BEAUTIFUL ROSES

SUMMER FLOWER SHOW AT MOTUEKA IN AID PATRIOTIC FUNDS ROSE BOWL WON BY MR lAN HAMILTON The display of roses at the Motueka Horticultural Society’s Summer Show on Friday came in for special commendation by the judge (Mr S. Bruce Dobbie), who declared that it was a marked advance on last season’s and a distinct credit to the exhibitors. Right through the section, he added, there were excellent blooms—blooms that were fit to be staged in any of the larger centres of the Dominion. Competition was particularly keen and. as a result, decision in making the awards in most cases had been far from easy. In the other cut flowers, there were some especially good spikes among the delphiniums and very attractive colours in the Russell lupin class. The standard of sweet peas, however, was classed as only fair. In addition to the roses, the Decorative section, with its numerous beautiful exhibits, presented a problem the adjudicator (Mrs S. Bruce Dobbie), who referred to the increased entries and the charming arrangement shown in the decorated tables, vases, bowls and baskets of flowers.

The vegetables, though not numerous, were #ery good. THE ROSE BOWL The Rose Bowl (donated by the Riwaka School) was won for the second year in succession by Mr lan Hamilton, who was also awarded the champion certificate for the best bloom in the show —a gorgeous specimen of “McGredy’s Yellow.” Previous winners of the rose bowl, which must be won three times (not necessarily in succession), before becoming the property of the holder, were Mr Reg. Rowling (1935. 1936). Miss Gwen McLean (1937, 1938), and Mr lan Hamilton (1939). The judges were: Roses and cut flowers (Mr S. Bruce Dobbie); decorative (Mrs S. Bruce Dobbie); vegetables (Mr S. B. Canavan). The show was open in the afternoon and again in the evening when there was a much larger attendance of the public. The Boys’ Band, under the baton of Mr Gerald Green, rendered a number of tuneful selections outside and inside the hall. Through the efforts of the show committee and the sale of flowers, etc., which were'auctioned by the president (Mr Reg. Rowling), the society was enabled to make a donation of £7 2s to the patriotic funds. The secretarial arrangements were in the hands of Mr S. B. Canavan. Appended is the list of awards.

FF.AR BALDNESS? Every person suffering the humiliation of early baldness, receding hair, or repulsive dandruff, should immediately try the Birmese treatment, obtainable at 5/6, from R. W. Martin, M.P.S.. Chemist. Nelson. Birmese is actually wonderful, as it attacks baldness in an entirely new way by restoring the papilla, or hair root food, and growing luxuriant new hair.
