PEEL FOREST

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

SPRING SHOW. The Peel Forest Horticultural Society held its annual spring show in the Peel Forest Hall, on Thursday afternoon. Favoured by beautiful weather, there was a good attendance, visitors and exhibitors being present from all parts of the district. Competent judges were of the opinion that the all round high quality and excellence of the exhibits, together with record entries, undoubtedly made the show the best yet staged by the Society. There were 501 entries, a record, compared with 350 last year. Large entries, keen competition and a high standard of exhibits were the features of the cut flowers, cooking and school sections. The cooking and the drawing exhibits in the school section were highly praised by the judges. In the narcissi display, tile premier cup-shaped specimen was awarded to Miss Orford's “Festive,” and the premier trumpet specimen was warded to the Rev T. Stinson's “Timaru.” Mr G. Coombs, of Geraldine, exhibited a choice stand of daffodils, which were much admired. Mrs J. M. Tripp’s exhibit of flowering shrubs was also worthy of special mention. During the afternoon, the chairman (Mr W. E. Barker) suitably thanked the judges and stewards, and all those who had helped to make the show a success. He then called on Comman-

- der G. Dennistoun to present the .special prizes. Before doing so, Coraif mander Dennistoun heartily congratu- ° lated the Society, and the exhibit rrs. on R their excellent show. Special credit *i was due to the working committee and to the secretary, Miss O. M. Barker. 1 The presentation of prizes then took ■ place. The Rev. T. Stinson, who won " the Rutherford Challenge Cup out- * right, generously handed it back to - the Society for competition again. Afternoon tea, under the capable p supervision of Mrs G. U’Pritchard, with whom were associated Mrs W. Ashby, Misses R. Ashby, I. Wood and M. Mac- * phail, was dispensed in a spacious j ” marquee, near the hall.
