WILD FLOWER SHOW 
and Natural History Exhibition. 
STOW HALL, FLINDERS STREET, ADELAIDE. 
Friday and Saturday, October 12 and 13, 1934. 
As the Town Hall was not available, the Show was held in 
the Stow Hall. The visit of the Duke of Gloucester proved a 
great counter-attraction, and the attendance was consequently 
much below that of former years and the financial results were 
correspondingly low. For the first time in the history of our 
Society there was a small debit balance. 
The exhibits were quite on a par with those of former years 
and the many branches of natural history were fully represented. 
In particular, collections of native flow r ers from all the other 
States but Tasmania were on exhibition. 
The band of faithful workers who toiled so hard to make 
the exhibition a success included so many of our number that it 
is impossible to thank them individually. Each of the 30 sec- 
tions of the Show had enthusiastic members working willing- 
ly and it is most regrettable that visitors were attracted else- 
where. 
The decoration of the Hall and general display was a great 
credit to the ladies who undertook the task. The exhibits of 
native flowers from the schools were equal to those of former 
years, the prize-winners being: — 1: Basket Range; 2: Yeelanna; 
3: Kuitpo; 4: Aldgate; 5: Nadda; and 6 Myponga. To these 
•schools books have been sent as prizes. 
Mr. Black, with Mr. Colquhoun, kindly judged the exhibits. 
Other Sections that may be mentioned were the Cultivated Native 
Flowers in which Messrs. Burdett and Ashby showed collections 
of immense variety; the Agricultural Exhibits by the Agricultural 
College and Wait Institute; the Insect Collections, shown by Mr. 
Womersley, of the Museum and the Aboriginal exhibits by Mr. 
Tindale, from the Museum; collections of Shells shown by the 
Malacological Society, and explained by various members, in- 
cluding Messrs. Kimber, Godfrey and Cotton.. Mr. Kimber, 
Prof. Harvey Johnston and Dr. Woods gave interesting lectures.

exhibits.
