At the Flower Show, j Tho flowers yesterday tit the show wer« i wonderfully .fine, the • carnations being | exceptional in their colour and size,-and" indeed they were sotno of the best tlint havo been shown in Wellington. There was such a bewildering mass of beauty nnd colour that it was hard to find adjectives to express their many perfections. The sweet peas alone, in their infinite variety of colour and form, will long ; hold a pines in the mind, and especially tho exhibit shown by Mr. Treyothiclc. This occupied a table in the centre of the hall, ami consisted of a ccntre piece in the shape of an arch, of Henry Lekfords, surrounded on all sides with tall vases of peas of harmonising shades. Tho whole effect was most artistic, and had tho merit of showing of! the flowers to the best advantage. The carnations occupied tables to the left of tho sweet peas, and thesa in their colour and shape were .very beautiful. It is rathor late in the year for Toses, but those shown were very fino of their kiild, ,but of course not to be compared with tlwse that wore seen at the last rose show on November 12.- The I ladies' decorated tables wero quite a feature of tho room,'and one or two adorned with Iceland poppies, in their harmonising shades of. -white, tangerine,' and yellow, wero veTy lovely. Lady Liverpool, who was received by the president, Mr. llarcourt, and his daughter, after formally opening the show, remarked upon the pleasure it had given her to tee so many beautiful gardens since slid had been in New Zealand, and especially in Wellington, where tho garden sjiaco was so limited.
