HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
(To the Editor of the Herald. J Sir,— lt may surprise "Pro boho publieo" to learn that there Is » Hotti- ' cultural Society m Gisborne, and that we were having flower shows 30 years ago. On the death of M r Bdntley , wljo was a great enthusiast* the Society .lapsed, but was revived 7 or 8 years afeo when several successful shows were heidj until, owing to want of rfupport from llie '• public, they had to be given up. Sirflbe' then the number of gardenß m the dM triofc has greatly increased and ; I see'- ho reason why the Society should not bo r r susoitated with every prospect <tf b«coess. Meantime the work seemtfto 1 be taken up the churches. r Khe Ohuttfh of England had a small flower, show «t Waerenga-a-hika and the . PjesbyteTiau Church . at Gisborne propose "holding: a show next mouth. At no previous sha\c have giowers of roses h<w( an oppca-tnnity of making a display^ flnd I would -propose that the Societsf'ma4ce a start .With n rose show m Novembeij, If "Pro^bortb Publieo" will call jupon 'Mr Gilbert Still of Williams and- Kettlei. Ltd.,; the alien! dam secretary of tjlie Society, .lain; Bur© that gent*man will assist hint.-iii hig efforts to revive the Society.-^-t am«tc SUB ROSA. '
