Waimana Gardening Circle Meeting
The January meeting of the Waimana W.I. Gardening Circle was held at Mrs H. Whiteman’s home, and there was quite a good attendance of members and visitors. Mrs Wylde presided. Mrs R'. Looney gave a most interesting reading on “Grass,” and its many uses, and its great value. A competition arranged by Mrs Whiteman, estimating the number of buttons in a jar, was won by Mrs J. Mitchell, Mrs S| Eagle 2 and Mrs J. King (Whakatane) 3. Each received a packet of flower seeds as prizes. The day’s competitions drew good entries, with the following results: Best flower: Mrs Hewitt 1, Mrs Whiteman 2, Mrs Mitchell 3. Best vegetable: Mrs Whiteman 1, Mrs Hewitt 2, Mrs Mitchell 3. Bowl of flowers, high, for effect: Mrs Hewitt 1, Mrs Whiteman 2, Mrs Mitchell 3.
After afternoon tea, members could only admire the pretty garden from the windows, as heavy rain was falling.
Mrs Wylde thanked the hostesses, judges and Mrs Whiteman for. the pleasant afternoon.
