DAFFODILS AT ELTHAM

CHOICE BLOOMS EXHIBITED R. LEWIS AMATEUR CHAMPION. OPEN CHAMPION R. GIBSON. An exceedingly choice display of daffodils was made at the Eltham Horticultural Society’s spring show yesterday. In fact, it was considered by competent authorities to represent as good a collection as was possible by amateurs. In quality the exhibits would not be excelled at any show in New Zealand, and in comparison with •last year’s show at Eltham'it was a long way in .advance. Last year the daffodil display was considered an exj cellent one. ,~ The Taranaki 7 amathur championship and the Muir -Cup were won by R. Lewis, with the Rev. W. W. Avery run-ner-up.
