FLOWER SHOW.

GOOD DISPLAY AT GERALDINE. In the Parish Hall, Geraldine, yesterday afternoon i\'as opened the Summer Show of the Geraldine Horticultural Society, and an excellent display it -was. Cut flowers included some beautiful roses, and a very fine collection of sweet reas, while Mr Smith, of Temuka, sent a glorious collection of gladioli, the colours ranging from white and yellow to almost black. Carnations, slocks, lijies, poppies, nasturtiums, verbenas, pansies, dahlias, phlox, and Sweet William, antirrhiniums, petunias, geraniums, and other flowers made a splendid display, which would have been more effective if there had been greater room. The bunches of cut flowers were very good, and the fruit, which was excellent. included apples, peaches, plums, red, white, and black currants, strawberries, raspberries, and gooseberries. At these shows the vegetables aro always excellent, and yesterday's display was quite up to the high standard. In addition to potatoes there were cabbages and cauliflowers, peas, and beans, cucumbers, beet, lettuce, onions, carrots, parsnips, and turnips, tomatoes, and rhubarb. The table decorations and bouquets! etc., displayed taste, and the home industries section, produce, cookery, and children's classes gave the judges a good deal of trouble in making their selections.
