Report of Committee on Final Resolutions 
In closing the 28th annual meeting of 
the Florida State Horticultural Society, 
one of the most successful in its history, 
we, the members, hereby return our 
sincere thanks to all those who have 
helped in making the proceedings prof¬ 
itable and instructive, pleasant and en¬ 
tertaining; and particularly do we 
thank: 
1. The people of the City of Tampa 
for the spirit of hospitality they have 
shown in our entertainment. We note 
progress of their beautiful and vigorous 
city in material ways with more than 
formal interest; and see in its certain 
future greater development than has 
yet marked its forward course. 
2. We appreciate the courtesies of 
the management of the Tampa Bay 
Hotel in providing unsurpassed facili¬ 
ties for our meeting both in the regular 
order of proceedings and in amusement 
diversions. 
3. We recognize in the effective 
work of Mr. D. C. Gillett, President, 
and Mr. B. L. Hamner, Secretary, of 
the Tampa Board of Trade, most ef¬ 
fective service for the Horticultural and 
Agricultural welfare of the State. 
4. We realize that in the Florida 
Growers’ and Shippers’ League, under 
the direction of Mr. L. B. Skinner, 
President, and Lloyd S. Tenney, Mana¬ 
ger, a strong organization whose good 
record is but an indication of the possi¬ 
bilities before it; and we appeal to ev¬ 
ery loyal Floridian to extend the larg¬ 
est possible financial assistance to this 
necessary means of protecting and 
promoting our interests and those of 
the State. 
5. To our President, H. Harold 
Hume, and to those sustaining him in 
work before the legislature, we give 
our unqualified approval. We urge the 
members of that law-making body to 
extend to the horticultural and agricul¬ 
tural interests of the State the liberal 
support that the present crisis demands, 
a crisis due to pests and dangers which 
the producers unaided are unable to 
control, but without whose control the 
largest interest of Florida is imperiled. 
6. In the war to the death of the 
citrus canker, we are under lasting ob¬ 
ligations to the well directed efforts of 
Wm. J. Krome, to him as a volunteer 
and to his force of determined assist¬ 
ants, and all who have aided in the suc¬ 
cess so far attained. 
7. In this attack on citrus canker, 
the study and laboratory work under 
the care of Prof. H. E. Stevens, of the 
Agricultural Experiment Station, have 
contributed much technical and essen- 
m 
tial information in tracing causes. 
8. A unique and deserving feature of 
the Society’s meeting has been the var¬ 
ied exhibit of implements and equip¬ 
ment originated by the Florida Grower,
