CHILDREN’S GARDEN CIRCLE

Dear Gardeners. — Yes, I can truthfully call you all “gardeners” after the wonderful dis [iluy you all made at our First Great Show. To say it was a great success would not do justice to the wonderful display you all helped to make. I am proud of you all. Our committee is proud of your. Our parent body—the Suburban Society—is proud of you, and most of all the people of Wanganui are proud of you. You arc indeed a credit to the (.’ity of Wanganui. To you all who assisted with donations, gifts, or helped in any way, 1 send you my thanks and can assure you 1 will work harder than ever to make our ircle the best of its kind in the world. To yon all, please accept my thanks for your wonderful help. You will all be pleased to hear that not only was it a success ns a show—but it was also a success financially and we are pleased to be able to tell members and helpers that a profit of over £5O was made. This should greatly help to give to members some splendid gifts for their gardens. Again, to one and all my very best thanks, and may the next year be a very happy one for all members of the C.G.C.—Ever your friend, “CARNATIO.”
