new relationship that will lead to better 
understanding. 
Discussion. 
Mr. Hume: What action do you care 
to take on the suggestion made,by Mr. 
O'Hara. 
Mr. Sader: What are the conditions 
that are made by -which we can exhibit 
in California? 
Mr. Hume: I do not know, but I have 
no doubt the conditions set down by the 
Citrus Exchange are those that the grow¬ 
ers of the State could well comply with. 
The details have not been laid before us. 
Mr. O’Hara. Simply that fruit leav¬ 
ing Florida shall have Florida inspection 
here and California inspection in Cali¬ 
fornia, and that it is taken directly from 
the car to the exhibit building and not 
put through any fumigating process, and 
there shall be no rule that a shed shall 
be built especially for Florida fruit, thus 
placing a stigma on it right away. Brief¬ 
ly, that is what the conditions are. 
I came to your State a few weeks ago 
and I am very much interested in it. I 
got the Florida sand in my shoe, and I 
sent a big bunch of Florida moss back 
to New York for my wife's studio, and 
what with the sand in my shoe and a 
bunch of moss in my wife’s studio, I was 
moved to buy a few acres for myself and 
I want Florida to be represented, and to 
be represented in a manner worthy of 
her. (Applause.) 
Mr. Gaitskill: It seems to me that we 
should show our products wherever we 
can. I think there is no state in the union 
can compare with us when we are given 
a fair chance. I think we can safely say 
we sanction what the Florida Citrus Ex¬ 
change demands, and I move we give 
Mr. O’Hara what he asks for to go to 
California with. 
Mr. Hume: Please tell us just exactly 
what it is you want, Mr. O’Hara, and I 
am sure there will be a second to that 
motion. 
Mr. O’Hara: I merely want to be able 
to tell Governor Trammell that together 
with the endorsement of several other 
bodies, the Horticultural Society also is 
favorable to having an exhibit in 1915 in 
California, provided the conditions are 
complied with as enumerated by the Cit¬ 
rus Exchange. 
Mr. Hume: I think that puts the mat¬ 
ter briefly before us. (Motion seconded). 
Those in favor please say “aye”; opposed 
“no.” The motion is carried. 
Mr. O’Hara: I have just been told 
that there is a telegram at the hotel for 
me, and that may mean that perhaps the 
embargo has been raised.
