Meeting of the Executive Committee. 231 



Horticultural Society. I was told Ity a geutleman thoroughly con- 

 versant with the fjicts that he bel'.eved, and had good evidence, that 

 the exhibits that California made in the Palace of Horticulture at 

 Xew Orleans had turned into Southern California alone more than 

 thirty millions of dollars since that time — a result which can be set 

 down to the credit of this Society. That fair was not alone in the 

 interests of Southern California, but in the interests of industry in 

 the southern states and the northern states. But I can not dwell 

 upon this. In parting, ladies and gentlemen, I think I voice the 

 views of the members of the Society when I express thanks for the 

 cordial and hearty manner in which we have been received through- 

 out the length and breadth of California. The American Horticult- 

 ural Society is now adjourned.
