OUR NATIVE FLOWER SHOW. 



This year, through the great kindness of the Lord Mayor, 

 Mr. Cohen, the Section is holding its Flower Show in the Town 

 Hall. The Committee feels that this is an ambitious step, and 

 one that will require whole-hearted enthusiasm and self- 

 sacrificing effort to bring to a successful issue. Every member 

 of the Society can do something to make the Show known and 

 to sell tickets. Many, if not most, of our number can assist in 

 the work of securing, receiving, arranging, and displaying the 

 material sent in. This entails a great deal of work on the 

 Thursday evening preceding the Show, as well as during the 

 whole of the time the Show is open. Members who can help 

 in any way, if only for an hour, are earnestly requested to let 

 members of the Committee know as early as convenient. The 

 Town Hall is certainly more convenient and more central, but 

 being so much larger will entail greater effort to make a Show 

 that shall prove attractive to the general public and aid them 

 to appreciate the beauty of our unique Flora. 



The Officers and Committee confidently rely upon the 

 members of the Section to make the Town Hall Show a great 

 success. 



The Show will be held under the patronage of His Excel- 

 lency the Governor, Sir Tom Bridges, K.C.M.G., D.S.O., and 

 will be formally opened by the Lord Mayor, to whom we feel 

 a deep sense of gratitude. 



POSTER COMPETITION. 



Members are reminded that the Section is offering three 

 substantial prizes (three guineas, two guineas, and one guinea) 

 for the best original posters to be used in connection with our 

 Wild Flower Show in October. Full particulars may be ob- 

 tained from Mr. W. Champion Hackett, the Secretary, or the 

 Treasurer.
