The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-05-12

ida State Horticultural Society, he
has left heritage-a heritage that
we shall keep and cherish always
the goodly heritage of his name and
fame.
The sad inroad made in the officials
of this society, since our last meet
ing, by the grim reaper, Death, has
not been confined to the Society's
Chief Executive, but we are also call
ed upon to mourn the loss of another
honored officer, in the person of G. f.
A. Bielby, of the Executive Commit
tee, and also prominent eX-official,
in the person of O. p. Rocks.
1t is, perhaps, outside the province
of your president, to assume to him
self the sad duties that devolve upon
your Committee on Neurology, and
these duties [ shall not attempt to in
fringe upon, but | cannot refrain
from bearing personal tribute, in a
few words, to the high esteem in
which these officers and this eX-of-
fetal of the society were held. Sure
ly in the death of Messrs. Adams,
Bielby and Rocks, we have, in each
instance an eXemplification of the
adage death loves a shining mark"
Their names are inseparably connect
ed with the growth of Florida Hortf-
11,9o
society. Each has done ardent, active
and efficient work toward the adj
vancement of horticultural knowl-
edge, both in writing and practice,
and each will be sadly missed from
the deliberations of this society.
To the families of these, as well as
to the families of all our other de-
ceased members, your Committe on
Neurology will bear due tribute of
our sense of loss, and whatever of
comfort may be derived from our
sympathy.
I feel it due to the society, as we'll
as to myself, to call your attention,
in few words, to the dual official ca
pacity in which circumstances have
seemed to combine to force me to act
for the past eight weeks.
On the Sth of March your secretary,
A. I'll. Manville, was obliged to lay
aside all duties connected with the
secretaryship on account of i'll health,
and, with this meeting so near at
hand, it seemed something of a prob
lem as to how the work pertaining to
the secretaryship was to be effectively
carried on during the interim.
AS is always the case during the
few weeks Immediately preceding
our annual meeting, there was a great
deal of work in sight, and it was fear
ed that any attempt to instill a new
secretary-however efficient-would
make a serious break in the society's
work, on account of the time liable to

either of which Though some more
roundabout than others) may be fol-
lowed, and bring us, finally, to the
same objective point. But a wrong
rOad-one that we have tried and
proved to be wrong-is one that is
continually leading us farther and far
ther from the desired goal.
One of the wrong roads that many
of us have travelled, and one that J.
believe is not often enough pointed
out, is the road of Inadaptation. 1t
lies in the planting of trees and plants
that were never intended by nature
for the locations in which we place
them. The practice of our art, in the
way of experimentation, is laudable
and in every way commendable, if we
will but recognize natures boundary
limits of adaptability, however i'll de-
fined. But, when we overlook or ig
| more these, and attempt, by the prac-
| tice of sheer art, to overrule or sup
plant the DEGREES of nature, she
| laughs at us and mocks us. If we
approach her in humble spirit and ask
her to disclose to us her secrets, she
tells us that some of her laws are in
scrutable, and may not be divulged.
But, that this great primal lesson of
adaptability is one that she has tried
to teach to all humanity, throughout
all ages, and in all the zones. 1t is
written in the growth that she
has placed upon the banks of her
water courses, and on her sandy
plains, and on her mountain sides,
and in her fertile valleys, and in her
nearly sterile deserts, and she says to
us: Go forth and read. She points
out to us that in the planting of her
different seeds, she placed -nem with
with due regard for drought and
moisture, and for heat and cold; and
she quotes to the trite maxim, eff
ye would be apt scholars, ye must be
careful students.'
She tells us that in the practice of
our art we may enlarge her teachings
if we will but recognize her funda-
mental truths; that she will assist us
if we but acknowledge her suprem-
acy; that one of her edicts is this law
of adaptability, which, while we may
never fully understand, we must re-
cognize.
Another wrong road which some of
us have followed almost to point of
disaster lies in too thick planting.
1t looks like such a waste of ground
to cultivate five, or twenty, or fifty,
or one hundred acres with the small
trees planted only at sucn maximum
distances as our better Judgment
sometimes tells us than the large,
bearing trees should occupy; and we
say we will set them out two or three

be involved in the acceptance of the
Office by the appointee, the transfer
ing of the society's records and ef-
fects, and the acquaintanceship with
society matters and methods that
would have to be acquired by the in
coming secretary. [ therefore wrote
to the chairman of your Executive
committee offering to carry on the
secretary's work up to the time of
this meeting, if the Executive Com
mittee so desired; which offer was ac-
cepted. Whatever work [ have since
done in the rather anomalous posi-
ton in which [ have been placed, has
been freely done, and, in bringing
this matter to your notice, it is not
with the object of taking to myself
your credit for work performed, but
rather that the attendant circum-
stances might prove an excuse if
any is needed-for work that, in the
ordinary course of events, might, per-
haps have been better performed.
Referring further to the resignation
of the secretaryship by Mr.. Manville
[ would state that though this resig-
nation was placed in my hands on
March 8th no official action has been
taken on it.
am very glad to state that Mr..
Manville is able to be in attendance
at this meeting (Which at one time
appeared doubtfuD, and that he will
make the secretary's report for the
past year in person.
Whatever action this society may
see fit to take upon his resignation
can perhaps be better decided upon
after this report is made, but, | am
sure that the society will, in any
event, see fit to recognize, in some
appropriate manner, the great
amount of arduous work that he has
performed for it, both as one of it's
founders, and, for the past four years,
as it's secretary.
1t has sometimes seemed to me that,
in the narration of our horticultural
experiences, we are apt to lay too
much stress upon our successes and
to-. forget to say anything about our
failures. It is undoubtedly evry nice
and tending to rebound to our own
personal credit to be able to say that
we did so-and-so, and achieved such
and-such, magnificent results; but,
would not the educational purposes,
to which this society lays claim, be
equally well or better subserved if we
would oftener point out the wrong
roads, we have individually Travelled,
as well as those we deem to be the
right ones.
I speak advisedly when [ say
'those we DEEM to be the right ones,
for there are often several roads that
trend in the same general direction,

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, April 6.-Interest in the
selling of stocks was very languid on the
Stock Exchange to-day, and the market
was apparently afflicted with an attack
of spring fever. Many of the stocks
which are usually dealt in had not a
single sale recorded to their credit, and
others showed only few odd lots with
not one full share lot to make quota
ton. Fluctuations in the main were
very narrow, not Offering sufficient mar
gin to invite operations even by the pro
fessional traders. The dullness seemed
to be reflected in part from other centres,
London showing nothing doing in Am
orleans, the stagnation being so marked
that London agents Of some of the nous
es in the Street ceased cabling. Chicago
was taken up with her municipal cleo
ton and Boston and Philadelphia were
very quiet. Such dealings as occurred
were subject to entirely fictitious influ-
ences, and were concentrated in few
stocks. The absence of the heavy iqui-
dation that has characterized some recent
markets was. however, marked and the
Railway list held remarkably firm.
Railway and miscellaneous mortgages
held firm on moderate dealings. The
high grade liens figured prominently IN
the operations, but the variations were
not important The general undertone
was firm, but some few noteworthy de-
clines were registered in the inactive
issues. The aggregate sales were 81
100000. Governments were moderately
active but unchanged in value. The
sales were $15,50O.
