STIRLING FLOWER SHOW

A SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION The annual show under the auspices of the Stirling Horticultural Society was held in the Presbyterian Church Hall yesterday, and, considering the dry weather experienced, was a very fine exhibition. The attendance was excellent. Vegetables were very good, marrows, rhubarb, potatoes, and onions being features. In the flower sections dahlias, asters, and gladioli were to the fore, while the zinnias were really excellent, Fruit made' a good display, although competition was limited. Baking was not as strong as usual, but the quality was good. Needlework and industrial classes were of _ a high standard. and competition in the photography classes was very keen. Entries generally were good, and some very fine collections of flowers were staged. The committee, with Mr S. Willocks as president and Mr T. Tnglis as secretary, had arrangements well in hand, and the staging arrangements were admirable. The judges were:—Baking and decorative, Mrs P. Mason (Balclutha); industrial, Miss I.
