HORTICULTURAL SHOW

Napier Society’s Display MANY BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS Women’s Organisations’ Exhibits An excellent display of blooms met the eyes of visitors to tne annual n,se and sweet-pea slfcw o f the Napier Horticultural Society yesterday. Entries generally were well up to the standards set m previous year, though the number in the rose section bore little comparison with what is customary in this section. The arrays 0! blooms, however, made a glorious display, which paid ample tribute to the work of rhe gardeners who grew them. The show was visited throughout the afternoon and night by a constant stream of visitors. A great deal of interest centred in the collections of flowers arranged by the two women’s organisations—the Napier Townswomen’s Guild and the Hastings Women’s Division of the Farmers' Union. The gardening circles of both these organisations have since their formation stimulated considerable interest m horticulture among their members, and these displays' stood in evidence oi the value of their work. Judges in the various sections were as follows: Hoses, Mr G. D. Wilson, Hastings; s weet peas, Mr C. D. Wilson, Napier; miscellaneous and vegetables, Mr F. Daily, Napier; decorative, Mr L.
