384 TRANSACTIONS OF THE HORTICULTURAL 



assert that Horticultural meetings held within a hundred miles of 

 Sandwich excel in character all others which it has been my good 

 fortune to attend. 



The recent state meeting at Hamilton was only a sample of 

 their general character. Hope yours may not fall below the 

 general average. 



Please extend my warmest regards to numerous friends whom 

 you will have present, and say to all such that we will be glad to> 

 offer them front seats at our great Texas meeting, of which the- 

 inclosed printed matter will convey only a partial hint. 



Hastily yours, 

 W. H. Ragan. 



The Committee on Final Resolutions reported as follows, and 



after the adoption of same the Society adjourned, sine die. 



Resolved, That the thanks of this Society be tendered to Mr. 

 A. W. Orr for the display of plants in the hall; to the choir that 

 has furnished us music ; to the generous citizens who have kindly 

 donated us the use of their hall, and for the hotels which have so- 

 well provided for our temporal wants.
