HORTICULTURAL SHOW.

ANGLICAN CHURCH EFFORT Highly-successful Exhibition. A very successful horticultui-al and industrial exhibition, organised by the Putaruru Anglican Church, was held in the public hall last Friday. Despite the boisterous weather experienced lately there was a splendid showing of blooms and vegetables, while the industrial and children’s sections were also favourably commented on by those present. Much credit for the success of the show is due' to Miss Rolfe, who ably filled the office of secretary.
