Summer Meeting. 153 



LAST AVORDS. 



Will. II. Barnes. — It is a pleasure for me to meet with the Missouri 

 Society and I shall make it a point to be with you at two meetings a year. 

 The meeting has been a happy one and we have learned many new 

 thing's. There are no lines in horticulture of state, or religion, or poli- 

 tics, we desire to teach people to live better and eat better. All women 

 are horticulturists for they all love flowers. If you like to eat apples or 

 watermelons, you are a horticulturist. T\"e work for the good of human- 

 ity everywhere. 



G. A. Atwood. — I emphasize heartily the resolution appreciating 

 the hospitality of Peirce City. This is a most enterprising public spirited 

 town, and we are proud of her in southwest Missouri. 



Pres. Murray. — Time for adjournment has arrived. I desire to 

 express my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the way the people of Peirce 

 City have entertained us, for the music and drives around your pretty 

 city. This has been a grand, good meeting and I hope good will come 

 from our convening with you and that you will keep up this work and I 

 hope we may meet again. 



On motion, the president declared the meeting adjourned.
