THE FLOWER SHOW
Successful Exhibition By Horticultural Society
The Horticultural Show, held yesterday at Volunteer Head-""> quarters was the most successful held here for many years. Under the Inspiring leadership of the Hon Secretary, Mr. J. T. Bagram, and of Lady Peel (who is a very keen gardener) the Society has grown and prospered. So many were the exhibits that there was" not room for all of them in the huge matshed, and a number of plants attracted admiration outside,

Many and varied were the flowers, the President, Sir William Hornell displayed and it would be impossi- who said:- ble to enumerate them all, but we must mention the beautiful cactus- dahlias exhibited by Lady South- orn and the huge mauve double- dahlias sent by Lady Peel, Mrs." Dunbar's selected carnations were lovely too, and so were the violets of Mr. Des Voeux, Mrs. Ho Kom Tong's pots of mignonette 'made one homesick for an English gar- den and the freezias of Mr. W. H. Bell were most delightful
The tall pots of climbing nas- turtlums sent by Mr. Quist wero very much admired. Mr. Des Voeux won prizes for his lovely roses of course; and Mr. Compton's sweet-peas were a dream of de- light.
There was always a group of ad- mirers round the pansies and the table decorations too attracted a lot of attention. Mrs. Bagrem car- ried off the first prize with her big bowl of assorted tulips but Mrs. Butcher (with mauve sweet peas} and Mrs. Bernard Brown (with shaded pink on a tinted table- cloth) ran her very close..
A new and delightful feature was the display of Japanese dwarf trees and miniature-landscapes the mossy stones were unusual and ar- tistic-the dwarf-wisteria in flower of Mr. L. Sheung Ming attracted universal admiration and so did the budding tree of Mr. L. M. Shan and the evergreen tree displayed by Mr. P. N. Law,
