adopted by the association.
WHEREAS. Florida is prominently horticul-
tural State and depends very largely for it's fut-
ure development on a general dissemination OF
horticultural knowledge, and
WHEREAS we believe that the proceedings and
papers of the State Horticultural Society embody
the best experience and thought of the advanced
horticulturists of the State, therefore
Resolved That we respectfully ask of the Leg
islatnre to have at Ie st 1900 copies OF the same

tous distribution among the citizens OF the State.

The report of the Committee on Final
Resolutions was then presented and read,
as follows:
Chairman Florida Horticultural Society:
Your Committee on Final RESOLUTIONS beg leave
to submit the following;
FIRST, We cheerfuly extend to the ladies of Or
lando and vicinity a vote of thanks for their val
liable aid and Floral disp ay in making the meet
ing pleasand and enjoy
SECOND, To the Farmers and Fruit Groves AS
socation our thanks for their provision of a COM
modious room, etc., in which to hold our meet
ngs.

tended to our faithful, efficient chairman for his
impartial manner and wise decisions rendered in
the discharge of his arduous duties. ~

tares the voice of this body is as one voice

FIFTH For all courtesies extended to us by

tertain the kindest remembrance.
SIXTH, That copies of these resolutions be pub
lished in the leading papers OF the State And
with this request to the press we extend our
grateful thanks for their continued support of
this cause which must rebound to the best inter
est of the farmers and fruit growers of Florida

among the dying leaf stalks that form
network below the crown of the tree.
This same lattice-work in palmetto
stems makes an excellent trellis upon
which to grow the various species of
night-blooming cereus, which will root in
the fibrous material and G. ow and bloom
very satisfactorily. The crown of the
palmetto, if not too high, will also afford
them much protection against winter
frost.
Many people desire to know what is the
best exotic palm for home culture. While
wecannot answer this question positively
as vet for Florida, it is of interest to
know that in the Mediterranean region,
the Canary Island Date (Phgnix canari-
ens1s) is acknowledged to be the finest
and altogether the most satisfactory ex-
otic palm ever introduced there. 1t is
perfectly hardy, has a rich, luxuriant
verdure, in strong contrast to the arid
and dull, whitish green of the common
date, and not the least among it's at
fractions is it's great size, the heads being
often fully double the size of the common
date At the Ocala meeting, Mr.. Edmund
Hart exhibited leaf over twelve feet
long from his fourteen year old tree at
Federal Point.
Among herbaceous plants that deserve
more attention than they receive we may
mention the Cannas, especially Crozy's
hybrids and the Japanese Iris. This Iris
can be had cheaply and in a wide range
ofvareities. Itgrows luxuriantly wherever
it can obtain reasonable amount of
moisture, though it is entirely at home
even in strictly submerged land, and it re-
pays the small care it requires by a boun-
tiful profusion of bright flowers, six, eight
and even ten inches in diameter.
In conclusion wish to direct attention
to the great opportunities possessed by
| those who have moist woodland near
their homes, by clearing out the under
growth, many choice exotic may be
grown which would need greenhouse
treatment in the open.
l have growing in such places, not only
the Royal Palm, but among Others the
African Oil Palm (Elaeis) and the Raphia
nifira of Madagascar, untouched by
last winters frosts, which destroyed such
nearly hardy plants as the Chinese Hibis-
Gus by the score in open ground. The
Raphia when full grown is one of the
most magnificent of palms. A short
trunk is crowned by upright leaves fifty
feet in length and the flower stalks are
said to be sixty feet long. A single win
ter's immunity does not prove that this
palm can be naturalized, but it is sug-
gestive fact nevertheless. In such place
last year plarted few greenhouse ferns
and now find self-sown seedlings spring
ing up here and there, and quite holding
| their own with the native vegetation,
while roots of the Japanese climbing fern
Qygodium) are now sending up new vig-
orOus stalks that are climbing over the
bushes with all the appearance of being
entirely at home

members to suggest other and additional
ways of beautifying our gardens and
grounds, their object will be accomplish

Meeting adjourned until O'Clock.
FRIDAY, Pm.
Meeting called to order by the Presi-
dent, in the Y. M. c. A. rooms.
The report of Vegetable Committee was
called for, Mr. E. O. Painter, chairman of
the committee read his report [This re-
port will be published next week.
The question of die-back in tomatoes,
Irish potatoes, etc, was discussed, but no
conclusion arrived at as to it's cause or
cure Someone thought it more frequent
on new land, but others were troubled
with it on land that had been in cultiva-
ton forty years. Mr.. Hargrave stated
he had been successful in raising Irish
potatoes during January, February and
March without trouble of die-back and
had succeeded in keeping them through
the summer. Mr.. Albright had succeeded
in keeping them by spreading them out
on the cellar floor, also had the same
result with onions.
The report of the Committee on Orna-
mertal plants being next in order, Mr.. Q.
Albright read paper of considerable
length on ornamenting lake fronts with
"Floral Hotel" in view:
Mr.. Theo. l.. Mead concluded the report
by reading the following:
Mr.. President and Members the Florida Horti-
cultural Society.
Your committee has to report a satis-
factory increase in the interest shown in
ornamental gardening for the year, and
that more than ever before. The florists
of our State are at once satisfying and
stimulating the desire of our people for
rare novelties from all parts of the world.
But we shall have always to depend
largely upon the efforts of amateurs in
the testing of new plants as they can
spare more time and give more undivided
attention to the varied wants of these
welcome strangers than is possible to
men in active business, and necessarily
occupied in raising the staple articles OF
horticultural trade. A good illustration
of this is the wonderful cactus garden of
a wealthy winter resident of Lake Worth.
This is said to be more extensive and
complete than anything of the kind in
the world, with the exception of the cele-
brated Arizona garden at Monterey, Cal.
The permanent success of such a garden
in our moister climate, would not fail to
encourage many to vary the aspect OF
their pleasure grounds with beds of this
grotesquely attractive plant.
But more attention should be paid to
our native plants than is often done.
What can be more striking, for example;
than a close set hedge or wall of our
Spanish Bayonet. yucca Albifolia,) after
it has grown twelve or fifteen feet in
height, the suckers and branches forming
living chevaux de frise, yet crowned
with all the grace that thousands OF
creamy lily blossoms can add to it's other
wise, somewhat, forbidden aspect An
admirable example of this may be seen by
passers by in Mrs. Westcott's garden in
this city.
