THE GARDENING WORLD 
July 5, 1890. 
Martagon Lily, also the white variety, a rich magenta 
Cranesbill, Aquilegia chrysantha, &6. 
Fruit was limited in quantity, but fairly good in 
quality. The best black Grapes were Black Hamburgh, 
the best white,. Muscat of Alexandria and Buckland 
Sweetwater ; the best Peach, JIagdala; the best 
Nectarines, Lord Napier and Pavers’ Early Orange. 
There were also good President Strawberries and May 
Duke Cherries ; and Mr. T. Lockie, Oakley Court 
Gardens, Windsor, had a very fine brace of Carter’s 
Model Cucumber. 
Vegetables were a great feature and they covered a 
great amount of tabling. Messrs. Sutton & Sons, of 
Beading, and E. Webb & Sons, of Wordsley, offered 
handsome special prizes for collections of six dishes of 
vegetables, the entries being very numerous in each 
case. Messrs, Sutton & Sons’ first prize was won by 
Mr. W. Pope, The Gardens, Highclere Castle, who had 
a very fine lot ; Mr. T. Lockie was second ; and these 
two exhibitors were also first and second in the competi¬ 
tion for Messrs. Webb & Sons’ special prizes. Excellent 
Peas, Potatos (round and kidney), Cabbage, &c., were 
shown. The day was beautifully fine, and the receipts 
amounted to nearly £200.

NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Special attention is paid in the columns of The 
Gardening World to the answering of questions on 
all subjects connected with practical horticulture, and 
the naming of Plants (other than Florists’ Flowers) and 
Fruits, in which department the Editor is assisted by 
gardeners and specialists of great experience. 
Correspondents who may require their communica¬ 
tions, if not accepted, to be returned, must in all cases 
enclose stamps for the return postage. The name and 
address of every writer must be given, not necessarily 
for publication, if that is not desired, but simply as a 
guarantee of the writer’s bond fidcs. No notice what¬ 
ever will be taken of anonymous letters. 
To save time, as far as possible, correspondents are 
speciallj- requested to write only on one side of the 
paper ; to write their questions in as few words as 
possible consistent with clearness ; and where two or 
more questions are asked on widely different subjects, 
to be good enough to put them ou separate pieces of 
paper.

QUESTIONS ANj$?jf^SWE§p^ 
Fumigating. —Constant Header: So much depends upon the 
condition of the tobacco paper and the method of using it, that 
we cannot pretend to say the exact quantity required for 1,000 
cubic feet. You must till the house full of smoke, whatever may 
be the quantity required, as anything less than that will be mere 
waste of material. 
Names of Plants. — J. Dixon : 1, Senecio Doronicum; 2, 
Saponaria ocymoides : 3. Carduus heterophyllns. J. Crook: 1 , 
Centranthus ruber ; 2, Syringa Emodi; 3, Pulmonaria sacchara- 
tum ; 4, Centaurea macrocephala.
