ELTHAM SPRING SHOW

—* ■ ''vv DAFFODIL CHAMPIONSHIPS

POUR MAJOR AWARDS. RECORD ENTRIES IN CLASSES. Described by competent judges as a- magnificent array of blooms characteristic of some of the best stock to, be seen anywhere in the Dominion,: the daffodil section of the Eltliani Horticultural Society’s spring show m the Eiltham town hall yesterday aroused intense enthusiasm among growers from all oarts of the Taranaki province. The blooms were specially displayed against a negative background and their quality and .character were clearly defined. Record entries were received by the society in almost every section and the show was regarded as one of the "best, m spite of the comparative lateness of the season for bulbs, that has ever been held in Elthain. In some of the decorative rod children’s classes especially, there were upwards of 20 exhibits and the judges spent an exceedingly busy morning. • There were four major awards in the daffodil section, the Taranaki daffodil open championship (Cooper Cup, valued at 16 guineas) and the international champion, both in the open classes, were won by Mr. L. Lewis, while in the amateur classes the Muir Challenge Cup, valued at 21 guineas, for the Taranaki daffodil championship and the Petrie Eerpetlunl Challenge Cup for red-cupped daffodils, were won by Mr. R.
