KUROW HORTICULTURAL SHOW

The Kurow Horticultural Show was held in the Kurow Hall on February 6 under the auspices of the Kurow Presbyterian Church. This year the Management Committee found itself obliged to hold the show earlier than usual, and this, together with the unusually dry season, prevented the exhibition from reaching its customary high level. Notwithstanding this there were some very fine entries. The Margaret Tait Munro Memorial Cup for most points in cut blooms was warn by Mrs W. R. Macauley; the Dunstan Cup, for baking, by Miss E. A. Cairns, and the William Milne Memorial Cup, for vegetables, by Mr J. K. MTvenzie. The following are the winners in the different classes: — CUT BLOOMS. Judge: Mr James Main, Oamaru.
