CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW

FINE QUALITY OF

EXHIBITS

EXCELLENT DISPLAY OF

SINGLE BLOOMS

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY’S

ANNUAL COMPETITION

The high quality of the single chrysanthemums was the outstanding feature of the annual chrysanthemum show of the Canterbury Horticultural Society at the Caledonian Hall yesterday afternoon. Chrysanthemums naturally were the main exhibits at the show; but because of the wet weather the standard of the double variety was not quite as high as usual. Th 3 slightly lower standard there was more than compensated for by the excellent quality of the single blooms. Another outstanding section was the entry of fruit. The judge stated that he had not previously seen a display comparable In quality. The excellence of the entry seemed to augur well for the future of Canterbury as an appleexporting district. There was not a weak tray entered in any of the classes, whereas at some shows and in earlier years it had been hard to find a really good tray. In the vegetable section there was another good display, although the ravages of the white butterfly had almost entirely prevented entries being made in classes for vegetables of the cabbage family. There were, however. very good entries in the potato and onion classes. Every class of fruit, flower, and vegetable was represented at the show, and the general standard was particularly good. The decorative work was of a very high order, and it was enhanced by the effective manner in which the whole show was staged. Two exhibits were used in the decoration of the hall. On the stage there was an attractive bank of seedling single chrysanthemums from the gardens of the Hon. Sir R. Heaton Rhodes, and the rear of the hall was masked by a wellarranged display of pot plants, ferns, and palms by Mr A. V. Gibson. The show was officially opened by the Hon. Sir R. Heaton Rhodes, who said that in view of the recent weather the display was very creditable indeed. Sir Heaton regretted the absence from the opening of the Mayor, Mr John Beanland. who is in Invercargill. Mr Beanland had always been of great assistance to the society, said Sir Heaton, and members much regretted that in his last few weeks as Mayor he could not attend the 1933 The chrysanthemums at the show were praised by Sir Heaton, who said that they would show what could oc achieved by specialisation, and he paid, 100, a special tribute to the quality of the fruit exhibited. Entries for the show showed a decrease on last year, attributed by the officials to the unfavourable weather recently. However, in the most important sections, the open and amateur chrysanthemum classes, satisfactory increases were shown on last year in spite of the weather.
