The growing season had on the whole been favourable, the cool sunless weather with a medium temperature would have been ideal but for a few nights of very keen frosts. The Show was one of the best ever seen this was the unanimous opinion of all the growers.
Mr Needham won the cup with a fine Stand of 9 blooms. The Mayor of Wakefield presenting the cup to him. This ceremony was photographed and a pictorial record made, marking a fresh development in the history of the Society being the 1st time this has been done. The vases of tulips down the centre of the table was a pronounced success. The full list of prizes is appended in the reprint from the Wakefield Express.
