SPRING BLOOMS.

DISPLAY AT ART GALLERY. COMBINED FLOWER SHOW. A blaze of colour from thousands of gorgeous blooms filled the Art Gallery yesterday, when the third annual South Island show of the National Daffodil Society of New Zealand, held in conjunction with the Canterbury Horticultural Society's show, was opened br Sir R. Heaton Rhodes, M.L.C. Both halls were filled with exhibits, and many visitors expressed the opinion that the show was one of the finest held in Christchurch for many years. Entries were from all over the North and South Islands, and the whole presented a sight to be remembered. There were the dull gold of the ordinary daffodil and the finer shades of other varieties in mass, the products of the Dominion's best gardening skill. A great number of the exhibits were "for exhibition only" and the collection of narcissi, from Sir Heaton Rhodes, of Otahuna, was undoubtedly the finest thaf the walls of the Art Gallery have ever held, for it occupies the whole of one wall in the main hall. There is great variety in the show. Mrs M. Poison, of Shirley, displays a model rockery, and Mr Orton Bradley, of Charteris Bay, has a splendid collection of wattles and acacias. lincluded in his section are grape-fruit and tree tomatoes. Hardy shrubs, including many Australian flowering varieties, are to be seen, and a striking display of potplants, by Mr James Young, Curator of the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, catches and holds the eye. Another excellent exhibit is the collection of cyclamens by Colonel J. Studholme. Entries for the narcissi classes have come from Dunedin, Oamaru, Wellington, and Hawera, and they comprise the best section on the eormpetitive side. The decorative and vegetable sections, too, command notice. Throughout the afternoon the Art Gallery was thronged by enthusiasts and further opportunities of seeing the displays will be afforded today and to-morrow. Sir Heaton Rhodes, in opening the show, said that the general public watched for the daffodil as the herald of spring. It was a matter for regret that seasonal conditions precluded two of the cups from being competed for this year. The season was late and the continual wet weather had been the cause of lack of entries in the classes referred to. Sir Heaton welcomed competitors from the North Island, and congratulated Mr Poole on winning the handsome trophy given to the New Zealand Daffodil Society by the growers at Home. He welcomed also Mr Guy Wilson, who was a very noted daffodil grower and a successful raiser of seedlings. All Christchurch growers hoped that he would again visit the City, and also that- he would inform the growers at Home of what was being "done in New Zealand.

Mr Guy Wilson also spoke,. expressing his keen interest in the displays. Sir Heaton Rhodes then presented the following trophies:—British Raisers' trophy, H. J. Poole (Lower Hutt); Australian Growers' Trophy, A. G. Bull (Christchurch); the Rhodes Silver Challenge Cup, for New Zealand seedlings, W. G. C. Beumelburg (Christchurch); New Zealand Seedlings Challenge Cup, J. T. Gray (Dunedin); trophy for 12 varieties of daffodils, A. G. Bull 1, J. T. Gray 2; trophy for six varieties of daffodils, red cups, A. G. Bull; trophy for nine varieties of daffodils, W. Balch (Christchurch). Most points in the cup flowers section were secured by MJjss R. Billens, >*i& in the notices' classes fry W.lßieL

The New Zealand Institute of Horticulture Challenge Cup, for any exhibit, competitive or otherwise, specially meriting it for a distinct advance in species, in cultivation or any other" direction, went to Sir Heaton Ehodes (head gardener, A. K. Wilson). Judges' Opinions. The judges were:—National Daffodil Society's sections, Mr Guy Wilson; daffodils, Mr H. Poole, jun. (Lower Hutt); cut flowers, pot plants and vegetables, Mr W. J. Humm; decorative, Mrs J. H. Robinson. Commenting on the display in the daffodil section, the judge, Mr Guy Wilson, of London, said that the class for the British Challenge Cup (daffodils raised in the British Isles, and grown in New Zealand) proved to be an exceedingly interesting one. Mr H. Poole, the winner, presented a fine collection of well-chosen and well-grown flowers. In fact, some of the blooms were even better than he had seen at Home, principally the Yellow Poppy—an exquisite Yellow Incomparabilis, and a Silver Dawn —a giant Leedsii. Also in the group were three flowers of the peerless white trumpet, Beersbeba. This variety however, was grown much finer and larger in England, and the New Zealand specimen was not up to its best form. But there was little doubt that it would be much better after a longer term of acclimatisation in the Dominion. The blooms of the Leedsii Mitylene, also, were not good examples of that particular flower at its best. In the second prize group there were three beautiful examples of the bi-colour Maharajah. It was obvious, said Mr Wilson, that some very fine varieties of seedlings were being produced in Australia, tor he found much to interest him in the class for Australian-raised seedlings for the challenge cup presented by the Australian growers. The winner, Aussie, was a large yellow trumpet of splendid carriage, excellent form, substance, and quality, and it was considered to be the outstanding trumpet bloom of the show. Of splendid build, also, was the Aus" tralian-raised seedling, Renown 11. which possessed a particularly fine perianth. There was strong competition in the class for twelve seedlings raised in New Zealand, said Mr Wilson. There were six competitors, and it was a matter of considerable difficulty to judge five of them. The points awarded were very close—42, 425, 42, 42, and 41. It was quite obvious that excellent work was being done by New Zealand hybridists, and there were some really beautiful flowers contained in the seedlings. Captain was an exceedingly attractive Incomparabilis with a shapely yellow perianth, and a nicely-reflexed orange crown. Mr Goodson's Flash Lightning, it seemed, gave promise of being a first-rate market flower It had brilliant colour and was equipped with a long stem. His Oceaned was one of the best Triandrus Leedsii that he had ever seen, and No. 22 was a remarkably frilled bi-colour, with a trumpet of pale, creamy pink. Considered by the judge, Mr W J Humm, to be the finest collection of the cut shrubs he has ever seen, a displav by Mrs Ivory in the flowering shrub section attracted much notice. Shrubs native of Africa, China, Peru North America, and Australia were'included in the colourful array. List of Awards.
