RECORD SHOW.

PAPANUI HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The Fapanui Horticultural Society staged a record Show in the Memorial Town Hall yesterday, there being between 500 and 600 entries. Tha outstanding feature was the display of gladioli. In this class the judges, Messrs J. Moodie and J. O. Josling, had a difficult task to decide the premier bloom. They awarded it to Mr E. E. Wilshire's mauvex. because of its colour, symmetry, and length of spike, but Mr E. Cooke's American Beauty and Mr A, Gallop's Gertrude Erry wero very close. An exhibition of pals cream and white gladioli seedlings oy Air J. Moodio was very fine. A good* display of vegetables wa3 benched, and the cooking classes attracted over 200 entries « high quality.
