The following letters from the Omaha Commercial Club and the 

 Omaha Florist Club were read by the Secretary: 



OMAHA, January 15, 1906. 

 Mr. Lewis Henderson, Secy Omaha Florist Club, Omaha, Neb. 



Dear Sir: The Commercial Club of Omaha, representing the gen- 

 eral business and professional interests of the city, desires to extend, 

 through you, to the Nebraska State Horticultural Society, an invita- 

 tion to hold its July meeting in Omaha. We hope you will make this 

 invitation a hearty and cordial one, and assure the members of the 

 Society that Omaha will be delighted to have them here and get the 

 benefit of their special knowledge on a subject of so much interest to 

 our citizens. 



We have in Omaha a splendid park and boulevard system in 

 which considerable attention has been given to the development of 

 flowers, plants and shrubs, and we are anxious to have the opinion of 

 the members of the state body in this direction and their suggestions 

 as to what may be accomplished in the future. We also have in Omaha 

 a large number of private places, such as lawns and conservatories, in 

 the care and development of which the members of your Society are 

 interested and which we would be glad to have them see. For all of 

 these reasons and for the additional reason that Omaha is always 

 pleased to welcome the members of any society in our state, we ask the 

 State Horticultural Society to meet with us in July. 



Yours very truly, 



E. J. M'VANN, Commissioner. 



OMAHA, NEB., January 11, 1906. 

 We, the Omaha Florist Club, in session assembled, herewith 

 extend a hearty invitation to the Nebraska State Horticultural Society, 

 to hold their Summer meeting in Omaha during the Summer of 1906, 

 and if accepted, we promise to make the meeting as pleasant and 

 comfortable as possible. Respectfully, 



J. J. HESS, President. 



LEWIS HEXDERSON, Secretary.
