Judge Praises Entries Mr. George Gilding, of Toronto, who judged the various classes, said it was a pretty little show, with two or three really outstanding entries. He commented on the rcmarkabse showing made by the secretary, Geo. Vickers, with his display of gladioli. A collection of Phlox Drummondi, en- tered by Mrs. W. M. Abbot, were very ne, and the Salpiglossis and Scabiosa, he said, were splendid specimens. The few asters displayed by the president of the society, Mr. J. A. .\IacLaren, and Mrs. George Shannon, Mr. Gilding stated, were choice in variety and bloom, in fact, he thought that what the show lack- ed was not quality, but quantity. He said it had not been a very good year {or Glads and those shown in Barrie were exceptionally tine, taking everything into consideration. There was some weakness of stem and some of the spikes were twisted and irreg~ ular, but evidently the local growers had not been troubled with the dis- ease known as thrip, which had at- tacked Glads in other parts of the province.
