PARAPARAUMU SHOW.

ANOTHER FINE DISPLAY. Tito Paraparnumu and District Horticultural and Industrial Society is deserving of the heartiest congratulations for the show held in the Coronation Hall on Wednesday. All arrangements —thanks to the capable secretary (Mr t T. G. Maclean) and energetic assistants —were very complete, the attendance was large, while more than usual interest was evinced in the display. The Karcissi class was a particularly pleasing one as i'ar as choice blooms were concerned, but, unfortunately, there was no competition. Mr A. H, Burgess. of Waikanae, "scooping the pool."

Among his blooms were tome line ones ri Lord Kitchener, Neptune, Noble, j Wonderland, Lord Roberts, Bernadiuo . and Southern Gem, The amateur class was not only a splendid one. but a strong one, and many excellent blooms were displavcd. A iiiagiiilicenl bloom „',- |.o,d Roberts, shown by Master .T. I'ickl. proved to be the champion in trumpets, while Mr H. Wilclu'U showed a lovely bloom of Leedsii seedling with i lurge pink cup which was greatly mi mired. II was » feature of the show., T]l , ;.:,„, .rroim was also successful with other exhibits, in fuel Otaki growers were much to the fore in this class, Messrs Summers. Brainier, Small, and Broadway practically carrying oft: all prizes. The latter tailed to stage a number of his blooms owing to their l at c arrival at the hall. Mr W. J. Summers exhibited a line collection, am i in his class of twelve his fine Fleet-) wing was freely admired. Other fine blooms "ere Noble, Lord Kitchener, mid Beruadino. Mr G. Bromley's display of Duke of Bedford, Bcrnadino, and Lemon Queen was a fine one. while Mr A. W. Broadway's choicest blooms v.eie line samples of Macbeaver, and Croesus. Messrs H. Small. A. Hard Lain, and D. I:'. Howell also seemed arizes with choice blooms.

The pot plant section was not ■■ large one, but still there wen; nice exhibits, Sl , nu . attracting considerable attention. The cut bloom class was strongly contested, and the displays of polyanthus antirrhinums, pe ■ -'-•■. hyacinth* ami anemones ■• Vc " ■ n The vegetabh ' -- ' '- *»> : ' M ,rv »eud, the quality of the exhibit*, bei.ig excellent. The domestic section was also a pleasing one, the display being above previous years, while the quality was fine. Jams, jellies, etc., made a nice di play, while the heaviest, egg.- elicited much attention, the first twelve weighing no less than lib 1-IoZ. There were (ivc entries and not one lot weighed under lib' lloz. The children's section was better than usual, while numerically the entries were large. There was keen competition. In all classes the entries totalled over COO, which i.: much above previous year . The judge, and other, wish to particularly thank the Misses Maclean for their great hospitality in catering for the wants of visitors, all of whom were entertained at a fine luncheon in the Sunday school-room. Mrs W. J. Howell also entertained a number in the cvi uiu":.

Beautiful blooms were displayed at the Hutt Show on Wednesday, and it is pleasing to record that Otaki growers were among the chief prize-takers. Among the exhibits the narcissi and i daffodils were, of course, of prjgmry interest, and the collection showu by H. J. Poole, who was a large prize-winner in this class, was a wonderful display:

while, individually, some of the blooms were marvellous for size and regularity. The two champion blooms were among his collection —"Buxted," a pale yellow trumpet daffodil, and "Silver! Plane." a non-trumpet, with "bite petals and short yellow centre. Among the amateurs Mr Small (Ota-1 ki) carried off the champion with "Croesus," a pale cream with deep' orange centre. This variety of narcissi j was much seen in both sections, and. "Sealing Wax" was one now to many. having a very dark tangerine centre. j ] Some of the amateur exhibitors show- , j ed blooms little short of the profession: j I als for size and variety, notably Mr . | Reynolds (Otaki). who won the trophy I (presented by professional men, tradespeople and citizens Of Lower Hutt) I with a fine collection. This was won j for the first time, being a new trophy. Following are the names of the exI hibits staged by Mr Reynolds:—Mr H. I Witchell (seedling). Mrs G. Marlcy , (seedlinK).

Bernadino. Lord Roberts. King Alfred. Lvndhurst Gem. 'Buttercup. Scarlet Gem. Van Waving Giant. Weldale Perfection, Gertie. Gloria Mundi, Lucifer. Southern Jem. Triumph. Mr A. H. Burgess (Waikanae) war. also a ■pri;s-winner.
