'l'he West Taieri Horticultural Society's ituitimn show was held at Outram on Saturday. The Jit-play was one of the best in the history of the society, a profusion of oho ice blooms, with a wealth of colour, making a' most attractive c.\hiitiosi. It is only about, u couple of months since the society held its summer show, and it. might bo thought that the autumn show would have suffered on that account. Such, however, was far from beint; the case, for the display was <roocl ami the public came to see it in large numbers, arid were evidently woll pleased. At iinvrate, it would ha vc been unwise to have held the show later, as the season is closing, and, as it was, some of the blooms —notably /in the rose sect ions -wore just a little past the best condition. Kntries all round were large, and the finality left nothing to lie desired. The cut llower sections brought, forward some splendid blooms, and it was a diliioult mailer at times for the judge (Mr I'' Senton) to distinguish l.vrweoii the nioritsof the various exiiiits. The two s:ands of cut llowers, the best of which was shown by Mrs .las. Dow who was a. largo oxiii!>i:<n- in this mid other departments, were a credit In the district. As already plated, the approaching fillMt of I lie SI-.1-OM had i'-s cll.'-i upon till- rose exhibits. Some were on I lie full side, but tlfre were others that weiv quite up to the mark. Sw;ot peas were likewise affected .-lightly by tie leceul of the w<-alhcr. ami did not. c-omu up lo tlio standard of lihl year's exliioit. Pot. planks were much in evidence, the exhibit iK-iug atxivc that of previous sho'.vs. The first pmo for foliage 1 hints fell lo tin aspidistra, t-liov.u by All's .0. 1 human, while a palm, the property of the same exhibitor, sccured the livst ticket in the class for specimen plants. 'J he second prize-laker was an uncommonly pretty exhibit, being a Bottgan villia, tbe (rrceit foliage making a nic-e. setting for the rink flower. The exhibition of vetreUbke. was such as any district rnighf be : roud of, the quality' all through being rarrk-»ii:n-ly gootl. Koine model potatoes IDaimiiey Beatify) were shown by Mr M. Wright in the class for six vhiro potalcc=, this entry securing lir.st prize against seven other exhibits. The class for six onions brought out il exhibits, anil those sliowti by Mr F. Parsons, a specially firm, uniform lot, gained the judge's verdict. Iho class fur heaviest cabbi.go t■vod>tooil gcuil competition, and sewed tins purpose of showing what Taieri soil is capable of gro'.'.'ing. ill' Jas. littii<!!o cavi'i"il (II uio prize with a splendid sample.
