RESOLUTIONS CONCERNING PRESIDENCY OE AMERICAN

H. B. McAfee moved that the Horticultural Society recognize the 

 courtesy of the American Pomological Society in electing Mr. L, A, 

 Goodman, one of our members, to the office of its President ; that our ap- 

 preciation of the honor so conferred be duly expressed, and that Mr, 

 C. H. Dutcher be appointed to draw up the form of such expression 

 suitable to go on the records. 



The motion was seconded and unanimously carried. 



Whereas, Our Executive Committee, through our Secretary, ex- 

 tended an invitation to the American Pomological Society to hold its 

 1905 meeting in Kansas City under the auspices of our State Society, 

 which invitation the Pomological Society accepted, and honored our 

 State by holding its last session at the Coates House, in this city, in 

 September last; 



Resolved, That the State Society, in convention assembled, hereby 

 extends to the American Pomological Society our profound thanks for 

 the honor thus conferred on our Society and State, for the great uplift 

 their wise counsels gave us, for the inspiration, the broader and higher 

 conceptions of all that horticultural work and methods mean, which we 

 derived from their presence and enthusiasm ; and, furthermore, that we 

 are thankful for and congratulate ourselves upon the fact that they hon- 

 ored our State and Society by electing a citizen of Missouri, L. A, 

 Goodman, an honored member and the Secretary of the Missouri Horti- 

 cultural Society, to the office of President of so notable an institution as 

 the American Pomological Society. 



Signed, C. H. Dutcher.
