bloom measuring 8 inches across. Mr. Newman took second prize for 
a larger set of blooms. 
The classes for amateurs were closely competed by Mr. W, Aldous 
and Mr. J. C. Sharpin, who showed wonderfully good specimens both 
of plants and blooms, Mr. G. Aldous and Mr. A. Salter also exhibiting 
praiseworthy varieties. Mr. A. Salter exhibited a good specimen of 
Mons. E. Bahuant. An especially attractive part of the exhibition was 
the division for bouquets, the prize exhibit of Mr. Newman and Mrs. 
Bead’s epergne being fine arrangements, and the other exhibits were 
also of exceptional merit. An improvement was also manifest in the 
quantity and qualify of Primulas, Mignonette, and Neapolitan Violets. 
The groups of miscellaneous plants were another noteworthy feature of 
the show. Mrs. Bead took first prize for a group of very fine Chrys¬ 
anthemum blooms, a smaller though better variety of plants shown by 
Mr. Masters being awarded second prize. 
Mr. J. Batters, Chairman of the Committee, and gardener to Mr. J. G. 
Kenyon of Gillingham Hall, exhibited twenty dishes of vegetables, 
including splendid specimens of Cardoon, an old-fashioned vegetable 
rarely grown nowadays, but making a very fine dish, several varieties of 
Artichoke, including the Chinese variety, some very fine Leeks, and large 
Onions, together with various other dishes, which made up a very fine 
collection. 
CABNABVON. 
The first Chrysanthemum show for the ancient town of Carnarvon 
and District took place on November 15th in the Victoria Drill Hall, 
and proved such a decided success as to warrant its continuance in 
future years. Mr. David Jones was Chairman of the Committee, and 
Mr. T. 0. Morgan the Secretary, to whom great praise is due for the 
businesslike manner the whole arrangements were carried out. Mr. 
John Davies, jun. of Tijny-glyn, carried ofi the champion cup for the 
best twenty-four cut blooms, composed of twelve incurved and twelve 
Japanese, as well as the medal offered by Messrs. Tilling and Blackburn

YEOVIL. 
This show was held in the Town Hall and Corn Exchange on the 
13th inst. The result was very satisfactory and encouraging to the 
Committee and the excellent Hon. Secretary (Mr. E. H. Oakley), and 
with a view to promoting even better competition in these classes next 
year the Mayor of Yeovil (Sidney Watts, Esq) at the luncheon 
announced his intention to give 5 guineas as prizes in the cottagers’ 
classes, promising at the same time to give £5 in prizes in the cut-bloom 
classes for amateurs. 
Three good groups of Chrysanthemums were arranged in the open 
class, Mr. A. Crossman, gardener to J. Brutton, Esq., Yeovil, being an 
excellent first, winning the silver cup and National Chrysanthemum 
certificate with admirably grown and effectively arranged plants. Mr. 
C. Anthony, gardener to Thomas Moore, Esq., Yeovil, was a meritorious 
second ; and Mr. Gear, gardener to H. Stiby, Esq., Yeovil, was a fair 
third. Only two groups of miscellaneous plants were arranged in 
competition for the three offered by the Society. These were put up by 
Mr. F. Biss, gardener to Jabez Bradford, Esq., Yeovil, and Mr. Appleby, 
gardener to W. T. Dampier-Bide, Esq., who took the prizes in that 
order. Specimen Chrysanthemum plants call for no remark further 
than to say that there is room for improvement in their culture. Table 
plants, however, were well shown. 
Four prizes were offered for thirty-six blooms, Japanese, not less 
than twenty-four varieties, but only three stands were staged. Mr. 
Copp, gardener to W. E. S. Erle-Drax, Holdness, Sherborne, was first, 
staging good blooms of Waban, Florence Davis, Silver King (2), Pr^fet 
Bobert, President Borel (2), Mdlle. Th{5ieGe Bey (2), Stanstead White

Val d’Andorre (2), Viviand Morel, Etoile de Lyon, W. H. Lincoln (2), 
Mrs. F. Lawson, Marvel, Mrs. C. W. Wheeler, Madame Bicord, Madame 
Coppin, G. W. Child, and others. Mr. N. Mose, gardener to J. F. 
Sampson, Esq., Bridport, was a good second ; and Mr. A. Crossman 
close third. 
Mr. Copp was to the front for a stand of twelve incurved blooms,

Mrs. Norman Davis, Queen of England, Miss Haggas, Mrs. S. Coleman,

Newington, Violet Tomlin, and Mrs, Heale. Mr. F. Dark, gardener to 
T. E. D. Phil pot. Esq. Holm Cleve, Lyme Begis, was second. Mr.

grandly flowered plant of Bougainvillea, Coker Court variety. It is a 
very distinet and free-flowering variety. Messrs. Bobert Veitch & Son, 
Exeter, and Messrs. Jarman & Co., contributed splendid assortments of 
Apples—the Exeter collection being especially attractive. Fruit and 
vegetables were well shown in the competitive classes. 
GLASGOW. 
The executive of the Glasgow Chrysanthemum Society have reason 
to be proud of their first exhibition, which was held in the City Hall on 
the 21st and 22nd inst. It was a grand show, but it is a pity that a 
more commodious building is not available. The competition was 
excessively keen in the majority of classes, no less than 400 entries being 
recorded. The exhibits, if we except the specimen Chrysanthemum 
plants, were well up to the average in quality. 
Cut blooms formed the most important part of the show, the principal 
class being that for thirty-six Japanese blooms, distinct, and for which 
the sum of £10 was offered as first prize. Seven growers competed, 
making a very fine display. The contest for premier honours lay with 
Mr. W. Bushton, gardener to W. A. Donaldson, Esq., Cochno, Duntocher, 
and Mr. J. Machar, gardener to B. Mudie, Esq., Coronna, Broughty 
Ferry. The former gained the coveted award by a very small margin 
of points with a stand of blooms possessing much weight, of size and 
colour, and were well staged. The most noteworthy examples were 
Charles Davis, Stanstead White, Mdlle. Marie Hoste, G. C. Schwabe, 
Lady E. Saunders, W. H. Lincoln, Niveus, Mons. Bernard, W. W. Coles, 
President Borel, Avalanche, and Viviand Morel. A marvellous example 
of Stanstead White and an almost equally good one of Viscountess 
Hambledon were included in the second prize stand. To the former 
bloom was awarded premier prize as the best Japanese in the show. 
Mr. D. Nicoll, Bossie Gardens, Forgandenny, Perth, was third. 
For twenty-four Japanese Mr. Bushton was again placed first with 
excellent examples of leading varieties. Mr. Thos. Lunt, Keir Gardens, 
Dunblane, a good second. Mr. D. Halliday, Curtican Gardens, Ayr, 
third. For twelve Japanese, distinct, Messrs. Nicoll, Machar, and 
Bushton were placed in the order that their names are here given, all 
staging really fine examples. Prizes were offered for six blooms of stated 
varieties, the whole making a fine display. For Stanstead White, Mr. 
Bushton won with substantial blooms beautifully fresh and full. Mr. 
L. Geddes, Knock Castle Gardens, Largs, was second. Mr. T. Dale, 
gardener to J. Gordon, Esq., Aikenhead, Cathcart, won with grand
