FLOWER SHOW

MORMNGTON SCHOOL The twenty-seventh annual flower show was held in the Mornington School Hall on Thursday afternoon. In spite of unfavourable seasonal conditions the display on the whole was scarcely inferior to those of previous years. While in some classes the entries showed a slight decrease, in others, there was a marked increase. In the floral section asters were strongly represented and were excellent in quality. Carnations also were numerous and furnished some splendid blooms. In the fruit section apples were the outstanding feature.’ The cookery section, as usual, was much in evidence, and the judge (Miss Park) spoke in appreciative terms of the-quality of the various exhibits. The attendance during the afternoon was very good, and the show, both from the educational and financial points of view, was a distinct success. The committee is grateful to Messrs Hollingworth and Roy (judges of the floral and vegetable sections) and to Miss J. Park (judge of the cookery) for services willingly and efficiently rendered.
