BALCLUTHA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

* V! . THE ANNUAL SHOW. J. . (I The annual show under the auspices of ] c lie Balclutha Horticultural and Industrial \1 Exhibit Society was opened yesterday (li ifternoon, when, notwithstanding the some- 2. vliat gcnoral .falling-oIT that has been Y sperienced in the rearing of (lio more 1 lolicato. floral specimens owing to the D scceclingly hot weather, • thcro was a. dia- - ilay that reflected great credit on the local « lortioulturists, and amply repaid them 2. or the evident care they have bestowed » in their' plants and flowers. There was J l satisfactory entry in most of tho depart- " nents. The judging was expeditiously arried out, and the arrangement of the ixhibits was in the best of taste. Alto;ether the promoters may feel gratified it tho successful issue of their efforts. ], ['he show was open again in tho evening, v: ind will be continued to-day. 2. There was a noticeable falling-off in the ntries of pot plants, which were perhaps J iot*'quite so good as last year, with the narked exception of begonias in the open lasses, in which Mr C. E. Naish was tho J mly exhibitor. The zonale roses, the It .spnragus, and several of the foliage plants ti fore also distinctly creditable, and it was t' egrottablo that there was not more com- J' ictition. An exhibit that attracted a e ;reat deal of attention was Mv Naish'e 1< ollection of plants, which jncluudcd. '^ ,mong other specimens, an admirable and ° rell-arranged display of begonias, lilies, JJ .nd cut flowers. In tho out flower section tho cactus "; lahlias exhibited by Mr Naish in the open lasses were exceptionally good, and con- r idercd to.be as fine'as any that have over j icen seen at a Olutha eUbw. Sweet peas, ~ isually a beautiful show, were not so <• uunerous as usual, but' nevertheless the j lasses contained many strong blooms, j, Jladioli wore not so well represented as j n former years, but the specimens on j xhibition wero pre-eminent for quality, loses and carnations suffered by comlarison with those on view in former years, ["he judge, Mr' Cousins, considered the • xhibition a oreditablo. one, taking into oneideration the effect the continued dry feather has had on tho plants. The society can boast an excellent dis- . day of fruit this year. Tho exhibition ius probably the finest over seen in the ■, [isirict. A uniformly excellent sliow of .pples calls for special mention. Plums, _ ;oosebervies, and all tho small fruits were f the finest quality in their respective ] lasses. Another great- feature of the how was tho oven display of vegetables of ] 11 kinds. There was a magnificent disilay of potatoes, the judge expressing Hie ; pinion that Mr Naish's collective exhibit ,-as the finest he had ever seen. Through- " ut the- entire section uniformity of quality ;as noticeable, and Mr J. D. Willocks is 1 eserving' of the highest praise for his fine ntries of peas, onions, and beetroot. The i ompetilion for school children was most iicccssful. It is the intention of the aeicty to continue tho class next year, ' nd judging by the interest displyaed by ho young gardeners when they were re- . eased from school in the afternoon the lass will not want for lack of support on . heir part. There was also a good dislay of dairy produce and cooking,' and he industrial and fine art and juvenile ection were all accorded a good share of latronage. The competitive floral designs .•ere most attractive,, and the decorated ables on tho stage gave the a siting that, reflected credit on tho ladie6 esponsibte for thoir exquisite arrangement.
