Another entry in the 1913 event
This decorated two-wheel cart, with Miss Q King seated in it, took fourth prize in Class A and was described as “a very effective exhibit”
An advert which ran in the Evening Post in the run-up to the 1913 Battle of Flowers

Above: Mr J Roche’s entry was described by the Evening Post as: “An aviation ground with biplane in full flight. This was undoubtedly the result of much thought and skill, and reflected much credit on the designer. White and red geraniums and pink and white sweet peas were the flowers chiefly used. Little Edith M Roche made a most workmanlike driver”
This entry, by Mr Winter Watts, was awarded the Prix d’Excellence. The Evening Post said of it: “A very original design in the shape of a miniature biplane decorated with sweet peas and asparagus fern. The driver, young Stanley Watts, was attired in the complete costume of a flying man. The machine, which flew the Union Jack and French flag was driven by a belt fixed on the back axle”
■Right: The exhibit by the Victoria Street Boys Brigade won the class for Juvenile Institutions and with it a cheque for four guineas. The theme of a naval wedding was the idea of Mr A B Amy, of the Congregational Church Boys’ Brigade. The EP said of the entry: “In a landau, decorated with white flowers and greenery, and bearing at each corner a sheaf of white lilies, were seated the bride and groom, the former dressed in naval uniform. The carriage was drawn by a number of sailors, and the whole turnout was most realistically got-up”
