GREYTOWN FLOWER SHOW

DECREASED ENTRIES. The Greytown Horticultural »Society held its autumn show yesterday. There -was. a heavy falling off in entries compared with the autumn show held two years ago, due, no doubt, to the fact that other localities had abandoned their exhibitions wong to the infantile epidemic. The recCnt storms have also played havoc in all gardens. There was a marked decrease in cut flowers, though some splendid blooms were shown. The dahlias exhibited by F. Bull were a particularly line lot and elicited unstinted praise from the judge. Vegetables were not as numerous as , cviously, while the commercial orchards did not come forward with the number of entries anticipated. The exhibits received were well staged, and the attendance throughout . the afternoon and evening was quite satisfactory. As usual the show, with its many details, was ably controlled by the secretary, Mr J. F. Wallis, who received big assistance from an energetic set of stewards. CUT FLOWERS. (Judge: Mr E.
