■^g'l Exhibition of Wild-flowers. 125 



Botanic Gardens was very fine, and included representatives 

 of other Australian States. 



It is impossible to record the flowers sent by the various 

 exhibitors, owing to the limited time available for opening 

 them up and arranging their display. The Club is, however, 

 indebted to the following persons for the interest they took 

 in the exhibition, which was shown by the valuable con- 

 tributions forwarded. The principal inter-State exhibitors 

 were: — New South Wales. — Mr. J. H. Maiden, I.S.O., Botanic
