For eight bunches of Grapes, Mr M'Indoe was the only exhibitor; the sorts were Black Hamburg and Barbarossa, fine and good Gros Colmar, and Duke of Buccleuch. For four bunches, Mr Kirk, who made a sensation two or three years ago, was barely first, Mr M'Kinnon following very closely indeed. In the twelve-bunch class, the weight of the Broxmouth Grapes again proved overpowering, though the second lot was again very close. Especially fine were the Muscat of Alexandria, the Gros Colmars, the Alicantes, and Buck-land Sweetwater in the first lot - Barbarossa, Trebbiano, and Duke of Buccleuch being the strong bunches in the other. In the classes for particular varieties, in many cases the first and second prize lots were of the closest, some grand examples of highly finished Grapes being shown. In the Black Hamburg, Muscat of Alexandria, Gros Colmar, Black Alicante, Lady Downes, Duke of Buccleuch, and Golden Champion classes, this was especially noticeable. We have seen much finer Pine-apples than were forward at this show; but Peaches, though not large in number, were extra fine. Much dissatisfaction was shown over the judging of these, large and fine-looking fruit being passed for that of a smaller size.

Apricots were very fine indeed; and the first-prize collection of hardy fruit was a most notable one.

In the vegetable classes, the first-prize collection in gardeners' section was the only noteworthy lot; but in the classes for particular kinds, some grand examples of high-class culture were staged. In addition to the Crotons from Messrs Ireland & Thomson, which obtained first-class certificates, a Lobelia from Messrs Downie & Laird, named "Miss Duncan," had a like award; as also a new Heath from Mr Turnbull, Bothwell Castle, which is named Erica Thompsoni : this is a most floriferous variety, with rosy tube and white petal; the flowers are borne in round spikes.

The judges were: - Messrs Thomson, Clovenfords; John Methven, Blyths-wood; Charles Johnstone, Dalhousie; M'Kinnon, Scone Palace; Campbell, Merton Hall; Galloway, Minto; Lindsay, Botanic Gardens; Shearer, landscape-gardener, Edinburgh; M'Kenzie, Warriston; Souza, Tough; Anderson, Oxenford; and Grey, Eglinton.
