- Progress in Gardening.
Progress in Gardening. The increasing interest taken in Usk Flower Show year by year is apparent in a greater number of entries, in the im- proved quality of the exhibits, and in the arrangement of the various speci mens -this last feature being especially noticeable on Thursday, in the grouping of vegetables. A visit to the show is now eagerly looked forward to by the whole surrounding district, and its pleasant situation on the Cricket Field greatly enhances its attractions and affords an enjoyable outing for cyclists and others on the early closing days of neighbouring towns. One of the most delightful of modern writers has laid it down that he who loves Nature is always young," while another, of world-wide ex- perience, says 44 almost everything that the peasant does is lifted above vulgarity by ancient and often sacred associations." This applies especially to agriculture —MAN'S EARLIEST INDUSTRY- I in all its branches. The Chinese, Indians, Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans were noted gardeners of antiquity, and to the last named we, in Britain, are indebted for its introduction into our own country. When the Roman Empire declined garden- ing fell into decay, and was only revived during the 12th and 13th centuries by the monks who freely made use of medicinal herbs. The first book on gardening, written in poetry by Jon Gardener in the 15th century, was called 41 The Feate of Garden- ing," and from that time flower gardeuing became more popular until what was known as the Elizabethan style, with its closely clipped yews, attained a high level. This it the period which Bacon desoribea with ,44 feofrfiog raw aa4 (ma-dials, And it continued in vogue until the time of' Queen Anne, when I LANDSCAPE GAKDENING took its place, and has been improved upon ever since. None can adequately speak of the physical and mental value of garden- ing, but how many of us can re-echo the words of Dr. Charles Mackay on the garden as a mental refuge:- Stand back, bewildered politics I've placed my fences round; Pass on with all your party tricks, Nor tread on holy ground Stand back-I'm weary of your talk, Your squabbles and yonr hate You cannot enter in this walk, I've closed my garden gate." Stand back, frivolity and show, It is a day of spring I want to see my roses blow, And bear the blackbird sing. I wish to prune my apple-trees, And nail my peaches straight; Keep to the causeway, if you please, I've shut my garden gate
1 Flower show,
1 Flower show, I STILL IMPROVING. The eighth annual exhibition of the Usk Horiicultural and Cottage Garden Society was held in the Cricket Field, on Thursday, in fine weather, but the dull weather of the morning and the fear of rain undoubtedly affected the I. gate," the receipts from which amounted to about 930, as compared with £ 32 last year. As stated ] 1 t week, the entries beat by 60 the record of 520 made last year. The exhibits were staged in two marquees of very much larger size than have hitherto been used, and the result was a marked improvement in the arrangement of the show, while at the same time visitors were enabled to view the magnificent products of the soil with greater ease of locomotion and personal comfort. Mr Coomber, who was one of the judges some few years ago, said he noticed a great improve- ment in the groups, and the show altogether was on the up grade. The vegetables were very strong in all sections, and especially onions and potatoes, but a cauliflower took the special prize for the best vegetable in the show. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and scarlet runners were also worth special mention. Considering the season, the fruit was very good, peaches leading. In plants, &c., to the forefront were coleus, cockscombs, gloxinias, zonal pelargoniums, and celosias; while of cut flowers, cactus dahlias and bego- nias were the pick. In the groups, Mrs Lawrence, Ty Brith (Mr F. C. Shergold, gardener) took the blue ribbon meritoriously, the Rev W. M. Willett, The Helmaen (Mr J. B. Greening), and Mr J. T. Davies, Castle House (Mr J. Devoy) came sec- ond and third respectively. Other winners in the open classes were Mr R. Rickards, J.P., The Priory (Mr A. J. Odam); Mr H. Freeman, Plas Newydd (Mr J. George); Mr H. S Gus- tard, Porthycarne House (Mr A. Symonds); Sir A. Moloney, K.C.M.G, Cefn Tilla Court (Mr Ducker) Mr Richard Herbert, The Garn (Mr Pugh); Rev C. T. Salusbury, Tredunnock Mr S. T. Griffin, J.P., C.C., Coedypaen Mr A. W. Trotman, The RUadyr and the Misses Roberts, Usk. Other prizewinners in different sections were Mrs George (who, amongst other things, showed a splendid musk), Mrs G. Watkins, Misses Maud Greening, G. Walters, Violet Probert, P. Devoy, F. Greening, M. Baynham, Col. Ferguson, Messrs G. Smith, W. J. Sweet, E. Bowyer, T. Jones, T. G. Knight, E. Knight, J. Lewis, J. Griffiths, F. Watkins, J. Powell, A. C, Smart, A. L. Greening, F. Hughes, H. Meredith, G. Evans, &c. As usual, Mr H. Pitt, F.R.H.S., of Aber- gavennv, again had a fine display of sweet peas (30 varieties), ferns, palms, and choice foliage plants a beautiful wreath of white flowers and a splendid collection of dessert apples, cherries, peaches, nectarines, and grapes. It is gratifying to note that not a few prize-winners grew their exhibits from seeds supplied by him, and a dish of Morella cherries, shown by Mr Freeman (not for competition), which it would be hard to beat, were from a tree which came from his nursery. By-the-bye, the Committee might consider the advisability of adding to their schedule a class for cherries. A striking feature of the show was the various collections of vegetables, which it would be hard to beat anywhere (Mr George taking Fidler's challenge medal), and, speaking generally, there were many exhibits which would claim the judge's eye in the best shows of the country. During the afternoon the Usk Volunteer Band (under Bandmaster E. B. Haynes) played a general selection of music, and in the evening provided a programme of dances. Their performances were complimentarily referred to. "Prince Omar Hassan gave entertainments consisting of experiments with liquid air and sleight of hand tricks. A game of bowls was also played on the ground by teams from Usk and Abergavenny, the former having the best of matters. Mrs Mayberry of the Royal," Uak, provided the refreshments. Mr Thomas Jones again performed the secretarial duties with that thoroughness which characterises him, and he was assisted by the following officials:—General committee — Messrs. J. H. Clark, S. T. Griffin, B. F. Stockham, A. F. Lucas, J. George, A. Symonds, F. 0. Shergold, J. Watkins, J. B. Greening, A. J. Odam, E. Bowyer, J. Powell, T. Knight, J. Edmunds; hon treasurer, Mr Joseph Davies. To these the thanks of all are due, as also to Messrs. E. and W. Rowen, and F. Morgan, who assisted at the gate, arranging the show &c. The judges were:—Mr T. Coomber, of The Hendre, Monmouth, and Mr T. Cooper, of Sedbury Park, near Chepstow. The following is the LIST OF AWARDS: I OPEN CLASSES.—POT PLANTS.
