Flower Show,— The autumn exhibition, under the auspices of the Christchurch Hor ticultural Society, will take place to-morrow at the Oddfellows’ Hall, and the competition in the various classes promises to be keen. We understand that there will be a number of competitors for the extra prizes to be given for fruit by the president, Mir Wm Wilson, and ■ his Honor the Superintendent, and that a number of new varieties of potatoes will also be- exhibited. Some splendid bunches of black Hambro’ grapes will be shown at this exhibition, from the vinery of the president of the society. Bunches weighing between four and five pounds weight of the largest grapes which have yet been produced in Canterbury, will be shown against some other splendid grapes of several varieties expected to bo exhibited, especially some beautiful high flavored black muscats, which in point of flavor surpass all other grapes in cultivation. There will also be exhibited two hills of hop bines on six poles from eighteen to twenty feet high, covered with a profusion of hops, greatly surpassing, it is said, anything of the kind which has yet been shown in Canterbury. These six poles will be but a small part of over 2500 poles from the same grounds all equally productive, and will, of themselves, amply repay a visit to the flower show.
