CHOICE FLOWERS

MASTERTON HORTICULTURAL SHOW GAY DISPLAY IN MUNICIPAL HALL. LUPINS AND IRIDES OUTSTANDING Magnificent lupins, choice bearded irises and exquisite sand posies are outstanding features at today's Spring Show of the Masterton Horticultural Society. Other flowers are represented by a profusion of beautiful blooms that would be the envy of any gardener. The entries total over 500 and show a slight increase over last year's entries. The show is being officially opened this afternoon by Mr J. Robertson, M.P. Excellent entries were forthcoming in the two classes in the sketching section, there being no less than 39 exhibits, which were greatly admired. This is the first time sketching exhibits have been included in the show and judging by their popularity they should become a permanent feature. Much interest centres around a floral carpet made by members of the garden circle of the Ranfurly Club. All agree that it is a wonderful piece of work which has entailed the use with distinctive decorative success, of some thousands of flowers. In the opinion of many people the floral I carpet alone is well worth a visit to j the show. The champion rose was exhibited by Miss C. Gray. ■ Special prizes were won by the following:—Most points roses (open). Mrs B. Booth: most points sweet peas (open), Lady Perry; most points poppies, Mrs A. H. Eddy' and Mrs Scharnweber, equal; James Allen Memorial Cup (collection of cut flowers). Mrs B. V. Skeet; most points decorative, Mrs H. K. Mclntosh: most points vegetables (open).
