HORTICULTURAL SHOW

RAHWAY fiARDEWW CLUB The winter show of the Railway Gardening Club was held in the social hall at the Hillside Workshops yesterday. As Was to be expected, the chrysanthemums were a feature of the show, and the standard generally which was reached in this; section was particularly ■ high. The judge commented that, while the single flowering chrysanthemums were hardly, as good as might bo expected, the Japanese classes were filled with flowers *that would hare been quite , good enough to display in the biggest shows in the city. The exhibit of vegetables also attracted a good deal of attention. They were well staged, and had been brought forward in fine shape. Perhaps the_ outstanding classes were those for onions, King Edward potatoes, parsnips, and carrots. In the industrial sections the standard was oommendably high, and the competition keen. The award for the- premier bloom in the show went to Mr S. Tonkin with: Anadinath Ghosh. The following: are the prise win- ■■ .-nere:— ■ ~■■■■; ■ FLOWERING AND FOLIAGE PLANTS. Judge: Mr' S. G.< Page.
