FINAL RESOLUTIONS. 

 To the Missouri State Horticultural Society : 



Your Committee on Final Resolutions respectfully submit the 

 following report : 



Whereas, This meeting of the Society has rightfully taken its 

 place amongst the long list of its most pleasant and profitable ses- 

 sions. We desire to especially thank the members of the local 

 Horticultural Society and the citizens of Moberly, who have assisted 

 Messrs. Sinnock, Holliday and Ratliff in providing the splendid 

 arrangements for the convenience and comfort of the delegates. 

 We would also thank the florist and members of the local Society 

 for the beautiful decorations in the hall, and express our fullest 

 appreciation to the Tedford Orchestra, who have so well and pleas- 

 antly entertained us with the musical part of the program; also, 

 Miss Blanche Dix of Jefferson City, who so creditably rendered the 

 recitation to the delight of us all. We would also thank the Com- 

 mercial Club for so kindly placing their rooms at our disposal for 

 committee work. Also, the judge of the court for the use of the 

 court room in which to hold the session. Also, the hotels for the 

 rates and attentions they have accorded us. We would also ex- 

 press our appreciation to the railroad companies for their proffered 

 one and one-third fare for the round trip, and regret that a suffi- 

 cient number of certificates were not issued to give us the advant- 

 age of it, and in this connection desire to reiterate our position, 

 calling the attention of the railroad companies within the State to 

 the fact that this Society, in view of of its work and influence in de- 

 veloping the horticultural interests of the State, is entitled to a 

 one fare for the round trip to all its annual and semi-annual meet- 

 ings. Geo. T. Tippin, 



L. V. Dix,
