other departments of the show were also a great 
success. The attendance was good but would have 
been better if it had not been for a slight rain 
during the evening. The show, however, was a 
marked success and an advance on previous years, 
winding up with a grand display of fireworks. 
Plants. —In the class for twelve stove or green¬ 
house plants, the coveted award fell to Mr. H. H. 
Bradley, of Welton ; and second and third, Messrs. 
R. Simpson & Sons, from Selby. The groups

and here we find Mr. J. Blacker, of Selby, leading 
off, followed for the second prize by Mr. H. 
Broadley ; third and fourth, Messrs. Simpson & Sons. 
Messrs. Simpson & Sons, however, redeemed 
themselves in the entry for a number of fine foliage

“ONE AND ALL” FLOWER SHOW — 
August 18 ih and 19 th. 
This year's show, in connection with the National 
Co-operative Festival, has surpassed the exhibitions 
of previous years, and any who know what has 
previously been held by the Agricultural and Horti¬ 
cultural Association at the Crystal Palace will be 
enabled to appreciate this statement. Produce in 
the fruit and vegetable classes was very superior. 
In some of the cut flower and pot plant entries 
better things could undoubtedly have been brought- 
All the same, so far as the general show was con¬ 
cerned, Mr. E. O. Greening (hon. secretary of the 
"One and All ’•') and Mr. Waugh, as director of this, 
the fourteenth, annual show, must feel that their 
enterprise is rewarded. From Monday, August 14th 
till Saturday the 19th, each day las had some 
attractive items in connection with this " One and 
All ” meeting. The flower show is only one of these 
items and it was opened on Friday afternoon by 
Daniel R. Scratton, Esq., chairman in connection with 
the show. Thousands of visitors attended and it is 
to be hoped that the aims of this association are 
being attained. 
The show was divided into two distinct sections, 
one for competition by professional gardeners; the 
other, the industrial secticn, for those not profes¬ 
sionals. In this, No. I., section all the classes were 
keenly competed for and the entries were always even, 
so that the judging would require to be very carefully 
done. For Broad Beans there were fifteen entries ; 
Dwarf and Runner Beans, forty-two dishes; Beet, 
sixty-six ; Cabbages, sixteen ; Carrots, forty-two ; 
Celery, twenty-eight; Cucumbers, forty-two ; Leeks, 
five; Lettuces, seventeen; Onions, sixty-three; 
Parsnips, twelve; Parsley, twelve; Peas, twenty- 
five; Potatos, ninety-five dishes. 
In section II. for professional gardeners, class I. 
asked for a neat collection of vegetables in ten kinds. 
The first prize here went to Mr. J. Howell, of Salop, 
whose lot was fair, Potatos, Tomatos, Carrots, and 
Beet being the most superior. Mr. J. Holton, of 
Oxford, was equal first. The second prize went to Mr. 
W. Smith, of Harrow, who had a very even lot, and 
the first and second lots must have been very close. 
For fifty Giant "One and All" Scarlet Runner 
Beans, Mr. J. Holton, of Oxford, was here the 
winner with remarkably strong, broad and fleshy 
samples. Messrs. Wadham and A. Basile, of Wey- 
bridge, were second and third. 
For fifty pods of Dwarf Beans, Mr. A. Basile 
here led, and Messrs. Holton and Everton were 
second and third respectively. The other classes for 
a dish of Broad Beans were well competed for, and 
very fine produce was to be seen. Beet made a big 
display, but the quality was largely lacking in many 
of the entries. The first lot of six blood reds came 
from Mr. W. Wadham, and were, however, typically 
good. Mr. J. Holden stood first for six Turnip-rooted 
Beets. Mr. A. Basile, of Weybridge, won in the 
entry for Cabbages (three of one variety), also 
for three pickling Cabbages (red). Carrots were ex¬ 
ceptionally fine. Indeed, no show could have pro¬ 
vided better samples or a more encouraging number 
of entries. Mr. Holton here also showed meritorious 
roots of fine proportions, and even. He took first 
in all the classes for different varieties of Cabbages. 
Cauliflowers were poor, but perhaps the dryness of 
the season has to do with this. The entries for 
Celery which were awarded were, as a rule, very 
much superior to these entries not awarded. The 
winner for the best " One and All ” solid red Celery 
was Mr. Holton, with very fine heads. Other 
entries were more or less lacking of fineness of 
quality. 
Mr. A. Basile, of Weybridge, showed good heads 
of the Giant White. 
Cucumbers made a large entry and were really 
fine. The best brace in. Class XX. came from Mr. 
Constable, at Norwood ; and the second lot from 
Mr. Wadham, of Steeple Asten Association. Mr. 
Wadham had the best brace of Ridge Cucumbers. 
The collections of six varieties of herbs were very 
pleasing. They were very well arranged and each 
lot was fresh and good. Mr. R. Chamberlain, of 
Reading, got the first prize with Thyme, Tarragon, 
Mint, Sage, Parsley; Mr. Walham was second. 
