Judge LEWIS. We are about to depart for our homes. The people 

 of San Jose are proud to know that such a splendid convention has 

 been held in their city. I was not present when you fixed the place 

 for the next meeting, but understand that it is to be held in Marysville; 

 but wherever it is, we of Santa Clara County wish to say, in the 

 language of Root, " Entreat us not to leave thee or cease from following 

 after thee; for wherever thou goest, we will go; thy God shall be our 

 God, and we shall be one." 



President COOPER. For myself and on the part of the State Board of 

 Horticulture, I feel very much gratified at the attendance, as also at the 

 universal good feeling among all these who have assembled here. 



Adjourned sine die.

 years, the proceedings of the 20th, 21st, 22d, and 23d State Fruit-Growers' Conventions
