WILD FLOWER SHOW. 



Our second show, held in the Society's Rooms, on Friday 

 and Saturday, September 23 and 24, 1921, proved a great 

 success. The spirit of industry shown by the various Com- 

 mittees was admirable. Unfortunately, there is no space to 

 record the whole of the names, but everyone v/orked with 

 enthusiasm to have the show opened at the advertised time. 

 The Minister of Industry, the Hon. William Hague, opened the 

 show with a cheering address, in which he expressed the 

 sympathy of the Ministry with the aims and objects of the 

 Society, making special reference to the need for preserving 

 our native fauna and flora. Incidentally he expressed warm 

 approval of the work of our Flora and Fauna Committee in 

 connection with Flinders Chase on Kangaroo Island. 



Our thanks are again due to the Public Schools of our own 

 State, who supplied the bulk of the extremely fine show of 

 native flowers. 



Flowers were received from the following Schools: — 

 Belair, Millicent, Hermitage, Wood's Point, Inman Valley, 

 Brinkworth, Sedan, Karoonda, Mylor, Owen, Alawoona, Ade- 

 laide High School, Farina, Upper Sturt, Crafers, Naturi, Quorn, 

 Cherry Gardens, Bordertowu, Pinnaroo, Willunga, Lameroo, 

 Mount Compass, Wolseley, Tweedvale, Victor Harbour, Coro- 

 mandel Valley.
