The Wild-flower Exhibition has been very popular, and it is 
continued again this year. Again I beg to tender my sincere 
thanks to those who have interested themselves in the display by 
contributing specimens. A cordial welcome is extended to juniors 
interested in this section, and assistance will be gladly rendered 
in the naming of the plants they collect. Prizes are awarded 
each year to those who have done the best work.
