HORTICULTURAL.

SOUTH MALVERN SHOW.' p Thfl South Malvern Horticultural Society's annual show was held in the Glentunnel Domain on Saturday last, under perfect weather conditions. Large marquees housed the varied and interesting exhibits and also the stalls and refreshment rooms. The fruit and vegetable display this year was the finest in the district for a very long time. Combined with tho show was a fete and sports programme, run by the New Hall Committee, as a result of which about £6O was taken, and it is anticipated that about £3O net will bo added to the hall fund as tho result of the day's activities. forty-fivo convalescent soldiers from the Chalmers Wards of the Hospital were brought up in cars by the local branch of the Red Croaß Society. Their presence as guests at the flower show and fete was a source of pleasure both to themselves and tho South Malvern resident?.
