ST. ANDREWS’ FLOWER SHOW.

| AND SPORTS. ' I A HUGE SUCCESS. § The Rose and Sweet Pea Show, held I under the auspices of St. Andrew’s I Church, took place in the Franklin [ !A. & P. Society’s Show Buildings on Friday and Saturday last. There' were large attendances at each session. Business was decidedly brisk fcftost of the time, and it is expected that the funds for the erection of &ie new church will be considerably augmented. On Friday afternoon the Show was officially opened by the Patron, the Mayor of Pukekohe (Mr John.Routiy)> who congratulated the promoters Oa the fine exhibition, and lipped the Show would be the success it deserved, as the object for which it l was held was a worthy one. He thought such a function was a fitting means to augment the funds of a .church. The exhibits were well displayed along the sides and down the centre of one of the big sheds, The flowers were a fine lot, and among them were some magnificent specimens. Mr E. Allan, of Buckland, had on exhibition some beautjful flowers. Among them were the Mrs \V. F. Massev, pure white sweet pea, the Lady Jellicoe, large size cream pink sweet pea, and the Henry Brett, a - fine “scarlet sweet pea. There was also a variety of the scarlet ti-tree, which was the only plant to get the ' only gold medal afc the great Inters national Show in London some years Mr Allan also had some firstclass rhododendrons on show: x

Mr Lippiatt, the well-known fiori- \ culturist, of Otahuhu. had on exhibition an exquisite’ lot of roses. Among them were the Queen Alexandra, which was one of the finest roses in the show. Mr Henry Brett, of Takapuna,. another noted, grower and lovef of flowers, * had on view some magnificent specimens, included among them weve scarlet gerberas (Trnasvaal daisy), carnations, with' extraordinarily long stems, delphiniums, calceolcaria, scabiosa cyclainen, and a number of other nice blooms. The entries in the flower section were fairly large, and compared favourably with the number received in previous years. There was a slight decrease in the vegetabes and cooking classes.
