1881. ] 
NATIONAL CARNATION AND PICOTEE SOCIETY. 
157 
colours in the Carnations had been toned almost 
to the point of bleaching, a result due, we 
believe, to over-close covering, the growers 
from Newcastle would be competitors of the 
very first order. The judges were Mr. C. 
Turner, of Slough ; Mr. Jon. Booth, Failswortli; 
and Mr. Dodwell, of Clapliam, assisted in the 
classes for single specimens by Mr. Edward 
Adams, Swalwel, Gateshead.
