NON-COMPETITIVE EXHIBITS.

conspicuous for a nice exhibit of Carnations. 
Mr. John Forbes, Hawick, showed a grand lot of Phloxes, for 
which he is deservedly famed.

don, also had Water Lilies on show. 
Messrs. Dickson’s, of Chester, had fine Roses. 
Messrs. Fell, of Hexham, had a nice group of Coniferae, in¬

Other firms we noticed with stands were Messrs. Mack and 
Miln, Messrs. Kent and Brydon, and Messrs. Laing and 
Mather, who showed Carnations and Roses. 
The arrangements for the show were admirable, and one 
must compliment the secretary (Mr. I. B. Reid) on the success 
of this, the oldest-established show in England.. T. W. D. 
GLASGOW AND WEST OF SCOTLAND PANSY. 
July 22nd. 
The annual exhibition of the above society was held in the 
Trades Hall, Glassford Street, on the above date. It is not 
absolutely confined to Pansies and Violas, but includes Roses, 
herbaceous plants, and Pinks among the specialities. Competi¬ 
tion was pretty keen, and a notable feature of the exhibition 
was the large number of competitors who had never previously 
won a prize. The judges were:—Violas : Messrs. M. Camp¬ 
bell, High Blantyre ; and J. Stewart, Rothesay. Pansies : 
Messrs. R. Sutherland, Kirkintilloch; R. Stewart, Lenzie; W. 
Storey, Lenzie ; and J. Smellie, Busby. Roses: Mr. A. Gray, 
jum, Dairy. 
The Pansies and Roses were certainly the principal features 
of the exhibition. These flowers evidently have a wonderfully 
recuperative power on the return of fine weather, judging from 
the. fine exhibits put up at this show.

Pansies was secured by Messrs. A. Lister and Son, Meadow - 
bank Nursery, Rothesay, who had a well-grown and well-staged

of fancy Pansies. In this instance Mr. Charles Kay, Gargun- 
nock, carried off the silver cup. The other winners were Mr. 
J. Smellie and Mr. W. Wilson, in this order. 
The silver medal for 18 blooms of fancy Pansies was taken 
by Mr. James Paul, who was followed by Mr. C. Kay and Mr. 
J. Smellie in this order. 
As a raiser of Pansies, Mr. C. Kay is as enthusiastic as 
ever, and on this occasion secured the leading prize for 12 blooms 
of seedling fancy Pansies, beating Mr. J. Smellie and Messrs. 
A. Lister and Son in this order. 
The last-named came to the front for six blooms of any 
variety of fancy Pansy. Air. C. Kay was second, and Mr. T. 
M'Gregor was third. 
In the class for 24 show Pansies, Air. A. Oiler took the lead,

the amateurs’ classes, and the silver medal for 24 fancy Pansies 
in at least 12 varieties was secured by Air. A. Frater, who was 
closely followed by Air. R. Young and Mr. P. Braithwait. 
Air. J. Sweenie secured the silver medal for 18 blooms of 
fancy Pansies, beating Mr. A. Frater and Air. M. Maxwell.

prize was secured by Alessi’s. Al. Campbell and Sons, who were 
followed by Air. A. Brown.

two leading classes were Alessrs. D. Robertson and Co., Helens¬ 
burgh. They were followed in the class for 24 blooms by Mr 
J. Russell, and the same order was maintained for 12 hybrid 
Tea Roses. 
Air. J. Russell had the premier Rose in the show. 
Various other classes were open to amateurs within certain 
districts, or who had never taken a prize before, and here com 
petition was good.
