Final Resolutions 
Edgar A. Wright, Chairman 
The Florida State Horticultural So¬ 
ciety, in thirty-fourth annual convention 
assembled, is mindful of obligations un¬ 
der which it rests, to numerous individ¬ 
uals, and others, and being grateful, wish¬ 
es to express such gratitude as is possible 
and adequate, and therefore be it 
Resolved, That we thank the city of 
Miami for its hospitality and we lay our 
tribute at her feet in expression of amaze¬ 
ment and wonder at her marvelous 
growth and extreme beauty. That we 
thank the School Board of Miami for the 
generous offer for the use of the school 
building auditorium, where our meetings 
have been held, and we congratulate the 
citizens on the possession of such a build¬ 
ing. That we thank the officials of the 
Miami Beach Aquarium for throwing 
open their doors to members of our So¬ 
ciety, and we recommend them for the ex¬ 
cellent work that has been done in col¬ 
lecting rare specimens of sea life, believ¬ 
ing that this is the best aquarium south 
of New York City. 
That we thank the managers of the Ex¬ 
otic Garden Exhibit, Messrs. Donn, Rea- 
soner and Soar, for the beautiful exhibit 
of exotic shrubs and flowering plants pre¬ 
sented by them in the auditorium of the 
Halcyon Hotel, believing that the equal 
of this exhibit of such exotic plants has 
probably never before been shown in this 
country. And we also appreciate the ef¬ 
forts of packers and individuals for the 
display of citrus and other fruits, believ¬ 
ing that they are the superior in quality 
of any like fruit grown anywhere in the 
world. 
We appreciate the efforts of the U. S. 
Plant Introduction Garden and of Dr. 
David Fairchild, and we commend the 
part he has personally taken in our pro¬ 
gram, and we recommend that the work 
of the Garden be continued and enlarged. 
We thank J. S. Raney, county agent, 
for his efforts in our behalf in making all 
the detailed arrangements for the success¬ 
ful conduct of our proceedings and for 
our comfort, and we congratulate Dade 
county for having as agent a man so ef¬ 
ficient, courteous and untiring in his ef¬ 
forts in behalf of others. 
We thank the railroads of Florida for 
giving us a rate and a half for the round 
trip to the convention. 
We thank those responsible for the of¬ 
fer of automobiles which made the motor¬ 
cade to Redlands possible, and we also 
thank the management of the Deering Es¬ 
tate for throwing open the gates of the 
estate grounds for us. 
And, finally, we thank the officers of 
our society for good work, regretting that 
Treasurer Hart is not here to receive 
these expressions of good will.
