ROSE WEEK.
FIELD DAY TO-MORROW. PARNELL PARK DISPLAY. A field day at the Parnell Park ro«€ jrarden to-morrow afternoon will open a special rose week to be held by the Auckland Horticultural Society in conjunction with the National Rose Society of New Zealand. The object is to stimulate public interest in rose cultivation, and a special effort is to be made by members of the organising society to provide information about the plants. The members will wear distinguishing badges and will endeavour to answer all questions pertaining to the cultivation of roses. One of the finest eights yet seen at the park is the show of roses now on display. The garden is in wonderful condition. So popular hafl it become that the City Council is bringing an additional area into cultivation. On Monday niirht a lecture will be given by Mr. F. Penn to members of both societies and their friends.
The annual rose show of the Auckland Horticultural Society will be held on Thursday and Friday in a large marquee on the lawn to the right of the entrance of the Auckland railway station.
