NATIVE FLOWER STUDIES.

Miss E. Harris, of Nile street, whose paintings of native flowers have achieved a colonial reputation, is seeding to the Exhibition, at the request of the Commissioner of the West Coast court, a collection of twelve ; studies of native flowers. Many people are under the impression that New Zealand has few native flowers, but the collection which is being sent by Miss Harris should dispel that fallacy. A great many varieties have been most artistically grouped together, in some cases the surroundings and conditions under which the flowers grow being depicted in the baok ground. Two pahols of Antarctic flowers have also been painted by Miss Harris, and these will be hung in the art gallery.
