TOUR OF GRANGERS IN CALIFORNIA. 205 



Raymond is not only delightfully situated but is admirably kept. 

 It is one of those hotels that are plain but luxurious. One feels as 

 though everything to be desired in a hotel was there. The scenery 

 grew upon me every day, and I can now view it in my mind's 

 eye as the finest I have ever witnessed. 



I should like to describe some private places, but having taken 

 more than the allotted time must close by commending California 

 to all who have a fondness for the unlimited charms of Nature, 

 which seem so ever varied over that State. 



A vote of thanks to Mr. Hadwen for his interesting paper was 

 proposed, and as this was the last of the series of meetings for 

 the discussion of horticultural subjects the present season, 

 "William D. Philbrick moved that the vote include the thanks of 

 the Society to the Committee on Publication and Discussion for 

 the interesting and instructive papers and lectures which they 

 had provided, and in this form the vote was unanimously passed.
