slides.

FLOWER SHOW, 1924. This Show was the best yet held i

many public schools came to our aid and forwarded a fine assort- '

labelled. Inter-state Nature Clubs forwarded parcels of flowers. 
Many other branches of natural history were represented and 
many members worked willingly and made the fixture a success. 
The net balance was £35/18/-.
