BLAZE OF COLOUR.

Successful Flower Show at Wools ton. FINE GLADIOLI DISPLAY. The Oddfellows’ Ilall, Woolston, was a blaze of colour this afternoon, when the Woolston Horticultural Society’s summer show was opened. On the whole the entries for the show were fewer than those of last year, but in the gladioli section a record number of blooms was exhibited. Commenting on the exhibits in this section, the judge (Mr F. Thorne) remarked that despite the lateness of the season some perfect flowers were on show. The heat yesterday, however, had spoilt some of the blooms. In the vegetable section some exceptionally good specimens of potatoes were exhibited. Judging in the various sections was carried out by Mr M. J. Gilpin, cut flowers, pot plants and decorative; Mr F. Thorne, gladioli; fruit, Mr T. Freeman; children’s classes and needlework, Mrs G. G. Suston; cookery, Miss C. e! Goften. The honorary secretary was Mr T. R. Carlyle. The prizes for the premier blooms in the show were awarded to:—Mr W. Hawkins (Souvenir), best spike primulinus; and Mr C. H. Moir (Picardy)-, best spike gladioli. The prize list was as follows; CUT FLOWERS, Gladioli. ea< \ h » dis tinct varieties (5) —H. H. H.
