Like tho Wellington Rose and Carnation Club, with its exhibition last week, the Hutt flower show, which was opened at the Hutt yesterday afternoon, suffered from the exceedingly boisterous weather that has been raging for some time past, and, in consequence, the flowers could hardly be expected to present their best appearance. Roses were, of course, tho prevailing flowers, being a rose show, but there were, nevertheless, some good specimens of rhododendrons, irises, and flowering plants. Of tho latter kind, tho climbing lily, belonging to Mr. Chapman, was particularly noticeable. It was of a deep, brilliant tangerine, like tho tigor lily m shape, only somewhat smaller. Somegood gloxineas 'were shown by Mr. T. Waugh (nurseryman), amongst a large collection of foliage, pot plants tearing names that were absolutely overwhelming in length and difficulties in (ho way of spelling. Chief among the roses was tho "Mildred Grant,'' exhibited by' Mr. C. Trevethick, the president of tho club, a roue that was pronounced the best in tho show. It was a very largo one, white, with the most delicate blush in tho centre of it. Another feature of the show were the decorative effects, somo of the bowls of roses being most admirable. Among those present wero: Mr?. TVilford, wearing a dull saxo bluo coat and skirt trimmed with embroidery, and largo dull blue bat. with flowers and ospre.v plumes; Mrs. Trevethick, the president's wife, in a blue frock, relieved with cream lace, and a black toque with white touches; Mrs. Collins, Mrs. .T.
