SPRING FLOWERS.

DISPLAY AT HEATHCOTE. The weather for the last few weeks has been decidedly unfavourable for the growth of spring flowers and, considering this, the display at the Spring Show held in the Heathcote Club Hall on Saturday evening under tie auspices of St. Mary's Anglican Church was a very creditable one indeed. The premier bloom was shown by Mr Orton Bradley. In the cookery and sweets sections there was an excellent display, and the vegetable and domestic section drew good entries. Brisk business was done at the stalls, which were prettily dceorated. The officers were: —Chairman, the Rev. T. M. Curnow; president, Mrs Flavell; secretary and treasurer, Mr L. Salt; supervisors, Messrs W. Radcliffc and W. H. Hodgson.
