Vcrv attractive were many of the exhibits in the decorative sections at the Canterbury Horticultural Society's Sweet Pea and Carnation Show yesterday. Mrs J. Mav. well known as an exhibitor at- local shows, secured fust prize in the dinner-table decoration. Her table was done with faint pink sweet peas, shading to lavender, with picotee edges, relief being given by a little maidenhair interspersed tvitb tbo llowors. Miss 11. Armstrong showed a keen appreciation of colour values in her table decoration, which was carried out in carnations of a deep crimson, and the peculiar shade of yellow, almost apricot, known to millinery experts as "Leitli."' A von* little wine-coloured foliage added to the beauty of the scheme. There were several other very pretty tables, but if one might be permitted to offer criticism of the entrants in this section, most of the decorative effect* were far too heavy to be of utihtv for dinnertable purposes. Tbe day of tbe solid opergno loaded with flowers is gone let us hope to return 110 more. Fashion docrees that nowadays dinner-table decorations shall be of a height that permits the diner to Ik? able to converse with, or, at least, to see, his vis-a-vis. To this end low. rather squat l>owl#. aio in demand for flowers; indeed, one of the most charming of decorations is contained in roses, clematis, or poppies floating oh top of a wide round bowl of artistic design. Certain i 1 is that judges in this class should take into consideration the utilitv as well as the beauty of tho decorations. There were some lovely bowls and vases of sweet peas and carnations shown, prize-winners in these sections including:—Mrs T. 11. Mooro, Mrs J. Faith Mrs J. May, Mi"s IT. Armstrong, and Mrs Crockett. The fact that there were three entries very biddy commended in, the one class showed how difficult must have been ihe task of the judges to decide on the winners. Very few women managed to secure nrizes in the cut-flower sections, but Miss IT. Armstrong bad a well-merited win with her three vases of carnation* in shades of scarlet, prunelle, and yellow.
