LEVIN ROSE SHOW

The effect of the inclement spring •weather was reflected in fewer entries than ■usual, but Horowhenua maintained its reputation as the flower garden -of New Zealand. A pleasing feature was the increased interest taken by the younger generation, the entries in their sections being a record. Rain badly affected the attendance.
