ROSE SHOW

3.45 P.M. EDITION

PERFECTION OF BLOOMS. GARDEN BEAUTY REVEALED. Ranging from rich creamy and ivory tones to pale lemon, exquisite pink and the deepest Hushes of carmine, the blooms exhibited at the Palmerston North Horticultural Society’s Rose Show, held in the Empire Hall to-day, were a delightful revelation of the perfection which can be attained, when well cultivated, by the queen of the garden and the symbol of English beauty. The hall was filled witn the fragrance of roses and sweet peas, while tall delphinums, of sky violet blue, nodded gracefully among a splendid‘display of other flowers. Though the fixture is a little late ill the season, blooms of outstanding quality have been produced, the weatlier having been entirely favourable. Entries were good, and the flowers' were attractively benched. The snow will be continued this evening, a musical programme having been arranged for the period between 7 and 8 o’clock. Shown by Miss E. M. Petrie, of Feilding, the rose George Dickson was adjudged the champion bloom in the show, also the best in the amateur section. The best bloom in the open class was a Mrs Charles Lamplough, exhibited by Mr F. J. Nathan. The Nurserymen’s Trophy for six varieties of named roses was won by Miss Petrie. Mr T. Webb, who judged the vegetables and incidentally completed 21 years of association with horticultural shows in Palmerston iNortn to-cny. commented that the fruits of the domestic garden, as exhibited, were extraordinarily good, the parsnips being model specimens. Collections of vegetables also were of a high standard, due doubtless to the favours of an' early spring. Judges of tne various classes were as follow : —Roses and sweet peas, Mr F. Mason (Feilding); cut blooms, Mr Evans (Manakau); vegetables and fruit, Mr T. \Vebb (Palmerston North); domestic, Mrs D. Buchanan (Tiakitaliuna); decorative, Mrs Clark (Levin). The roses were to have been judged by Mr A. J. Shailer, but he was unable to fulfil the engagement owing to illness. The duties of stewards were carried out by Misses Woodhouse and D’Atli, Mesdames W. J. Phillips, R. A. McKenzie, L. T. Brown, Messrs L. J. Plank, D. C. Pryor, H. D. Smith, W. L. H. Chapman, arid J. W. Hodgson. Luncheon and afternoon tea arrangements were under the capable supervision of Mesdames A. W. Just, A. J. Shailer, J. Louisson, E. Dymock and Prideaux.
