MIRAMAR SHOW

The fertility and productivity of the Watts Peninsula received a splendid advertisement at the mimmer show of the Miramar Horticultural Society, which was held in the Miramar South School ou Saturday afternoon and evening. In the ilowor sections some very fine blooms were exhibited, the champion rose, a Una Wallace, shown by Mr. J. Bell, being an excellent specimen. In the other classes the exhibits were also well up to standard. Although the entries in some of the classes were disappointing, the competition generally was keen, and in many cases the judges had difficulty in making the awards. Taken as a whole, the entries were in keeping with those of former years, and thanks to the work of the committee headed by the secretary (Mr. I{. W. Millar), the show was a complete success There were good .attendances, both in the afternoon and evening, the show being opened by Mr. R. Semple, M.P., who congratulated the society on such a fine array of. exhibits. The music was supplied by the Miramar Silver F-and. The following is a detailed list of the results:—ROSES.
