PENINSULA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

AUTUMN SHOW. HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION 1 ~ 1 { The Peninsula Horticultural Society's annual autumn show was held at Portobello on Saturday, and attracted a; large number of exhibitors. There were good attendancesat 1 both the-afternoon and evening sessions; ■ and much credit must be given to the committee, and especially to the secretary,'Mr J. Seaton, for the excellent manner - in which the arrangements for the show were carried out. There was a large number of new exhibitors, and the judges remarked that during the past few years the, quality of the entries at this show had been markedly improving. The outstanding exhibit in the flower section was a vase of gladioli, shown by Mr James Miller, and it was closely followed by some begonias grown by Miss M. M'Cartney. The general standard of this section was very nigh, and the judge remarked that it was, fully up to that of the provincial flower shows. Other flowers which attracted a good deal of attention were sweet, peas, scabions, geraniums, asters, carnations, and sweet sultanas.

,The decorative work made a very good exhibit. The colour seherftes were, as a whole, very well worked out, but in some cases there were slight errors in arrangement, which, had they been avoided, would have made a great difference to the general effect. The children’s work in the decorative section showed promise, but, as could only be expected; there was a lack of attention to detail.

The judge of the vegetable section said that the exhibits, as a* whole, were very good, and that he would not like to single out any particular one for special mention. ' He remarked, however, on the very good quality of the potatoes shown. The baking section attracted a good number* of entries, the cakes being especially worthy of mention. The children’s exhibits were surprisingly good, and one plate of pikelets was fully up to standard of the adults’ baking, , There wefce not many entries in the egg section, 1 but its general standard was high. Mrs W. J. Dennett had a fine exhibit of butter, which drew forth some very favourable comment from the judge All the other, classes were fully up to the standard of the show, - which' may be described as an outstanding‘success from a' horticultural point of view.
