr. Hall, in a 
brisk competition, staged the finest Tomatoes—Perfection. 
Messrs. Ewing, Havant Nurseries, had about ten dozen Rose and an 
interesting collection of ornamental shrubs in a cut state. Messrs. Keynes, 
Williams, & Co., Salisbury, sent twelve dozen Rose blooms containing 
most of the leading varieties in perfect condition ; an exhibit which 
attracted much attention. Mr. Ladhams, florist, Shirley, had a large 
collection of hardy herbaceous cut flowers, comprising such as Cam¬ 
panula platycodon grandiflora, and C. p. g. alba, very showy members 
of an already extensive genus, Delphinium nudicaule, Gaillardia Vivian 
Grey, Delphinium album, and Helenium magnificum. This and the
