THE NATIVE FLOWER SHOW. 



Our show was held this year on October 13th and 14th. 

 As usual, the various Committees were kept very busy during 

 the Thursday evening and all Friday in readiness for the 

 evening. 



The opening ceremony was jjerformed by the Commis- 

 sioner of Crow^n Lands (the Hon. 0. R. Laffer), who marked 

 his sense of the importance of the occasion by making a public 

 announcement of the purchase of the Rocky River property 

 on Kangaroo Island, a purchase w^hich added 9.000 to 12,000 

 acres to Flinders Chase. It is almost needless to add that 

 the announcement was received w^ith cheers. The Section 

 ip delighted to knoAv that the Ministry are taking steps to 

 make the Flinders Chase a success. 



The success of the Show was secured by the untiring 

 exertions of the members who worked so well on the various 

 Committees.

 man), Professor J. B. Cleland, :Mr. E. S. Hughes, Mr. J. F.
