BHERBORNE FLOWER BHO W.

Ths great annual show at Sherborne Park was this year a complete *nooses. The weather was fortunately
fun, and the entries were 200 larger than on any
previous occasion, numbering 1,100. Tbe flower tent,
which usually is most attrac ire, coutoined this year
one of the laegest and choicest shows of stove and
egreentoneeshp.lrenbotarnacnd cumtr.floHwaezifhagtardhaevbee:vetor big
Richard irlyn, uuder whose care the supervision and
the staging of toe exhibits in this tent war! entrusted,
was every large contributor. Mr. Dampier- Bide, of
Yeovil, sent for the brat time a collection of stove and
greenhouse plants, which in themselves formed an
excellent additi di. Mr. Bide also sent a very
fine lot of foliage plants, but in the fern
exhibition he had to compete again against Mr.
Seal, of Kingsdon, sonuerion, show collection is
always a long way the hest of any shown in Sher.
bin be, and was on Wednesday again awarder I first prize.
Mr. 'l'. Moore, of Yeovil, was • large exhibitor of
fuchsias, but nut any of the plants shown on Wednee-
da. were equal to those seen yearly at Bath. He also
sent some coleus, remarkable for size Illld colour, and
some very excellent getsoiums, with which he est
most successful. Iu cut flowers there were two trays
of glediolis, one of them (shown by Mr. I)drY.
Yi idyll) containing some very fine spike,. Tl'e
executors of the late Mr. Blandford, nurseryman.
Woodford, were the only exhibitors in th open class
of verbenas and, coneidering the inclement weather,
the exhibition was most creditable, and de-erring of
the first prize nward,cl to IL Asters were numerous
an.l go,id, and the bunches of cut flowers were very
showy, one display includioi, a hooch of allemande
yellow flowers. In the amateur clan there were five
trays of dahlias, some of the flowers being excellent;
roses numbered for very good display,, and there
were ten trays of excellent esters. r. R'. Adams of
Sherborne, as usual, exhibited his collection of British
ferns and mosses, which made a pretty little exhibition
at the entrance of the ton.
The fruit was exceedingly fine throughout; larger
Nichol or nectarines we have never betne sees, but
the grapes eiperrially were a clan to view and admire,
and of then the best were the blacks. Both in fruit
and vegetables the amateur competition was consider-
ably below that which may fairly be styled the upper
