WAITAHUNA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

CENTRAL OTAGO

SPRING SHOW The Waitahuna Horticultural Society held its spring show on Saturday afternoon and evening in_ Brown’s Hall. Owing to sickness in the district, several prominent exhibitors were unable to take part as usual, which reflected on the entries and competition in the narcissi section particularly. Dr Sutherland (Lawrence) staged for exhibition a fine display of narcissi seedlings, and Mr T. H, Clarke (Lawrence) had a collection of 50 named varieties on exhibition, both exhibits being much admired by local horticulturists. In the narcissi section blooms (Creosus) exhibited by Mr R. D, Lockhart and the Rev. A. R. Chisholm were fine specimens, as were the displays of pansies, anemones, violas, and Crown Imperials, which were favourably commented upon by the judge Mr T. H. Clarke (Lawrence). In the industrial section the judges (Mrs Cameron and Miss M'Kinlay, Lawrence) made special reference to the fancy work exhibited by Miss Molly E. Crozier (Mount Stuart) and Mrs J. Labes (Waitahuna). The judges also commented on the fine display by the school children, this section being judged by Mrs D. R. Lockhart. The following is the prize list:— POT PLANTS. Pot plant.
