REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS, 



The Vermont State Horticultural Society at its nth annual 

 meeting desires to ])lace on record its appreciation of the courtesy 

 it has received from His Honor, Mayor Burke, and the citizens 

 of Burlington ; from the railroads of the State ; and from all 

 others who have aided in making the gathering interesting and 

 profitable. In particular it expresses thanks to the speakers who 

 have by their aid made this one of the most valuable meetings 

 the Society has ever held. 



The Association urges upon Vermont fruit growers, both 

 present and prospective, the desirability of concentration of ef- 

 fort. The apple growers especially the growing of a few vari- 

 eties of high quality so handled that the fruit may reach the 

 highest possible standard seems to offer the best prospects of 

 satisfaction to the grower in pleasure and financial profit. 



The Association repeats its recommendation of last year for 

 a standard apple box for Vermont of lo x ii x 20 inches. 



The Association believes that extra efifort should be made 

 to bring about cooperative work in sorting and marketing Ver- 

 mont apples. 



We recommend that the Executive Committee appropriate 

 a sum not exceeding $50 to be paid in premiums to children 

 not exceeding 16 years of age for exhibits of fruits and vege- 

 tables at our next annual meeting.

Hitchcock: Following the report I would like to speak in 

 reference to the location of our annual meetings. Several sug- 

 gestions have been made; some think it would be better for the 

 Society to secure a permanent place which would be accessible 

 and that the meetings be held year after year in the same place ; 

 another lot thinks we can make the attempt at increasing our 

 membership and attendance by joining with the State Grange 

 and holding our meetings the same week with it; still others 

 think we should move about the state from place to place with
