space to accommodate the large crowds of 
people who assembled, particularly during 
the afternoon and evenings of both days. 
The completely representative character of 
the show was due to the fact that fruits, 
flowers and vegetables in various phases 
were got together under one roof. In a 
word it was like getting fruit, flower and 
vegetable shows combined in one, with the 
addition of such special exhibitions as Rose, 
Carnation, Chrysanthemum, Pansy, and 
Viola, and Dahlia shows all in one. The 
peculiarities of the climate of the east and 
west of Scotland favour the contempor¬ 
aneous flowering of a large and varied 
assortment of plants, making a general 
exhibition a thing of easy accomplishment 
during the month of September. Un¬ 
doubtedly the Waverley Market has also 
favoured the development of the show on 
its present extensive scale, as the early 
history of the society, given in another 
column, will indicate. Other large cities 
and towns might well give this phase of the 
subject due consideration, and provide 
suitable accommodation for the housing 
of their local exhibitions and other useful 
institutions. 
As to which was the most notable feature 
of the exhibition, there might be differences 
of opinion, according to the special sym¬ 
pathies or leanings of the visitors. For 
many years past Grapes have been a 
marked feature of the Edinburgh shows, 
both with regard to quantity, size of bunch 
and berry. Some gardeners are of opinion 
that the climate of Scotland being cooler, 
with a less arid atmosphere than in England 
during the middle and hotter parts of the 
day, it is an easier matt ;r to maintain a 
genial, growing atmosphere. Be that as it 
may there were some notable exhibits in 
the various classes. The six bunches 
shown by Mr. Lunt, of Keir Gardens, were 
examples of high class culture, in weight, 
evenness, and finish. Even the Muscat of
