FLOWER SHOWS.

RICCARTON HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. The Riccarton Horticultural Society hold its* annual flower show at tho Riccarton Racecourse yesterday. Tho Bhow was well arranged, and' reflected great credit upon tho members of the committee and Mrs Lewis Wilson, the energetic secretary, who were responsible, for its organisation. Tho entries were not so numerous as was ' the case Inst year, due rnaiiily to tlie fact that several 1 former prominent exhibitors have left the district. The standard of the flowers was-good, and the vegetables shown were of excellent sizo and quality. Mrs George Rhodes was the principal oxhibitor, and earned off a largo number, of awards. lho. new Teschcmaker Cup was" awarded to this exhibitor, the last cup having been won outright by Mm E. F. Stead at- the 1920 show. A feature if thi9'year> show Ttfas tho display of outdoor-grown flowers staged by Mr J..G. S.
