tanning all the important matters
transacted during three days aud
| nights. This book will be placed in
the hands of every member of the
society SO that he can see what was
done. 1t will be full of valuable
Information to any fruit-grower in
this state and mahv states adj oining.
When once printed and taken before
the next legislature by a working
committee there will be no trouble
to get a state appropriation to put
the proceedings of future meetings
The second Tuesday in April is
the date Of the next meeting and
Pensacola the place. These east
coasters and South Florida folks
will expect to see lively set of
folks up this way when they come,
and we ask our people not to disap.
point them. We promised them we
would increase the society 800, and
for the next eleven months shall
do work each week to make the
statement good, and ask all the hor-
ticulturists of Middle and West
Florida to aid US. One rule of the
society is: Never go where you are
are not wanted let's all turn out
and help Pensacola.
Every horticultural industry of
Florida was represented at this meet
ing in a creditable manner. Those
who had charge of the various kinds
of machinery used on the farm and
in the grove know how to show up
their good points in fine shape.
There were over $50 members
present and they filed the fine hotels
and many of the private residences.
To Maj. Geo. P. Healey of Seville
belongs the credit of Middle Florida
winning the day for Pensacola. He
made a capital good speech and
brought the house down on: divers
and numerous occasions. When the
next meeting adj ourns every member
will be bold when he asserts that
this is a state institution and such
thing as sectionalism has been COM
pletely wiped out.
The society has secretary MIR.
W. S. Hart, who is an honor, for he
is worker early and late and "leaves
no stone untUrned" that will make it
otherwise than pleasant for those
around him, and the same might be
said Of his right bower, Mr.. Painter,
Of the De Land Agriculturist. No
better selections could have been
made.
Uncle Sam is looking after the
interest of our young and grow
ing society and sent Messrs. SernigIe
and Taylor from the pomological
apartment. Our brief acquaintance
with them, in carriage drive, showed
to Us that they were "well up" in
the genealogical world and an honor
to the department they represent.
Capt. Murray, an old salt, is one
Of the fixtures Of Ormond and makes
it pleasant for all who visit him.
Such a meeting as this could not
have been held without one or more
''handy men" to show the visitors
the sights and make them feel at
home. That person was there early
and late in the person of c. D. Bacon,
and we'll did he do his duty. He
was the right man in the right place
on this occasion. He is the pro-
prietor of No. Nine, as fine an orange
grove as one would wish to look at.
He makes a speciality of shipping
fine oranges, putting up guava jelly
and semi-tropical fruits. We regret
very much that the trains did not
run so as to have permitted us to
have joined the excursion to his
grove.

son & Price, of the celebrated
