A dahlia grown by Airs. Beattie secured, almost the maximum points. In the fruit and vegetable section some fine apples, passion fruit etc. were to: lie seen and the vegetables were of a high order. The most outstanding' exhibit as Air. D. AlcAf.illan’s bowl of very fine seedling dahlias. The judges for the evening were Airs. Stuart and Air. C. Reid. The next quarterly show will be held in the Parish Hall early in May.
