ton box occasloned am animated discussion
a paper prepared 10y State Representative
Melici was read by the secretary. Mr.. Me-
hex asserted that farmers are the most
independent class Of human beings that ex-
list, except, perhaps, insane people and edi-
tors. Today. as in all time, the tendency is
to make laws most favorable to those who
have selt-nterest enough to push forward
their CLAIMS to recognition. The LAWYERS
commission men. railroads and corporations
OF every kind are trying for all the lawsthev
cam get. Farmers must sow crop of
brotherly cooperation if they would reap
n harvest of favorable results.
Mr. Campbell of the Park nurseries gave
a paper on Winter Blooming Flowers and
Shrubs He said Pasadena must look its
best at the holiday time. All can help in
this by planting such as bloom at this season.
Camelias are fine to plant they grow in the
shade and are one of the best flowers. Hy-
discus is good and of many colors. 1t
should be cultivated. Duchess and La
France are the best roses. Most any tea
rose can be brought to bloom in the winter.
The meeting adjourned to the last Thurs
day in January, when a report of the Red.
lands convention will be made by the del
egates.
