Improvement Fund"), by a voluntary con- 

 tribution not to exceed twenty-five dollars 

 from the firms in both Associations, or 

 others interested in horticulture; said con- 

 tributions to be made within ninety days 

 from the date of this notice, and payments 

 to be made to the Treasurer of the Ameri- 

 can Association, for the express purpose of 

 providing ways and means to secure uni- 

 form horticultural laws, as between one 

 state and another, which in our judgment is 

 only feasible by the appointment of a com- 

 mittee whose duties shall be to secure 

 copies of all horticultural laws now in force 

 in all the states and territories of the Unit- 

 ed States; and to make a digest of the 

 same, to the end that there shall be evolv- 

 ed and created out of this investigation and 

 study, a law that shall develop, foster, con- 

 serve and protect all the interests of horti- 

 culture in all its several divisions, and 

 w^hich shall have the support and indorse- 

 ment of horticultural officers and all the 

 horticultural industries of the several 

 states. And we further recommend that 

 this convention adopt this report and pro- 

 ceed to carry out its provisions by the ap- 

 pointment of a committee of three, which 

 shall consist of one member from the Atlan- 

 tic Coast, one from the Mississippi Valley 

 region, and one from the Pacific Coast, with 

 full power to utilize this fund as in their 

 judgment shall be deemed necessary. And 

 it is further recommended that this report 

 be placed upon the records of both organ- 

 izations.
