FLOWER SHOW.

SUMNER-REDCLIFFS. The fourth Annual Show of the SnnmerRedcliffs Horticultural Society was held in the Town Hall yesterday afternoon, when nearly eight hundred exhibits were staged. There was a very fine display of roses, pelargoniums, daisies, geraniums, and flowering shrubs, while tlft decorative exhibits and display of Stocks were of outstanding merit. The vegetables shown formed a good class, while the special classes for senior and junior children were well Patronised, aud produced some surprising res , u J' s - The Sumner Queen Rose Competition drev only a small entry;-the cup prescnted by .Mr C, M. Roswell being won for the first time by Mr T. E. Whitfield. The cup presented br Mr \V. G. Black, to the competitor winning most points in the local ania'enr class for cut flowers was won also, for the first time by Mr T. E. AVlutfie d, with thirteen firsts and three seconds; Mrs V E. Hamil ton being runner-up. The Holmes Cup, for eighteen distinct varieties of roses, was won bv Mr J. D. Kdmonds, of Redcliffs. In asking the Mayor to open the Show, the president of the Society, Mr _A. O. Wilson, expressed his pleasure nt seeing bo many present* and commended the residents for their interest in the display, and in preparing the exhibits. Gardening not only was a profitable occupation, but it was also a healthy hobby, and redounded to the credit of the community. The Hon. J. Barr. referred to the presence of the president, who now lived at Cashmere. He had taken ta great interest in the launching of the Society, and thev wished he would be president for^ many veors. Starting with two hundred and fifty exhibits four years ago, the Society had continued to flourish, and but for the rain spoiling vegetables and roses, would have, this year, constituted a record. The general quality of the exhibits was, on tho whole, superior to that of last year. The Society was out to encourage amateur gardeners, and he urged those who had not exhibited before to enter the special class next year. Ho wanted to see the exhibitors prove that the hall was too small. He congratulated those who had worked so hard to produce such beautiful exhibits, and asked those present to accord their appreciation of the work done by the officers of the Society, particularly the secretary, Mr C. M. Roswell, and also that done by the judges, by a hearty round of applause. The' following is the prize-list:— Vegetables, Fruit, and Produce.
