Primroses, wallflowers, and violets may be seen at the spring show of the Canterbury Horticultural Society if certain recommendations made by the society’s committee last evening arc acted on by the incoming committee. It was recommended that all these flowers should be included in three classes on the next schedule, the chairman, Mr M. J. Barnett, remarking that the cultivation of "favourite English floxyers" should be encouraged. “I think," he said, “that as many violets and primrose*' are grown nowadays as there were in our grandmothers' time. They should be included among the classes on the schedule.”
