SHOW AT RAGLAN.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

A GREAT SUCCESS,

Despite the boisterous weather experienced during the past week the Raglan Horticultural Show scored a distinct, success at its 16th annual show on Saturday. Gut flowers, of course, had suffered greatly from the winds and hailstorms, yet there was a very creditable display. Roses, which are usually a very prominent feature at Raglan, were not up to the usual standard. Sweet peas were good, and pansies, although smajl in number., were of good quality. In the vegetable section there were some excellent peas and potatoes. Taken altogether, the show r was well up to the standard of previous years. Mr A. G. Kirkwood had an arduous time. In addition to his own duties as president, he carried out the work of secretary. He was well supported by an active band of willing helpers. Mr W. Lee Martin, M.P,., opened the show, and congratulated the society on its excellence.

In the evening a concert, arranged by Mrs H. C. Ross, of Hamilton, was much appreciated. The company, which came from Hamilton, consisted of Mrs Ross, Mr and Mrs Rhodes, Misses Gould, M. Gould, Mary McKenzie, Della Clapham and Gladys Denz, Messrs N. Ross, K. Eade, G. Hutchinson and W. Powell.

Mrs V. E. Pegler was again the winner of the Bollard Rose Bowl and the Lee Martin Silver Cup, and these were presented to her during the afternoon by Mr Wu Lee Martin, M.P., who congratulated her upon her great success.

The Te Uku Country Women’s Club had an exhibit of artistic work, not for competition, which was much admired.
