METHODIST FLOWER SHOW.

DISPLAY AT ELTHAM. A SUCCESSFUL VENTURE. «> The Methodists’ annual summer show, which was held in the Town Hall at Eltham yesterday, proved a successful venture, despite, the fact that weather conditions were not good. The interior of the hall presented a brilliant scene, which it must be considered rewarded the promoters for their long hours of toil. Entries in all the sections except that for sweet peas were good, the home industries section .in particular being well filled. In a brief speech the Rev. W. W. Avery drew attention to the fact that the function, combined with the annual sale of work, was a new departure, and he was indeed, pleased with the support forthcoming. When the suggestion of holding a show was first mooted they had been glad to receive the hearty support of many gentlemen connected with the Horticultural Society. The show was not a moneymaking scheme, but was held for the promotion of good fellowship. He thanked all for their generous support. In declaring the show open, Sir Walter Carncross also stressed the spirit of good fellowship which church flower shows promoted. During the afternoon Mr 0. J. Hawken, M.P., presented the cups'and trophies to the successful competitors. The champion rose (Mr J. P. Marx’s special trophy) was won by Mrs A. E. Washer, of New Plymouth, - who also won Messrs Duncan and Davies’ special points prize in the roses section. The Methodist Cup, donated by Mr D. Clement for roses", was won by Mr W. D. Foreman, of Tikorangi, ‘ for 12 blooms, not more than two of any variety. In the sweet pea section the points prize (donated by the Rev. W. W. Avery) was won by Mrs T. Feaver, of Hunter road, Eltham. The championship challenge cup, donated by Mr A. Chrystal, for the best vase of sweet peas in the show, was, curiously enough, won by the donor. The points prize for the gladioli and iris section (Mr W. Moss’ special) was won by the Rev. W. W. Avery, while the rose bowl donated bv Mrs F. R. Peppered for six varieties of gladioli was also annexed by the Rev. W. W. Avery. Considerable entries were received for the cut flowers section, and keen competition was evinced. The points prize (Mr W. Moss’ special) was won by Mrs T. Feaver. Mrs Skipper’s special prize for six varieties of pansy or viola went to Mrs E. .'A. Pacey, Hawera. The points prize for the decorative section,, donated by Mr N. D. Connell, was won by Mrs N. E. Drayton. In the fruit and vegetable section, the Rev.-W. W.
