GLORIOUS DAHLIAS
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY’S SHOW
ADDRESS ON THE IRIS Many glorious dahlias were exhibited at the Auckland Horticultural Society's monthly display on Thursday evening. Mr. F. Walker presided. Mr. G. W. Wright told the history of the dahlia from the time of introduction into Europe. At the conclusion of the address, which was most interesting, he answered many questions, giving growers much useful information. A visitor from Canterbury, Mr. Low, gave an address on the cultivation of the iris which, he thought, was not generally grown in Auckland. Some people were ignorant of the correct methods of cultivation. Several of the varieties required a large amount of lime; others required none at all. Situation, said Mr. Low, was an important factor in the proper cultivation of the iris and the bulbs should not be lifted too frequently. The lecturers were accorded votes of thanks.
