Reigate  Horticultural,  July  17tl{, 
The  fifteenth  annual  show  of  the  Borough  of  Reigate  Cottage 
Garden  and  Horticultural  Society  was  held,  by  kind  permission  of 
G.  C.  P.  Hull,  Esq.,  in  the  beautiful  grounds  of  The  Mount,  Earlswood, 
on  Wednesday,  July  17th.  The  weather  was  piping  hot.  With  the 
additional  feature  of  a  good  brass  band  the  numerous  visitors  had  a 
splendid  afternoon’s  enjoyment.  Mr.  W.  Punton,  as  hon.  secretary,  had 
his  efforts  crowned  with  success,  for  the  show  was  perhaps  as  fine 
all-round  as  it  ever  has  been.  Roses  were  scarce,  but  the  entries  for 
foliage  and  flowering  plants  were  as  good  as  formerly.  Some  splendid 
exhibits  of  fruit  from  the  gardens  around  Reigate  were  staged.  The 
district  is  one  in  which  there  is  great  prospect  for  more  advanced 
exhibitions  of  this  kind,  and  the  committee  can  still  go  a  few  steps 
further,  and  combine  other  attractions  with  their  flower  show,  so  that 
the  latter  may  be  the  more  patronised. 
In  class  131  of  the  gardeners’  section,  for  a  group  of  plants  arranged 
D  shape,  50  super  feet,  the  first  prize  of  £3  went  to  Col.  Inglis

Evered,  Esq.,  was  first;  and  M.  Marous,  Esq.,  second  for  a  larger 
group  in  class  130.  Mr.  G.  Hall  (gardener,  Mr.  H.  Pottle)  was  the  only

winner  with  a  poor  enough  selection,  good  plants,  but  not  at  all  choice; 
the  second  place  was  accorded  to  R.  B.  Evered,  Esq.,  who  had  a 
magnifioent  Ananassa.  The  latter  also  won  for  a  specimen  foliage 
plant  with  a  moderate  sample  of  Anthurium  orystallinum.  Mrs.  Waite 
added  to  her  honours  the  first  prize  for  four  greenhouse  plants  in 
flower,  having  Trachelium  cseruleum,  Lilium  lancifolium,  Begonias,  &c.

fruit  shown  was  of  a  very  high  standard.  Exhibitors  should  name  all 
varieties,  however,  otherwise  those  who  prepare  the  reports  cannot  stop 
to  consider  what  this  or  that  may  be. 
Vegetables  — F.  Vigors,  Esq.  (gardener,  Mr.  W.  Leppard),  had  the
