APPEAL TO GARDEN LOVERS
An appeal has been sent out on behalf of Hawke's Bay gardens destroyed by the recent floods. ; The organiser of the 'movement is Miss Matthews, of the staff of the Napier Post Office, who, with a barid_of 300 workers, seeks to restore the gardens of Hawke's Bay to their former beauty. The appeal was made last evening to the Hutt Valley Horticultural Society, which, decided to respond by sending flowering plants. Mr. W. Smith. Waterloo Road, Lower Hutt, volunteered to supply 150 plants from his ottn garden and also to pack and dispatch others which were left at his home. The president of the society, Mr. J. S Barton, said that when he acted as commissioner for Napier he was struck with the enthusiasm of Napier people for gardening. At that time! they had an organisation for sending plants out from Napier and it would be a very nice gesture now if people outside Napier sent plants back to Napier. Mr. Smith asked members to bring gifts of plants to the meeting of the Garden Circle in the hall next Monday.
