ST. MARK'S DAFFODIL EXHIBITION.

This annual event took place on Tuesday, August 22, at St. Mark’s Parish Hall, Remuera. The date is fixed so as to be well clear of the Auckland Horticultural Society’s Spring Show, and also to give lovers of the narcissi an opportunity of seeing the earlier varieties. There was a large and varied exhibit of daffodils, including collections sent by Mr. W. Rosser, Mr. Douglas Kirker, Mr. H. B. J. Bull, Mr. A. E. Grindrod, and Rev. W. Beatty. The blooms on the whole were well grown, clean, bright, and very effectively staged. 1A white Tridymus seedling, shown by Rev. W. Beatty, attracted much attention. - A feature of the show was a table of spring flowers sent by Mr. C. A. Whitney. There were seven table decorations for competition, all of which were attractive. The first prize was carried off by Mrs. Lance Brodie, the second was awarded to Mrs. J. W. Nichol, and the third to Miss Flossie Edgerley. Prizes for children’s baskets were won by Irma Lusher, Ruth Roberton, Janet Roberton, —. Bews, —. Colbeck, and by the pupils of the Remuera Kindergarten. From an aesthetic point of view the exhibition was one of the best so far held. The arrangements were admirable, and groat credit is due to the ladies who were responsible.
