Tiptree Garden Club<br />
& Horticultural Society Autumn Show<br />
Once again the report of our show<br />
starts in ‘spite of the weather’. It<br />
was a very dry winter with hose<br />
pipe bans in the spring and then<br />
the rain came and the bans were<br />
lifted. This was followed by damp<br />
cold weather resulting in strange<br />
and worrying growing conditions,<br />
these are the challenges facing<br />
gardeners in East Anglia.<br />
Entries were up on last year .There<br />
were some beautiful dahlias (one<br />
child enquired were they real?), the<br />
onions and leeks were magnificent<br />
and the tomatoes added to the colour.<br />
Trophies were awarded as follows:<br />
The Hull Memorial Cup for most<br />
points in the vegetable classes was<br />
won by Joe Cook with 33 points.<br />
The Enos Rose Bowl for most<br />
points in the General Flowers<br />
classes was awarded to Norman<br />
Crowder with 21 points.<br />
The Jackson Ball Cup for most<br />
points in the Chrysanthemum<br />
classes went to Deborah Farthing<br />
3 points.<br />
We were short of chrysanthemums<br />
this year, probably due to weather.<br />
The Willis Cup awarded for most<br />
points in the Dahlia classes was<br />
also won by Deborah Farthing.<br />

for most points in the Floral Art was<br />
