OUTSTANDING SHOW

EXHIBITS AT NORMANBY EXCELLENT DAHLIA BLOOMS. CH AMPIONSHIPS..DECIDED. The 52nd annual Nonnanby horticultural show, which opened a two-day season yesterday, brought to light an outstanding variety of exhibits. The entries totalled more than 900. The record for the show is 1600. The features of the show were the Taranaki open and amateur championships for dahlias, won by C. E. Rowe and J. Gibson respectively. The whole display was outstanding and the two championship winners’ blooms were, in the opinion of Mr. C. Goodson, the judge, as good as anything he had seen in New Zealand. Considering the dryness of the season prior to the recent floods the quality of the flowers exhibited was high. “We are pleased with the response by exhibitors,” said the president, Mr. A. E. Linn, to a News reporter. “The Taranaki championships were a big help and have been a decided attraction at the show. In spite of the dryness of the season we totalled more entries than last year. The judges in every section have given complete satisfaction.” Mr. Goodson said the feature of the show had been the dahlias, which technically were making vast improvement year by year. In the open class there was little between the entrants, and the winner of the amateur championship was equal to the best open bloom. The technical improvement concerned the stiffening of stems, making them easy to stage and showing them to perfection. The old-fashioned blooms used to drop. The growers and breeders were annually making great advances. The champion bloom of the show was J. Gibson’s Daily Mail.

In his opinion the cut flowers had suffered from the drought, said Mr. Goodson. There was evidence of response to the heavy rain which had saved the show from failure. The asters were beautiful, as were the zinnias. The cut flowers were better than he had expected and the marigolds were very good. A fine showing of alpine, cactii and herbaceous blooms was displayed by Evans and Sawyer, Manakau. A feature of the display was the new dwarf Michaelmas daisy, this being shown for the first time in bloom in New Zealand. The awards are:— FARM PRODUCE. Judge, Mr. D.
