PROCEEDINGS 
OF THE 
EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING 
OF THE 
Florida State Horticultural Society. 
The Eighteenth Annual Meeting was 
held in the Board of Trade rooms, Jack¬ 
sonville, commencing Thursday evening 
at eight o’clock. The meeting had the 
largest attendance of any session held in 
Jacksonville; nearly two hundred mem^ 
bers having registered sometime between 
the first and the last day. The pro¬ 
gram was a very interesting one and the 
sessions were all well attended. The 
entertainment furnished by the Board of 
Trade, Ladies’ Friday Musicale and others 
was greatly enjoyed by the members. The 
members evidently thought that Jackson¬ 
ville was the home of the Society as 
when the question of the next place of 
meeting was brought up, Jacksonville was 
unanimously selected.