Leeks were not so largely shewn aid not surpassingly 
fine either. The first lot coming from Mr. Basile was 
clearly the best; Mr. J Holton came second; 
followed by Mr. Wadham. 
Lettuces were poor, but this is excusable. 
Onions were handsome, numerous and competi¬ 
tion keen. In Class XXVI., the prize was awarded 
for an entry of nine bulbs in either of the following 
varieties:—Beds. Champion, Brown Globe, James’ 
Keeping, Wroxton, frem the open air, and gained by 
Mr. Wadham ; Mr. R. T. Howell, of Steeple Asten, 
came second ; followed by Mr. T. Lane, of Bromley. 
For nine white Spanish Onions, to be grown in th 
open, tops to be left on, Mr. Wadham again led 
followed by Mr. J. Holton and Mr. A. Basile. Mr 
A. Basile came in first for nine monstrous specimens 
of a new variety ; Mr. Chamberlain, of Reading, 
was second. For nine Tripoli or Giant Rocco, Mr. 
Osman, of Sutton, showed the best ; and Mr. 
Emerton, of Buckingham, next him. Parsnips were 
good for the time of jear. Mr. Holton, of Oxford, 
had some over 3 ft. in length, and Mr. Basile, second. 
There were eight entries. Parsley never seems to 
be what it ought to be, but that shown at the 
Crystal Palace at this show was very good. Mr. 
Tunbridge got the first award here; followed by 
Mr. G. Kitley and Mr. Willis, of Chelmsford. 
Peas made a poor show, but they were nice, even 
pods, all of them. Potatos were remarkably fine ; 
of good size, even, smooth, and clean, they made but 
a moderate entry. Mr. Holton won for the collection, 
with splendid Cole's Favourite, Ideal, Windsor 
Castle, International, Satisfaction, and a seedling 
variety. Mr. Basile was second. These collections 
required nine tubers, three each of Kidney and 
round varieties. 
Mr. J. Holton, of Oxford, won for nine white Kid¬ 
neys, all very fine; also for a like amount of a round 
variety. Mr. Emerton got the pull for the Kidneys, 
and coloured round variety. 
The collection of six salads brought four exhibitors, 
who staged very fine lots. The first prize lot, from 
Mr A. Basile, was good and very creditably arranged, 
including Tomatos, Cucumbers, Beet, Endive, Cel¬ 
ery, and Lettuces. Mr. Wadham had Radishes in 
the place of Endive. Mr. Emerton was behind the 
other two. Shallots were well shown, Mr. Emerton 
here being first with gcod bulbs. Tomatos were 
beautiful and also plentiful; Mr. Howell, of Salop, 
received the first award for a dish of" One and All " 
Perfection Tomato ; Mr. Basile was second ; but only 
one or two points at most could have separated any 
of the entries. Mr. J. Willby, of Hayes, won with 
neat yellow fruits. 
The division for educational judging was not more 
successful than to bring about one entry so that not 
having anything to compare from there was no need 
for giving points. It is to be hoped that more will 
enter another year. The prize went to Mr. R. 
Chamberlain, of Reading, who had a really fine 
stand of fruit, flowers, plants, and vegetables. 
Cut Flowers. —Grown from "One and All" 
seeds, bulbs, and " One and All " manures only. 
The first prize lot of Phlox Drummondii, China 
Asters, Mignonette, Zinnias, Stocks and Marigolds, 
all good, went to Mr. G. Palmer, of Oxford ; Mr. 
Holton, from the same place, came second ; and Mr. 
F. Wood, of Reigate, third. The last entry was 
certainly very fine, but perhaps the fact of one 
weak vase may have accounted for its only getting 
third place. In Class L., for bunches of Annuals of 
the best shade of blue (good idea), Mr. Palmer 
again won, with violet-blue China Asters. Best 
bunch of scarlet, won by Mr. John Humphrejs, of 
Bromley, who had bright Nasturtiums; ditto yellow, 
Mr. Wm. Smith, of Harrow, with lovely Centaureas. 
The first prize for a bouquet of annuals went to Mr. 
G. Palmer; and second, Mr. J. Humphreys. The 
award for a bouquet of hardy annuals and biennials 
went to Mr. Osman, of Chertsey ; and second, Mr. 
Cheal, of Dorking. The Carnations had better 
not be mentioned. Single Dahlias also were 
miserable, showing how poor a season this has been 
for them. China Asters were very well shown. For 
twelve Victoria Asters, Mrs. A. Morris came in first 
with large, well formed fresh blooms. For a like 
number of the Comet Aster, she also won her way, 
and for qaided varieties, Mr, Holton took first. 
Indian Pinks and Mignonette were very fair. Tne 
best three bunches of S^eet Peas came from Mr. 
ChamberlaiD, of Reading. They all were verygood. 
For twelve blooms of handsome African Marigolds, 
Mr. A. Tunbridge, of Chelmsford, won first; while 
fortwelve French ditto, Mr. Holton succeeded. Mr. 
Osman, of SuttOD, came first in a keen competition 
for Petunias. Mr. Chea 1 , of Dorking, led for three
