Flower Show

Roses and Carnations HASTINGS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. ANNUAL SHOW. The Hastings Horticultural Society s fifteenth rose, sweetpeu, and ca*nation show opened at the Hastings Assembly Hall this afternoon, and will rerOpeu this eveipng at 7 o’clock. During the afternoon there was a large attendance of the public. There is a fine entry of bicorns which are, ail round, of a high standard of quality, and the staging oi the exhibits shows them off to perfection, the masses of colour and beauty of form presenting an arresting picture as tho visitors enters the ball. In the rose section the display is large but the show is about a week too late for Hastings, and two weeks too late for Havelock North growers to show to the best advantage. Consequently the blooms, though of k very excellent quality, are some of them, rather blown. The ary weather also affected the size of the roses, but their form and quality are exquisite. It is difficult to strike a date that would suit both roseg and sweetpeas, but the blooms in thia section seem to have struck the crest of their beauty, and the exhibition is probably the best the society has had for years. There is a large entry of these blooms and tho exposition is prodigal in variety ftnd colour.

Th© carnations are few in number but they are exieedingly dainty and delicate in tints, attracting a great deal of attention.

The decorative work in bowls and baskets was most artistic and creditable in every way to the exhibitors, whilst the work in the mantelpieces and table decorations showed much originality and artistry in design. There is also a very good show of delphiniums and the miscellaneous department generally displayed a choice variety of flowers. The fruit and vegetable display is not extensive, but the exhibits are exceedingly good, including some choice strawberries and gooseberries. Mrs J. C. Tosswill has on view an exceedingly charming variety of Iris, numbering fifty at least, forming a rich display, which was genuinely admired by the spectators. Mr. G. D. Wilson, nurseryman, Hastings, has a trade display consisting of 300 varieties of’ roses and the latest novelties, which was closely inspected by flower lovers. Mr. C. D. Kennedy, of Napier, acted . as judge of the roses and Mr. A. J. Anderson, of Napier, judged the rest of the blooms, whilst Mrs Campbell made the awards in the decorative classes.
