H. M. Dunlap, of Savoy, 111., opened 

 the meeting. In his remjirks he referred 

 to the daily press calling thtem grafters, 

 but insisted that the^title was botanical 

 and not political. The opening discus- 

 sion was on spraying mixtures and the 

 proper time for spraying. This was led 

 by H. A. Aldrich, of Neoga, 111. 



The election of officers resulted as 

 follows: President, James W. Stanton, 

 Bichview, 111.; vice-president, U. T. Cox, 

 Kockwood, O. ; secretary, T. C. Wilson, 

 Kirkwood, Mo.; treasurer, Wesley Green, 

 Des Moines, la. After the two days' 

 session the delegates, in a body, paid 

 a visit to Shaw 's Garden, under the 

 escort of Superintendent H. C. Irish, 

 and were escorted through the garden 

 by students of the Shaw School of 

 Botany.
