PROCEEDINGS 
OF THE 
NINETEENTH ANNUAL MEETING 
OF THE 
Florida State Horticultural Society* 
The Nineteenth Annual Meeting of the 
Florida State Horticultural Society was 
held in the Auditorium of the Windsor 
Hotel commencing on the evening of 
May 1st 1906. 
The opening meeting was unusually well 
attended and the different addresses were 
greatly appreciated by the audience. Not¬ 
withstanding the weather during the 
three days was intensely hot the sessions 
were fairly well attended. 
The latest introduction into the Society 
was the “Question Box,” and it proved 
quite interesting, as will be seen by. the 
printed questions and answers in this 
report. This is a feature that the mem¬ 
bers can take advantage of, even if they 
are not in attendance, by sending their 
cpiestions to the president by mail, which 
will be opened and answered during the 
sessions. 
The Board of Trade delighted the 
members with another one of its famous 
musicales, rendered by the “Ladies 
Friday Musicale.” So very popular are 
these musicales that the commodious hall 
of the Board of Trade building was 
packed to standing room. 
There was a spirited contest when the 
question of the next place of meeting 
came up, between those who wanted to 
come again to Jacksonville and those who 
preferred to visit other parts of the State. 
St. Petersburg was well represented, and 
won the day, so that the Twentieth An¬ 
nual Meeting will be held in the “Gem 
City of the West Coast.”
