MISSOURI STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



They know just how to tempt the appetite and supply the wants 

 of the inner man. 



It is said if you " toucli a man's pocket, you touch his heart." 



But I am one who believes that the shortest route to a man's heart 

 is reached through his stomach. 



After dinner the meeting was called to order by Vice President 

 Goodman. Our worthy President, Col. Evans, having recently com- 

 mitted T^iatriraony ^ failed to show up. 



This is the first time he was ever known to stay away on account 

 of weather, especially at the summer meetings, when he knew the 

 ladies would be present. 



After spending some time in discussing the horticultural outlook 

 and listening to a very valuable paper on the sacking of grapes, the 

 Society adjourned to meet at the home of Judge Cravens on the third 

 Saturday in June.
