Perth Chrysanth & Dahlia Society - 8/9th September
The Perth Show was held in
St. Mathews Church hall alongside the River Tay in the city centre. In
line with other shows already reported entries here were also down
compared to previous years.
The premier class calls for
six vases of five blooms large and/or medium. Just one entry in the class
this year from Paul Barlow. Paul's entry consisted of Pink and Peach John
Wingfield, Chempak Rose and the purple sport, Billy Bell and Primrose
Chessington. This entry was chosen as Best Exhibit in Show and the vase of
Primrose Chessington selected as Best Vase in Show.
In the class for three vases
of five medium blooms Paul Barlow's entry (Joyce Frieda, Red Chempak
Rose and John Wingfield) was the only entry and was awarded first
prize.
Three entries in the class
for three vases of three blooms - Paul Barlow was first (John Wingfield,
pink John Wingfield and Joyce Frieda). Jim Hosie was second (pink John
Wingfield, Woolley Globe plus Cornetto). The third entry was unfortunately
'nas'd' due to there not being three distinct cultivars in the
exhibit.
In the class for three large
intermediates W Roberston was successful with Billy Bell, and repeated the
success in the incurved class with a single vase of 'Lorna Wood'. Jim
Hosie was successful in several single vase classes including the mixed
vase of five blooms.
In the spray classes Bruce
McLeod was successful with Enbee wedding, Honey Enbee and Lucy, this entry
collected the NCS Certificate of Merit. Jim Hosie was second in this class
with Rose, Peach and Enbee Wedding. A second Certificate of Merit was
awarded to J Cameron for his vase of primrose Enbee Wedding.
