PROCEEDINGS. 



OF THE 



Horticultural Society of Northern Illinois. 



The Horticultural Society of Northern Illinois held its Twenty- 

 first Annual Meeting in Turner Hall, Galena, commencing at 10 

 o'clock, Tuesday morning, September 4, 1888. 



Third Vice-President, J. V. Cotta, called the meeting to order, 

 that duty having fallen to him, owing to the death of D. W. Scott, 

 President, and the absence of the first and second Vice-Presidents. 



Mr. Bryant moved that a committee be appointed on order of 

 business, also a committee to draw resolutions on the death of Pres- 

 ident Scott. Motion prevailed, and the following committees were 

 named : 



On Resohitions: A. Bryant, J. S. Rogers, Mrs. W. F. Crummer. 



On Order of Business: E. W. Graves, A. R. Whitney, D. J. 

 Piper. 



It was suggested that while the Committee on Order of Business 

 were making up their report, the Society take a short recess, and the 

 Chairman so ordered. 



The committee signifying their readiness to report, the Presi- 

 dent called the meeting to order again and the following Order of 

 Business was recommended : 



First — As the attendance was small, and the probabilities were 

 that more would be in for the afternoon session, the committee pro- 

 posed an adjournment until two o'clock, and that the following pro- 

 gramme be taken up at that hour.
