FITZROY FLOWER SHOW

KNOX CHURCH EFFORT A SPLENDID SUCCESS. FINE DISPLAY OF BLOOMS. A striking array of spring blooms was on view at the Fifzroy Hall, on Saturday afternoon, on the occasion of the annual Flower Show. The cut flowers and decorative classes received good entries and the quality of the blooms exhibited was of the highest standard. Amongst the many classes on view the cooking and needlework attracted especially good entries. The qualify of the needlework section in particular, was most favourably commented upon by the judge. The total entries for the show numbered well over 800. A fine display of cut flowers was made by Mr. F. J. Morshead, while Mr. C. IL Crocker had a neat display of roses. A large crowd visited the show during the afternoon. The Caledonian Society’s Pipe Band, which played from the Fitzroy Pest Office to the hall, rendered items during the afternoon. The stalls were in charge of the following:— Cake stall. —Mesdames Harlow and Buttimore. Sweets and cordial stall. —Miss AL Rea and helpers. Flower stall. —Mrs. Mail and helpers. The following officiated as judges.— Flowers, Mr. Morehead; produce, Mr. G. V. Tate (Waitara); cooking, Miss Finlayson; fancy work, Mrs. Blackley; decorative classes, Mrs. Gavey; home industries, Mrs. Dockrill. Credit for much of the success that attended the show must be given the secretary (Miss J. D. Taylor), whose untiring efforts are worthy of all praise. Mr. C. E. Bellringer, M.P., who was introduced by tin Rev. J. D. Wilson, opened the show. He said that it gave him great pleasure to officiate at such a fine show. It reflected great credit on the secretary, committee and all those connected with it. For a number of years people had said that it was impossible to grow roses in Taranaki, but the magnificent blooms exhibited there that afternoon definitely disproved this statement. He had been associated with horticultural societies for a number of years and he could truthfully say that he had very seldom seen anything finer. In the evening Mr. Bellringer distributed the prizes. During the evening the Regimental Band rendered several items. The following is the prize list:— ROSES. . Class 1 (white). —Miss F.
