WELLINGTON ROSE AND CARNATION CLUB.

The schedules for this Society’s meetings have been issued. The Rose Show takes place on November 12. The classes have evidently been so arranged that

quality may be obtained, three and six blooms being in most instances the number required, and these again are assigned to colours. There is also a class for fragrant red roses. All of these appear to us to be well fitted for bringing out the best, more especially for those with a limited number of plants. The Summer Show is fixed for Decern* her 11. At this meeting sweet peas and carnations are the principal flowers. We

observe that in sweet peas 12 varieties are the maximum required. 10 sprays only of each sort to be set up. grasses or gypsophilia being allowed in addition to sweet pea foliage. To our thinking this would have been better if confined to only one dressing, and that own foliage. There is no class for novelties raised in the Dominion. Probably the Society leaves this for the National? The carnation and pivot ee classes are numerous and well managed. Copies of the schedule may be obtained on application to the joint lion. secretaries Messrs. 11. A. Fox and J. E. S. Lord, Wellington.
