TAIERI HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

AUTUMN SHOW There could be no two opinions about the flower gardens of Mosgiel and district when one surveyed tiio SOU odd exhibits on the tables in the Coronation Hall .yesterday afternoon and evening on tho occasion of tho autumn show or tiie local Horticultural Society. It was a delightful picture that met the eye—well worth a long journey to see. Every exhibit was attractively staged, and pleased the judges very much. Mr Donaldson (North-east \’ancy; judged the flowers and vegetables, Miss Turner (Dunedin) the decorative work, and Miss Tweed the preserves. The meal display was enhanced by special exhibitions. Amongst these were that of Messrs Donaldson Bros. (Leith Valley), who had a special exhibit of roses and gladioli. Mr Attwood (Sawyers Bay) had on exhibition an excellent stand of begonias, which was greatly admired. Miss Turner was well pleased with the decorative work, especially the tables and bowls. Tho committee controlling the nhow, with Mr Pilling (president) at its head and Miss Pearson as secretary, deserves a word of praise for the completeness of tho arrangements. The Taieri Pipe Band played a programme of music. Tho following is tho prize list;— POT PLANT'S. Flowering plant. Three entries.— Mrs M. Brown 1, Mrs E. Pilling 2. Petunia. Three entries.—A. W.
