Guy, photo. GROWING LUXURIANTLY ON THE HILLSIDE.—DAFFODILS (NATURALISED) ON MESSRS, SIMPSON AND HART'S GROUND AT LAWRENCE. Last month the Lawrence Horticultural Society celebrated an innovation in the matter of a “Daffodil Day." There were daffodils everywhere. In nearly every garden they Stood in long files or ran in twos and threes across the lawn, and gathered in groups in the corners. Some of them were positively demure, while others—big stalwart fellows, with broad perianths and deep trumpet cup, bore themselves with quite a military air. On the hillside at the Domain and at Wetherstones they rioted in fair luxuriance, but in the ball where the exhibition show was held were the very aristocracy of the daffodil world. Over 1,000 people went from Dunedin by special train to see the display throughout the town.
