RESOLUTIONS. 



To the Officers and Members of the Missouri State Horticultural Society: 



Your committee on final resolutions would respectfully report as 

 follows : 



Inasmuch as this meeting of the Society has been one of the pleas- 

 antest in the history of the Society, we desire to especially thank the 

 Missouri Valley Horticultural Society for the excellent arrangements 

 made for our convenience and comfort. 



We would also thank the management of the Coates House for 

 favors extended on this and other occassions, and also the representatives 

 of the city government for attention shown us. Not for a long time 

 have we had so many visitors from outside our State, and we are truly 

 grateful for the help they have given in making our meeting a success. 

 At meetings of this kind it is always profitable to have the best talent 

 obtainable from our sister states, and we are especially indebted to our 

 visitors at this time. 



In connection with this mention of our program, we would call 

 attention of the Society to the fact that two years from now our or- 

 ganization will be fifty years old, and we recommend that the meeting of 

 1907 be made a great occasion to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of 

 the founding of the Society. 



And last, but not least, having in mind the old saying "that too 

 much work and no play makes Jack a dull, boy," we also recommend that 

 in the future one evening of our sessions be set aside for social inter- 

 course among the members of our Society.
