THE ANNUAL DINNER. 
The dinner of March 8 may well be voted a great 
success. There were some sixty people gathered around 
the table at the Faculty Club to honor their well be- 
loved leader, Dr. W. L. Jepson. The evening was a 
particularly joyous one because of the refreshing charm 
and vigor of the honor guest. All present rejoiced to 
see that he had again returned to the land of strength. 
THE MENZIES GARDEN AT SAN RAFAEL. 
On April 6 the Society visited the Barberry garden 
of Mr. R. H. Menzies at San Rafael. There are some- 
thing over sixty species of the genus Berberis in 
the garden, a collection which is the result of many 
years’ gathering. Besides the Barberries the society 
was much interested in the borders of native California 
perennials. 
THE ANNUAL MEETING. 
We were sorry to lose the leadership of our honored 
president on April 12. Due to the pressure of work 
Prof. Kennedy felt that he could no longer guide us 
as he has so ably done for the past few years. To make 
us doubly sorry to lose such a leader, he introduced us 
that evening to the plants of Nevada. Specimens were 
laid out upon the tables for us to examine while Prof. 
Kennedy in his usual delightful manner told us of the 
state in which they were found. 
Officers elected for 1919-1920 are as follows: Presi- 
dent, Dr. W. L. Jepson; 1st Vice-president, Dr. W. S. 
Blasdale; 2nd Vice-president, Mr. A. L. Walker; Secre- 
tary-treasurer, Miss Anna E. Ehlers, 2613 Durant
