In the Fruit Pavilion: Montville.

A recess containing a fine display of other fruits is surrounded by cases of pines, bananas, papaws, citrus and custard apples to form the main part of the district display forwarded by the Montville Fruitgrowers Association. As is natural for a district which has for many years gained the citrus shield at the State exhibition, a fine collection of citrus fruits comprising thirty-one varieties is presented to the public. The quality of frui is not quite as fine as previously, but the organisers say that the reason for this is the fact that the old orchards which have given such wonderful products in the past are now practically finished, and it was to the young orchards that the society had to look for the display. Nevertheless the 28 cases, half of which are mandarins, are a pleasing sight. A nice trophy
