ORARI FLOWER SHOW

LARGE INCREASE IN ENTRIES A SPLENDID DISPLAY Entries for the tenth annual show conducted by the Orari Horticultural Society in the Coronation Hall yesterday showed a substantial increase on those of last year, and in the pot plant and cut flower, decorative, and home industries sections they were a record for the Society. With a grand total of 1090 entries, compared with 955 last year, they would have been a record for the Show had it not been for the late re-opening of the Orari School consequent on the epidemic restrictions, with the result that the children’s entries of 232 last year dropped to 90 this year. Much of the success of the Society is due to the efforts of the president, Mr J. B. Roberts ar.d the honorary secretary, Mr L. Pierce, who are aided by an energetic and enthusiastic committee, and a pleasing feature is that this year the number of members has increased by over a third. The premier bloom at the show was a magnificent specimen of Lllium Aurutium, the golden-rayed lily of Japan, which was exhibited by Mrs G. Birdling. The judge. Mr A.. W. Anderson (Timaru) remarked that it was one of the most splendid blooms he had ever seen.

In commenting generally ou the show Mr Anderson said that the quality was high, and, considering the season, it was very good. It was the first time he had judged at Orari, but he had been told it was a first-class show, and the exhibits displayed had ben fully up to expectations. The annuals were also good, especially the nasturtiums, and right through the cut flower section the exhibits were also of a high tandard. Mrs G. Stewart, who won the prize for the collection of six annuals had exhibited a nice class of stuff, and the quality was also very good. The gladioli were also very good considering the weather conditions recently. A pleasing feature, concluded Mr Anderson, was the fact that very few of the exhibits had been wrongly classified, which showed that the exhibitors were quite familiar with show work.

The Sarah Batty Memorial Cup, given by Mr G. Batty was won by Mrs George Ford (Timaru) who won the trophy by securing 40 points in the home produce section. Messrs Priest end Holdgates Cup for most points in the vegetable section was won by Mr D. Vernail, with 46 points. There was a large attendance during the afternoon and also in the evening, when Mr T. D. Burnett, M.P., addressed the gathering, and presented the cups to the winners.
