SPRING FLOWERS

BALGUITHA ANNUAL SHOW JTTioii Our Correspokdest.] The annua] spring flower and industrial show unuer the auspices of the Balclutha Horticultural Society was held in the Britannia Theatre yes ter day, and was a great success. The quality of the blooms was good, particularly the hyacinths, violas, narcissi, and flowering shrubs. Visitors from the north expressed surprise at the variety and quality, and said that the blooms were much ahead of anything seen so far. In the industrial section there was, some really beautiful work, and the judges had a hard task in adjudicating. Especially was this so in the class for boys by women’s institutes and W.D.E.U., ami the four on view caused much favourable comment. The variety am! quality were excellent, and said much lor the industry of the members of those organisations. In the open classes competition was good, and here again the quality and fineness of the work were of such a high standard that the judges found it hard to separate the winners.
