garden Roses was beautiful, but too crowded. He showed amongst 
others Rosa Multiflora, Lucida Plena, Lucida, Rosa Mundi, Austrian 
Yellow, and Janet’s Pride. Mr. Tate’s box of twenty-four was not at 
all equal to those he exhibited last year. He showed Bardon Job, 
Safrano, Crested Moss, La Ville de Bruxelles, W. A. Richardson, 
Camoens, Hebe’s Lip, Surpasse Tout, Myranthes Renoncule, and George 
Pernet, 
The Judges, Mr. T. W. Girdlestone, Mr. George Paul, and the 
writer of this notice, had no trouble in arriving at their decisions ; but 
there was a fair fight for the twenty-fours and twelves and the 
sixes. They were hospitably entertained at luncheon, with the 
members of the Committee by Mr. and Mrs. Davidson, who had a 
large garden party for their friends and neighbours in the afternoon.—

BAGSHOT.— July 3rd and 4th. 
The twenty-fifth annual show of the Bagshot, Windlesham, and 
District Horticultural Society was held on the above dates in Bagshot 
Park, by kind permission of H R.H. the Duke of Connaught. The 
display was on the whole a very satisfactory one, and the exhibits 
if not very numerous were of good quality. The Rose classes did not 
bring the number of competitors that could have been wished, but 
what was lacking in numbers was pretty nearly made up in quality. 
The groups—four in number—were of really exceptional merit, and 
the very best taste had been displayed in the arrangement. Space 
not permitting of a detailed list of the prizewinners being given, 
those in the principal Rose and plant classes are appended. 
The first prize for forty-eight cut Roses, distinct, Mr. B, R. Cant, 
Colchester, was a good first, staging some very handsome blooms, 
amongst which Mrs. John Laing, Madame C. Joigneu.x, Marchioness of 
Dufferin, Victor Hugo, Fisher Holmes, A. K. Williams, Jeannie Dickson, 
Madame Gabriel Luizet, Earl of Pembroke, Dukeof Wellington, Gustave 
Piganeau, Le Havre, and Ulrich Brunner were the best, Messrs. Paul 
and Son, Cheshunt, and Frank Cant, Braiswick Nursery, were adjudged 
equal seconds, both exhibitors showing some superb flowers. 
The amateurs’ class for twenty-four Roses, distinct, brought only one 
competitor, Mr. Barker, gardener to H. P. Laschallas, Esq., who was 
placed first, his stand containing some good blooms. Mr. Barker was 
also first for twelve Teas or Noisettes with a somewhat bare stand ; and 
Mr. Popple, gardener to Lady Stepney, Ascot, the only other exhibitor 
in the class, was given the second prize. 
For six Roses, any variety, Mr. Lane, gardener to Miss A, S. Ridge, 
Bagshot, was first with charming examples of Souvenir de S. A. Prince, 
One of the blooms in this exhibit was awarded the National Rose 
Society’s silver medal for the best bloom in the amateurs’ classes. Mr. 
Barker was second with La France ; and W. C. Romaine, Esq., The 
Priory, Old Windsor, third with Suzanne Marie Rodocanachi. 
The classes for residents within a radius of fifteen miles of Bagshot 
Park brought good competition and some fine flowers. In that for 
twenty-four Roses, distinct, single trusses, and in which H.R.H. the 
Duke of Connaught offers a silver challenge cup, to be held by the 
winner for one year, there were three competitors, Mr. Barker being 
accorded the first prize and cup. The stand comprised Ulrich Brunner, 
Madame Noman, Charles Lefebvre, La France, Marquise de Castellane, 
Lady Mary Fitzwilliam, Marie Baumann, Her Majesty. Sir A. Hill, 
Madame Isaac Periere, Fisher Holmes, Gloire Lyonnaise, Prince Arthur, 
Catherine Mermet, Suzanne Marie Rodocanachi, Mrs. John Laing, 
Rosieriste Jacob (silver medal for best bloom), Madame Gabriel Luizet, 
Francois Michelon, The Bride, Jean Ducher, Madame Lambard, Duke 
of Wellington, and Francisca Kiiiger. W. C. Romaine, Esq., was a fair 
second, and Mr. Kleight a weak third. 
In the other classes devoted to amateurs’ Roses the exhibits were 
highly creditable to the growers, especially when it is remembered how 
unfavourable the weather was for Roses during the month of May. 
