November 17. Horticultural Society. The Spring Show held by the Marlborough Horticultural Society, in the Town Hall on Thursday last, was a great success. One noticeable feature was the variety of exquisite roses exhibited, which were much admired by fanciers. There was rather a shortage of pot plants, and the floral designs were perhaps not so numerous as at previous shows, but those entered were verv creditable to the exhibitors. There was a verv fine display of lemons shown bv Mr. Fred Redwood. The domestic products were more select than numerous. while the children's exhibits were deserving of all praise. Quite a number of Picton people attended the show during the afternoon. Guessing competitions and a nail driving competition caused considerable interest during the evening.
