Aberdeen C&D Society - 17th September

In spite of the year the show was well supported with a fine show of chrysanths and dahlias from North East growers with very little room left on the benches. The chrysanthemum judge was Dennis Morrice from Fraserburgh. 

The results from the chrysanthemum classes are detailed below. The Aberdeen Championship for Large blooms requires three vases of five blooms of at least two cultivars. Just one entry this year from Paul Barlow with an exhibit that included vases of Billy Bell and two vases of Lynn Johnson. 

The Aberdeen Champion of Mediums requires three vases of five blooms of at least two  cultivars, again just one entry in this class. Paul Barlow's entry consisted of Lemon Rosa Hockedy, Joyce Frieda and John Wingfield. This entry was judged Best Exhibit and the Joyce Frieda was selected as Best Vase in Show.  

The Press and Journal Trophy class requires six vases of three blooms in at least four cultivars. Two entries this year from Paul Barlow and Ian Gerrie.  

In the spray classes Society Secretary Donald Buchan won the class for three vases of Natural Sprays, 

In the local Growers class for three vases of three blooms Jim Craigen's entry took first place. In the open class for three vases of three blooms Paul Barlow exhibited Woolley Globe, Millennium and Cream John Wingfield to win the class. Donald Buchan and Murray Reid also exhibited in this class. 

Single vase entries in disbuds and sprays were well supported by all growers.
