success in the business was always glad to 
be of assistance to any one who went to 
him for help or advice. The Pinellas 
County Growers’ Association at their an¬ 
nual meeting at Largo in 1918, passed 
unanimously a resolution thanking Dr. 
Julian for his work and advice for the 
growers of Pinellas county. 
Dr. Julian died on April 26, 1920, at 
Clearwater, and is survived by his widow, 
Mrs. Pattie Chenault Julian, and two 
daughters, Mrs. S. C. Elbert, of Birming¬ 
ham, Ala., and Mrs. L. G. Abbott of
