WANTED—A FLOWER SHOW.

How is it that, well-equipped as Ashburton is with the appliances, and characterised as it is by the possession of most of the institutions of modern civilisation, such a pleasant and desir able event as a Flower Show is un known among us? We asked the question a year or two ago, thinking that perhaps some energetic citizen or citizens would take the matter up, and remove the reproach from our midst; bub nothing came of it, and we now return to the charge m the hope that this time we may be successful m etting the ball rolling. Obviously he answer to the query, " "Why do we •lot have periodical Flower and Fruit

howSt is " because there is no Ash burton Horticultural Society." Just so—but why haven't we such a Souiety 1 There .was one once, it is true, but that was more than half-a-dozen years ago, and during all those years much smaller places, such as Rangiora, Prebbfeton, Lincoln, Wairaate, and Geraldine' have been holding their annual exhibitions with much success, to the delight of all lovers of the beautiful, to the benefit of professional florists and gardeners, of cottagers, and amateur horticulturists, and to the not inconsiderable advancement of the best interests of those townships by en couraging and developing a taste for surrounding their. homesteads with charming environments. In and 'Vound Ashburton, and indeed through out the county, there are many villa and cottage "residences surrounded by wellr&epi gardens, but there would, we believe, be many more such under the stimulus of the rivalry which would be supplied. by an annual exhibition of the choice productions of orchard and flower-border and greenhouse; and we are'certain that even this season it would be possible to get up a Show Thich would not a little astonish the public by its excellence. "We have gardeners and amateurs who make a hobby of roses, and others whose speciality runs m the direction of chrysanthemums, pelargoniums, gladi oli, geraniums, fuchsias, pansies, asters, and what not, and yet others who pride themselves especially upon their grapes, their apples, their nectarines, or some other choice and desirable fruity to say nothing of the legion who could exhibit productions of the highest excellsnce m the way of potatoes, cabbages, peas, beans, carrots, parsnips, onions, and all other goodly vegetables. There are, m fact, all the materials for a first-class exhibition, such as could be surpassed m few places m the colony, and indeed m some i,tems, we believe, such as chrysanthemums among the flowers, and apples among the fruits, could not even be equalled. Let us then have a Show by all means, and m order to that let us have a Horticultural Society once more. How to set about it? Well, let somebody take the thing m hand by calling a meeting of all interested; let that meeting appoint a Provisional Committee or Committees to canvass for subscribing members, and draw up rules for the proposed Society, and with a little energy it would, we believe, be possible to get together a hundred members, and a hundred half-sovereigns, and with that number of members, and with JBSO at its command, the Society could forth with, get out a prize schedule for a Show, and could, we are satisfied, start its career with a most successful one

The official reports of medical clinics and universities, the official communication of the Consul-General for Italy at Melbourne; the diploma awarded International, Exhibition, Amsterdam—all these are authentic documents, and, as such, not open to doubt.
