The Napier Horticultural Society. The Napier Horticultural Society held their- annual meeting on Tuesday afternoon. It was decided to hold a rose and sweet pea show some time in November. Sweet peas have become most popular flowers of late, and every season brings out more lovely varieties. Judging from the number of people cultivating sweet peas, the show in November should be a great success, andl encouragement to tne society. A bulb show will be held in St. Augustine’s Schoolroom on September 7th. These little shows have always been most popular. The daffodils promise to be very good this season, and with other early spring flowers should make a show well worth visiting. Hockey Dance.
