Floral Fiesta

Contributing in no small measure to the cultural side of the Cook Week celebrations was the Floral Festival. In conjunction with the festival, a garden competition was held and more than 60 gardens were entered.

Winner of two sections, Under ¼ Acre, and Garden Established Within Three Years, was Mrs E. Habgood, 68 Abbott Street, part of whose garden is shown above.

Misses H. and M. Spencer's garden took first place in the Over ¼ Acre Section.

President Mrs G. A. Nicholls presented the prizes to the section winners. On her left are Mrs Habgood, the Misses Spencer, Mrs E. Collier (Garden Viewed from Street), and Mr J. Davoren of Columbine (Firms, Commercial, Industrial and Factory).

The festival itself drew spectators by the hundred and after expenses the Community Hall Appeal, to which profits from festival and competition will go, will benefit by more than $1,000.
