Place of the Next Meeting — DlsGusslon. 127 



President Earle, of Illinois — We are not now restricted. We 

 can go to Canada, California or Florida and yet feel that we are 

 within the limits of our jurisdiction. I think, however, that while 

 we may appropriately discuss this question, and ascertain the feel- 

 ings of members, that Jt would be premature for us at this time to 

 decide. 



3Ir. Peffer, of Wisconsin — I do not think we could find a better 

 place than Chicago or Milwaukee for our next meeting. 



Mr. McClave, of Michigan — I can fully indorse Mr. PeflPer's sug- 

 gestion. 



3Ir. Babcock, of Arkansas — Either Louisville or Cincinnati would, 

 perhaps, suit more of our members than other points that have been 

 named. 



Mr. Hobbs, of Indiana — In view of its excellent railroad and ho- 

 tel advantages, I do not believe there is a better place than Indiana- 

 polis for such a meeting. 



Mr. Samuels, of Kentucky — There is no better place than Louis- 

 ville. 



On motion of Mr. Babcock, of Arkansas, the subject was referred 

 to the Executive Committee. 



Secretary Pagan, of Indiana — I should like to publish, in our 

 next volume of Transactions, as complete a roster of officers of im- 

 portant horticultural societies as possible. I find this to be an in- 

 teresting and valuable feature of our published reports. Will mem- 

 bers please aid me in securing these lists? 



Major Evans, of Missouri — As chairman of your Committee on 

 Excursions, I have arranged with the L. & N. Railroad for mem- 

 bers of the Society to go to Pass Christian on Tuesday next. The 

 fare for the round trip will be $L75, which will include dinner at 

 the Mexican Gulf Hotel. 



The Society then adjourned to meet at Horticultual Hall at 10 

 A. M. to-morrow.
