WESTON FLOWER SHOW
A COLOURFUL DISPLAY Though getting on rather late in the season, the annual horticultural show of the Weston Society attracted good competition, and the hall made a very colourful display with the various blooms exhibited. The show was opened by Mr G. Stevenson (president), who returned thanks to all who had assisted to make it the success it undoubtedly was. Awards:— POT PLANTS Judge: Mr G. S.
