Mr.  J.  F.  G  roves,  Cedar  Nursery,  Ham,  Surrey,  had  a  col¬ 
lection  ot  the  sensational  Eldorado  Potatoes,  in  pots.  Doubtless 
this  is  the  first  time  that  such  an  exhibit  has  appeared  at  a 
Temi^le  Show. 
Messrs.  H.  Cannell  and  Sons,  Swanley,  made  an  effective  dis¬ 
play  with  vegetables.  Peas,  King  Edward  VII.,  Duke  of  Nor¬ 
folk,  British  Empire,  and  English  Wonder  were  fine,  as  also 
were  Cabbage  Cannell’s  Defiance,  and  Potatoes  Snowdrop, 
Beauty  of  Hebron,  King  Edward  VII.,  Springfield  Harbinger, 
Supreme,  New  Perfection,  Windsor  Castle,  Ti'iumph,  and  Carl- 
tonian.  In  addition  to  the  above,  the  collection  contained  good 
examples  of  Peas,  Dwarf  and  Bunner  Beans,  Tomatoes, 
Marrows,  Carrots,  and  Giant  Cos  Lettuce.  By  the  way  in 
which  the  vegetables  were  arranged,  the  dishes  were  all  shown 
up  to  good  advantage. 
The  Hon.  A.  H.  T.  de  IMontmorency,  The  Grange,  Carrick- 
mines,  Dublin,  .sent  thi-ee  dishes  of  Potatoes,  Royal  Kidney,  Sir 
John  Idewelyn,  and  Snowdrop,  grown  under  glass,  with  no 
other  heat  than  that  provided  liy  the  sun.  Mr.  J.  Hobday, 
Southfield,  Havering  Road,  Romford,  showed  some  tremendous 
sticks  of  Rhubarb,  rightly  named  The  Giant.  Some  large  heads 
‘of  Asparagus  were  exhibited  by  iMr.  A.  T.  Haiuvood,  Colchester, 
.  ^Ir.  M’alter  Godfrey,  Colchester,  and  Mr.  Robert  Stephenson,
