FLOWER DISPLAY

COLOURFUL SCENE DAFFODIL VARIETIES CREDIT TO GISBORNE Congratulations on the colourful display of daffodils and spring flowers which greeted the visitor to the Army Hall yesterday and today were offered by the Mayor. Mr. N\ H. Bull, when officially opening the show yesterday afternoon and also by the many visitors. The occasion was the annual daffodil and spring flower show staged by the P.B. Horticultural Society. The flowers were a credit to the gardens of Gisborne, said Mr. Bull. A great deal of time and work had been spent in staging the show, but the display made this worth while. The Mayor referred to the Borough water scheme and assured those present that they would have more water for hosing their gardens in the summer iust as soon as it was possible to provide that water. He reminded his listeners that although the main water scheme was almost complete there was still only a small pipe-line to bring that water to town. Display of Seedlings Mr. Bull also congratulated Mr. \V. A. Bell on the colourful display of daffodils which he had staged. All of these blooms were seedlings developed by Mr. Bell, and it was indeed an achievement* for anv gardener to attain such perfection in a large number of blooms.
