EXOUISITE BLOOMS

FLOWER SHOW AT HAWERA ST. MARY'S CHURCH EYENT Blooms of exquisite beauty in the cut flower section, and decorative work of a standard rarely equalled are features of the annual flower show of St. Mary's Anglican Church. JHawera. The show, which will be continued to-day, attracted a large attendance at both sessions yesterday, a large number of stalls doing brisk business in aid of church funds. An outstanding feature of the show was the splendid work in the decorative section, the judge. Mrs. H. T. Lovell, making special reference to the work m the children's classes, and in particular to the 22 entries in the class for decorated saucer on wet sand. She had judged at a great many shows between New Plymouth and Wanganui, but she had never seen such exquisite detail or a more perfect blending of colours than on this occasion. ■ Many equal first and second places were awarded because in her opinion there were so many entries of equal merit. Adults could not have achieved the wealth of detail that was brought out by tiny fingers in lacy patterns. Champion Bloom. The champion bloom in the daffodil section was an Administrator bi-colour long trumpet exhibited by Mr. F. A. Quin which the judge, Mr, C. Goodson, considered to be an outstanding bloom because of its evenness of texture and deflnitely marked characteristics. It was unfortunate, he said. that the show came so late in the bulb season which was now nearing the end, so that the awards were confined to three exhibitors who had large garden stocks to draw from. In welcoming Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Clapham as the Mayor and Mayoress of Hawera he did so with added pleasure because they were fellow church members and the. Clapham family took a considerahle interest in the activities of the church, said the vicar, Canon D. B. Malcolm. He thanked the secretary, Mrs. R. Campbell, and Mr. J. M. Townsend. the judges, stewards and stall-holders for the part they played in ensuring the success of the show. He also referred to the splendid work of Miss E. Caplen, who was secretary for many years. Congratulating all on the splendid show presented, Mr. Clapham paid a tribute ko the outstanding work of the children in the decorative classes. Their work was wonderful and was one of the most impressive sections of the show. He wished the venture every success. Bouquets were presented to Mesdames Clapham and Campbell by Mrs. Malcolm.
