We understand that a united meeting of the two com mittees will shortly be held to consider several important suggestions received from Wellington, and also to consider the best methods of furthering the success of the movement.

Treasurer: Mr A. Aitkcn. Hon. Secretary:- Mr S. E. Hughes, Vulcan Lane.

At 1 p.m. today the Spring Show of the Auckland Royal Horticultural Society opened in the Drill-ehed. The building had been tastefully decorated with flower" and evergreens. Pictures have also been given by Major Payne, thereby con tributing to the beauty of the decorations. As mighfc bo expected at this time of the year the show is mainly one of cut flowers and pot plants, it being rather early for a good display of friut and vegetables. Gener ally considered the show is up to the average, in fact there is a slight increase in the number of exhibits staged. Naturally at this season of the yar the roses take the premier position. Hsro there has been a decided increase, and the specimens on exhibition are really first-class. Messrs Hay and Son and E. Lippiatfc exhibit fine collections, both being prize winners. Amongst Mr Lippiatt's collections is figured a nice rose named Sir Robert Stout; which is similar in colour and shape to Pierre Notting. In Mi- Hay's collection we notice a good specimen of Madame George Schwartz. Sir Frederick Whitaker's gardener lias led tho way in the right direction by exhibiting each rose in a small hand glass, which docs away with the crowding together of all sorts of roses in ugly green boxes. Miss C. C. Speight takes tho first prize for a single rose with a tine light specimen. Mrs S. E. Hughesshowssomegood well-grown varieties of pelargoniums, amongst which is a fine specimen of " Madamo Charles Konig." There, is, however, one matter in this class to which tno judges should turn their attention, that is in allowing only single trusses to be exhibited. Of course while grouping is permitted competitors cannot bo bhimed for taking advantage of ifc. Mrs Street, of rarncll, exhibits an excellent collection of calceolarias, I for which she was deservedly awarded ' a ccrMlicnto of merit., and also highly commended. Mr McDonald shows, but not for competition, some line j>conies, rhopodondrons, and clematis blossoms. Mrs Maekollar also exhibits a splendid sample of summer chrysanthemums, evidently grown in the border. Mins Ethel Stead man has oviiicod considerable skill and taste in tho construction of wreaths, croetes, and a lady'n spiay from everlasting flowers. Mr W. Golclio, Domain Ranger, has on ex hibition a large and well-grown collection of antirhinums, and Miss Speight has been highly commended for a few fine calceo larias. Mr Fred Forrest (gardener for Mr Murdoch), who gains first prize for tho beet collection of flowers in the all comers class, chows a few splendid sprays of the lily of the valloy. This is so seldom flowered here that it becomes almost a novelty. In Mr Steadman's collection there is also a good cample of a Ranunculus. In tho cottagers' class Mr \V. May shows a colloc tion of flowers that would have done no dis credit to tho all comers' class, as there are some rather uncommon blooma amongst them. The judges for cut flowers wore Messrs W. C. Wren and T. Bullen, while Dr. Sanders and Mr Charles McDonald officiated as stewards. The stove and greenhouso plants in pots comprise some very good varieties, although tho number of exhibits in this department is falling off considerably. Messrs D. Hay and Son, who secured first prizo for 12 forms, show some really splendid specimens. Amongst thoso worthy of notice are tho Asplenium circularium and Div-gosifo liuin, also a large pot of tho well known maiden hair fern (Adiantmn gracillimum.) Messrs Hay and Son also take tho prize for four lycopods. Amongst these they show a seedling varioty of their own that is well worthy of notice. They have also a very handsome specimen , of L. Wilchinovi. Mr Thomas Cranwell deserves mention for a fino variety of anarajillis in full bloom. It is named the " auto crat." The stem runs up nearly three feet and at the top are three handsomo flowers of a creamy colour striped with pink. Tho potals from tip to tip measure about 8 inches. Amongst the cut flowers some well-grown samples of Maryllis Cleo patra are on exhibition. The Hon. E. Mitchelson has been deservedly awarded Ist prize for a collection of Cinerariue forwarded by his gardener. This gentleman also shows a pine plant with fruit attached. Miss F. Collins has on view a Hue large pot of Lycopodium, which is unusually well grown. The judges for this department and for the fruit are Messrs C. >S. Mc- Donald and James Allan, Mr Gillespic officiating as steward. As previously stated, the fruit exhibits are not numerous. Mr \V. A. Cochrane, of Waikomiti, shows a plate of apples in good preservation named " Dougherty." Mr H. E. Sharp and others also show a number of late-keeping varieties named as follows: —Willis Laifej Nichajack, Hull's Seedling, Chestoa, Yates, Lyn rood's Everlasting, Hockett's Sweet, Etovvah, Shoreland's Eclipse, Late Schell, and Moor's Seedling. As late keepers pay tho best, intending planters would do well to note these varieties. Mr Cranwell has on exhibition a variety of loquats, which the judges state have never, to their knowledge, been equalled for both eize and flavour. The fruit is luscious and full of juice, without the slightest tendency to acridity. This is a variety that will be well worth propagating, as the loquat bears profusely in and around Auckland. Mia Street shows some good gooseberries. Amongst the vegetables are a few plates of fine new potatoes, as well as good heads of cabbage, cauliflowers and rhubarb. Messrs B. Daw son and D. Mclndoe are the judges in this class, Misses Bull and Stimpson acting as stewards. As usual, there are a num ber of elegantly - constructed bouquets of exotic and natural flowers, as well as three neatly designed model gardens. At the end of the building Messrs Carder Brothers, of Ponsonby, have exhibited a large collection of ware from bheir works, in cluding rustic seats, vases, and flower pots. On one of the side tables is shown a specimen of local industry in the shape of Messrs Houlton, Mcßail and Co.'s wines. These comprise still champagne, orange and pine apple wine of good quality.
