WAIRARAPA INDUSTRIAL & HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
SPEING SHOW The Wairarapa Horticultural and Industrial Society held their Spring Show in the Agricultural Hall at Carterton on Saturday last, November 28th. The Show was a great success, the only weak section being pot plants. The array of out blooms wasexcellent and embraced good •pecimens from nearly every variety of spring flowers cultivated in the Wairarapa. The principle prizetakers in this section were Mr H. S. Izard of Qrejtortn; Mr W. Summers, gardener for Mr ■ H. H. Beetham of Brancepeth, and Mr W. Q. Beard of Masterton. The • hand bouquets, and especially the bridal bouquets, were splendid and artistic works of flower massing) The first prize for bridal bouquets (Mrs fl. H, Beetham) was an exquisitively delicate piece of work. Many of the exhibits were very tastefully arranged in low growing moss, the neutral green of which,height?: ened the colours of the blooms. There was good competition' fectfj first honour in table decoration ffiW number and quality of these exhibits far surpassed those shown at the Masterton Show. The prize rose bridal bouquet (Miss Menlove) was an exquisite and delicate com-, bination of-- white rosebuds and ■ Maidenhair ferns. A collection' of k' violins, made entirely of New Zealand woods, was exhibited by the maker Mr W, Rising, of Carterton, the model and finish of which would do credit to an old world manufacturer. Mrs J. Brown exhibited ; a. number of, ourios among which were clubs, bows and arrows, etc,; 1 from the New Hebrides, Anumberpf oil paintings were shown by local art-, J ists, A, very large painting shown by , Mr W, Abbott was a most creditable piece of work. At the far end of the Hall a refreshment room had been improvised, wherelightrefresbments were served ont by ladies who, bad kindly undertaken the work. All arrangements were well carried out, and the show room presented a neat and pretty appearance, and reflects great credit on the Secretary* (Mr E. \Y. Dorset), who has proved himself a most capable organiser of horticultural, agrionltnral and shows of a like nature. The following is the prize-list:—