In the class for six stove and greenhouse plants, not less than three 
to be in flower, there were three competitors, Mr. Barker, gardener to 
H. P. Laschallas, Esq., Bagshot, being accorded the premier position 
with specimens of Alocas a metallica, Aphelexis purpurata. Pancratium 
speciosum, Kentia Fosteriaua, Gloriosa superba, and Dracaena Youngi, 
a'l in creditable condition. The second and third positions were taken by 
Mr. Mossman, gardener to G. Pollock, Esq;, Bagshot, and Mr. Woodgate, 
gardener to Colonel Harvey, Sandhurst, in the order of their names. 
For six foliage plants, exclusive of Coleus, Mr. Barker was again first, 
and thoroughly deserved the position. Kentia Fosteriana, Adiantum 
cuneatum, Caladium Houlleti, Stevensonia grandifolia, Neotopteris 
australis, and Pandanus utilis were each well represented. Mr. Wilson, 
gardener to R. C. Christie, Esq., Windlesham, was a fair second, and 
Mr. Kleight, gardener to E. H. Drake, Esq., Woking, third. In the 
classes for single specimen foliage and flowering plants the competition 
was not very keen, neither were the plants staged of a very high order 
of merit. 
There were flve competitors in the class for six stove or greenhouse 
Ferns, distinct, and some very handsome examples were shown. This 
was especially the case in the first prize exhibit, arranged by Mr. 
Webber, gardener to S. Soames, Esq., Bagshot. which included Adiantum 
formosum, A. gracillimum, A. cuneatum, Pteris cretica albo-lineata, 
P. cretica major, and Nephrolepis exaltata. Mr. Barker was a very 
good second, and Mr. Woodgate a highly creditable third. 
Four circular groups were shown in the class for a group of 
miscellaneous plants, in or out of flower, arranged in a space of 8 by 
8 feet. The arrangement in each case was superb, and difficulty in 
awarding the prizes was experienced. Mr. Barker was first. This 
exhibit included Gladioli, Hydrangea, Streptocarpus, Cattleyas, 
Carnations, Ferns, Cannas, and many others, all in splendid condition. 
Mr. Wilson was second with a somewhat heavier arrangement, in which 
Gloxinias, Coleuses, Ferns, Crotons, and Zonal Pelargoniums were the 
best. Equal third prizes were accorded to Mr. Woodgate and Mr. Moss- 
man, both of which were thoroughly deserved. 
For six Fuchsias, distinct, Mr. Mossman was an easy first with hand¬ 
some plants, Mr. Arnold, gardener to J. B. Ward, Esq., Lambourne, 
Bagshot, being second. The latter exhibitor was first for six Coleuses 
with very fine specimens, and Mr. Kleight was a fair second. In 
the class for six distinct Zonal Pelargoniums, Mr. Wilson was a very 
good first with well-grown plants ; Mr. Lee, gardener to Miss Cave, 
Bagshot, being second, and Mr. Ranee, gardener to E. Lyon, Esq., 
Windlesham Hall, third. Mr. Lee was also first for six Begonias, 
distinct, with fairly well-flowered plants, and was the only competitor. 
Cut flowers charmingly arranged in baskets and vases were very 
good, as also were the table decorations provided by the ladies of the 
district. The entries, however, in the latter, for which there was a class, 
were not very numerous. 
Vegetables staged in competition for Messrs. Sutton & Sons and 
Jas. Carter & Co.’s prizes were of a very high order of merit, as also 
were they in the numerous other classes, of which space will not allow 
us to particularise. Cucumbers, Onions, Cabbages, Potatoes, Peas, and 
Beans may be mentioned as being in very fine condition, and highly 
creditable to their respective growers. 
Fruit was not very largely shown, but the quality was very good 
indeed. Melons were somewhat extensively exhibited, and the compe¬ 
tition was very keen. Strawberries, too, were fine, and the Grapes, 
both black and white, of excellent substance and finish. Peaches, 
Nectarines, and Figs were also staged, but not in large numbers. 
The amateurs’ classes for plants in pots, flowers, fruit and vegetables 
were fairly well filled, and some good examples of culture were 
noticeable. 
Miscellaneous exhibits were not very numerous, but of very good 
quality. Messrs. Geo. Jackman & Son, Woking, staged a very beautiful 
collection of Roses, in which numerous good flowers were noticed. 
Mr. H. C. Corbette, Horsell Nurseries, Woking, arranged four boxes 
of Roses, comprising some charming blooms. Hybrid Briars were sent 
by Messrs. Keynes, Williams & Co., and made one of the most attractive 
exhibits of the show. Lady Penzance was one of the very best, and is 
moreover deliciously scented. Jeanie Deans, Anne of Gierstein, and 
Amy Robsart were also good. Malmaison Carnations were shown in 
splendid form by Messrs. W. Cutbush & Sons, Highgate, and a collec¬ 
tion of Tomatoes from Mr. G. Mossman, Valley End, Chorman.
