FLOWER SHOW.

; SUMNER-REDCLIFFS. i The third annual show of the Sumner- . Redcliffs Horticultural Society was held in i the Sumner Town Hall yesterday, when over 900 exhibits were staged, the display of roses and cut flowers being exceptionally , fine, while the large number of children's . exhibits contributed in no small manner to • the success of the show. The Sumner . Queen Rose competition .again produced a , large number of beautiful blooms, and the handsome silver enp for the senior place now becomes the property of Mr T. E. Whitfield, ho 'having- won it two years in succession. Mr J. G. S. Holmes won the opsn class for the twelve best rosea, and by repeating last year's performance, he also secures, as his own property, the handsome silver cup presented by Mr W. G. Black. Attractivo features, for exhibition only, were the displays' mad© by n. number-of Cashmere amateurs, Amongst them was an exhibit by Mr J. S. .nawkes, consisting of high class polyanthus, climbing roses, and pansies. Dr. Levinge displayed a fine collection of cut flowers, some of which were new and rare to Sumner. Mrs J. H. Stringer exhibited a beau* tiful collection of roses, while Mr J. BrinkI man Sad « magnificent display of Gerbera Jamesonsi (South African Daisies). These were equal to the very best in qriality that can be grown in New Zealand, while his display of trea strawberries attracted very . favourable attention. Mrs A. C. Wilson had an exceptionally fine exhibit of twelve varieties of cut flowers, while Mr ShaSik's display of stocks and pansies was' much admired. Tho show was opened by the Mayor (the ' Hon. J. Ban, M.L.C.), who congratulated the Society upon its fine display. Referring to the remarkable growth of the show, he said- that starting three year.? ago with 280 entries, it increased in the eecond year, 700 entries, while this year the 900 entries constituted • a record for the province.
