. 0 . j DISPLAY AT GERALDINE. The annual Summer Show conducted by i the Gernldino HortieuJtural Society, held in the Town Hall on Wednesday afternoon, proved, in spite of tho dry season, one of the mont successful iu recent years, both, from tho point of view* of the number of entries and of quality. Thcro were 1530 exhibits, compared with 540 laat year. There wus a large . attendance both during the afternoon and evening. A word of praise is due to tho committee, under the president (Mr* W. T. Turner), who were responsible for tho success of the show. Tlve secretary (Mr Geo. Coombs) carried out his duties in. u very efficient manner. The best rose in the show was exhibited by Mr J. Rennie, his upe'cimcm of the "Ophelia" variety being of very good bloom and figure. Tho best spike of gladiolus was shown by Mr A. "V. Simmons (Geraldine), who showed a choico specimen of the ''Our' Selection" variety. The special prizo for the most points in tho vegetable classes (excluding potatoes) was won by Mr E. 31.
