CONTINUATION OF BUSINESS. 



MR. BROWN: I would like to say a word tor the benefit of oar 

 visitors. In regard to the way this meeting of ours has been conducted, 

 — interrupted so many times and changing rooms, etc. We don't 

 usually conduct our meetings in this way, and we don't intend to again. 

 I would like to have our visitors understand our position before going 

 home. 



And now, Mr. Chairman, we have Mr. Greene, the secretary of the 

 Iowa State Horticultural Society, with us this morning. That society 

 has always been a kind friend of ours, and I move that Mr. Greene be 

 made an honorary life member of our society.
