address to hard of hearing LEAGUE On Tuesday evening, Mr William Simpson, of the Botanical Gardens staff, delivered an address in which he made reference to the horticultural show to be staged in the Town Hall early in March.

Mr Simpson also described the work involved in constructing and decorating the citizens’ float which will form part of the Cavalcade of Progress, and intimated that it was hoped to be able to place this float on exhibition at the Caledonian ground at the conclusion of the processoin. An informative address was concluded when the speaker dealt with the various phases of the production of plants, etc., in the nursery, and also described some of the more interesting displays to be found in the Gardens’ glasshouses.
