GARDENER LOSES PRIZE PLANTS.
SUCCESSES AT SHOW ATTRACTED NOTICE
(Special to the “ Star.”) WANGANUI, November 17. There is one resident of Wicksteed Street, Wanganui, who doubts the truth of the business maxim “It pays to advertise.” Yesterday she was awarded a first prize for vegetables at the Horticultural Show, and the fact was published in the prize list. On visiting her garden early this morning she found all her tomato plants had been dug up and stolen, the thief very kindly leaving the stakes in i isition so that she may be encouraged to plant again. As the plants were from imported seed from America for observation pu poses, the theft is all the more exasperating.
