Resolutions were passed by the convention thanking the rail- 

 road companies for their courtesy in granting reduced fare to those 

 attending the convention ; by the State Society to President Ran- 

 dell and the members of the Grand Chute Horticultural Society, 

 and the citizens of Appleton for the cordial reception extended 

 by them to the members of the State Society and for their efforts 

 to promote the success of the session. 



It was moved by Mr. Kellogg, and unanimously carried, that 

 the ladies presenting papers and Mrs. Sawyer be elected honorary 

 members of the State Society. 



8 P. M. — A session was held in the evening, at which time an 

 address was expected from Rev. Mr. Richardson of Green Bay, 

 but he was unable to keep his appointment, and the final hours 

 were spent in extempore speeches, toasts and social greetings. 



Fruit and Flower Exhibition. — The display of flowers 

 was excellent in variety and quality. There were many rare 

 plants and fine collections of house and green-house plants on 

 exhibition. The strawberry season was long passed, and in con- 

 sequence the usual display of small fruits was meagre, and con- 

 fined mainly to raspberries. The following are the
