Healesville Horticultural Notes Highlight Daffodil Breeding and Show Plans
At the Healesville Horticultural Society meeting on August 19 guest speaker Mr. A Overton of Wandin North discussed daffodil breeding and demonstrated hand pollination. He warned four years to flowering and possible outcomes but noted the thrill of success. The secretary reported donations for the Spring Show in November and urged all gardeners to join. A variety of school and community fund donations were listed, with fundraising events like a children’s fancy dress ball cited as benefiting the School Equipment fund. The article also notes bowling club officers, trotting club annual meeting highlights, and a Badger Creek ratepayers meeting with candidates outlining road and drainage policies.
