HORTICULTURAL SHOW

TUAPEKA SOCIETY The autumn show of the Tuapeka Horticultural Society was held on Wednesday in fine weather. The show was a creditable one considering the difficult season the growers had to contend with. Ine gladioli display was the feature of the show, and was spoken highly' of by the judge. Asters and the decorative sections were also very fine. The vegetables were good in some classes, especially the collections, parsnips and marrows. The industrial section showed an increase in entries and competition, and made an attractive display. Mr Brian Jeffrey (Roxburgh) judged the fruit, flowers and vegetables, and Mesdames Labeg and Crozier (Waitahuna) the industrial section. The president (Mr F. J. Gray), the secretary (Miss I.
