DAFFODIL SHOW.
THE NATIONAL DISPLAY. WELLINGTON, Sept. 21. “I am very pleased with the response of the public. Their enthusiasm proves that people are becoming flower-minded,” said Mrs Knox Gilmer, president of the Wellington Horticultural Society, whose show, which was held in conjunction with the National Daffodil Society, concluded in the Town Hall last night. Throughout the day many beautiful exhibits were admired by large numbers of persons; actually the attendance constituted a record. The Eastern Suburbs Society won Mr R. A. Wright’s trophy for daffodils. In the Wellington section, Mr W. E. Weightman’s “St. Egwin” was voted the champion bloom (other than trumpet), and the same exhibitor was successful in the trumpet class with his “Crocus.” The trophy competitions reshlted: New Zealand Institue of Horticulture, three distinct varieties seedling daffodils: Mr W. E. Weightman; Robert Gibson trophy, 12 distinct varieties of daffodils, Mr G. Bramley (won outright); Mrs Knox Gilmer’s trophy, six vases of polyanthus, Mrs C. Jones; Miss R. M. Joseph’s trophy, six vases cut flowers, Mrs C. Jones.
