COULLS. SOMERVILLE, .WILKIE, LTD. The employees of Coulls, Somerville, Wilkie, Ltd., brought forward a splendid display of flowers and vegetables in the firm's showroom yesterday for their annual exhibition. The various classes were mainly confined to employees, but in a number of instances employees’ wives were permitted to enter. The friendly rivalry of the occasion produced keen competition, notably in the needlework and cookery classes. The judges were as follow:-—Elowers and vegetables, Mr D Tannock; cookery. Miss Kay; decorative work. Miss Reid; needlework, Mrs Simpson. In the flowers and vegetable sections Mr Tannock considered ' that notwithstanding the unfavourable season the entries were up to a very high standard, ihe needlework classes, introduced for the first time, elicited a host o f entries and the comment of the judge was that the exhibits were all beautifully workedreflecting much credit on the care and patience of the girls..
