Naturally Fife - 15/16th September
This year the show remained in
Pittencrieff Park in Dunfermline, albeit with a slight change in
accommodation - a marquee was erected to house the show as the Music Hall
was being used for another event.
Unfortunately the chrysanthemum classes
were poorly supported, underlining once again the problems growing disbud
chrysanthemums in Scotland.
The Fife and Kinross Chrysanthemum
Championship calls for three vases of five blooms in distinct cultivars,
the winner of this class is awarded the J. Miller Trophy. One entry only
in the class this year. Paul Barlow exhibited Millennium, Joyce Frieda and
Primrose Chessington.
In the class for six vases of five medium
blooms again just one entry from Paul Barlow to win the Centennial Shield
with vases of Millennium, John Wingfield plus yellow, honey and salmon
sports along with Lorna Wood. This entry was also Best Exhibit in Show and
received the NCS Silver Medal. The Millennium in this entry was
selected as Best Vase in Show and awarded the NCS Bronze Medal.
The class for three vases of five blooms,
medium, was won by Paul Barlow with vases of Chempak Rose, Purple Chempak
Rose and Joyce Frieda.
The class for three vases of three
mediums was won by Jim Hosie with Cornetto, Woolley Globe and
Millennium.
In the six vases of sprays Bruce McLeod
was successful with Enbee Wedding, plus bronze, honey, ruby and primrose
sports. Callum Smith was places second, Callum used Hone, Rose and
Primrose Enbee Wedding plus Southway Stena.
In the three vase class for exhibition
sprays Callum Smith was successful with Eose Enbee, Southway Sheba and
Southway Stena. George Christie was second.

Alexander Innes and A Davidson.
