SPRING. FLOWER SHOW.

In the horticultural exhibition alone patrons were rewarded by witness*ing a floral collection-of great beauty: an outstanding achievement by the enterprising ladies who organised it. The tasteful staging was worthy of the general excellence of the whole exhibit, m which the decorative class., sprays and float howls drew spontaneous admiration. The champion bloom came from the narcissus section,' in which a perfect specimen exhibited by Mrs Turnbull won the challenge bowl presented by Mrs J.
