F γ-owkh Snow ("Amateur"). —As far as I am a ware at the present time there is to be no general flower show this autumn. The Chrysanthemum Society will hold their annual floral exhibition during April, but this exhibition will be . almost entirely devoted to the chrysanthemum. There is no Committee or Society in existence at the present, time for carrying on general horticultural work iv Auckland, which is a great pity.
