GLADIOLI ANI) DAHLIAS. A BRIGHT DISPLAY. Considering the dry season, the show of blooms at tho Canterbury Horticultural Society's Show, which opened at tho Art Gallery yesterday, is remarkably good. Tho show is comprised chiefly of gladioli and dahlias, and outstanding among tho other blooms is an entry of sweet peas from Dunedin and an exhibition of hydrangeas by Mrs K. F. Stead, of Riccarton. Outstanding in tho dahlia section is au exhibition of Mr V. ,1. Lnng, of Papanui. The- entries in the gladiolus section is undoubtedly the best that has appeared in C'hristchurch, and altogether the blooms, which arc well arranged, make a bright display. Tho fruit and vegetable sections are also well contested, and the quality of these speaks well for tho attention given to them.
