AMATEURS AND PROFESSIONALS.
[To The Editor.']
Sir, — The definition of an "amateur" by the. Masterton Horticultural and Industrial Society is too funny
for words. Just fancy a man who wishes to compete at a horticultural show as an amateur being debarred ! from employing labour in liis garden! If I get a man to prune my gooseberry bushes, I cannot show turnips or pumpkins which I have grown by my own labour. I suppose, also, if I get my lawn trimmed or my hedge cut by outside labour, I become a "professional." Yes, sir, it is too funny.— I am, etc., WOULD-BE AMATEUR.
