Report of Committee on Final Resolutions 
Dr. Julian, Mr. Wright and Mr. Bur¬ 
bank, having been appointed by the presi¬ 
dent committee on final resolutions, sub¬ 
mitted the following report: 
Your committee on resolutions with 
sincerity and much pleasure submit the 
following resolutions, all of which are 
more than merited by those mentioned: 
Whereas , The beautiful city of PaJatka 
at our last annual meeting extended most 
graciously a cordial invitation to hold 
our convention this year among her most 
hospitable people, and held forth its ad¬ 
vantages, and whereas, said invitation 
was accepted and all the advantages and 
words of praise have been found to have 
been meager, and her beauty, advantages 
and hospitality to far outshine the 
promises held forth, and whereas, the 
members of this Society have, by the va¬ 
rious organizations of the city, and by 
her citizens, been most adequately pro¬ 
vided for, and most royally entertained. 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That a vote of thanks be ex¬ 
tended by the 27th annual convention 
of the State Horticultural Society to the 
women of Palatka, and to the Woman’s 
Club of Palatka for the entertainment 
and the morning boat trip provided 
for the women and children. 
That a vote of thanks and expressions 
of appreciation be extended to the live, 
active and efficient Board of Trade for 
the carefully planned and admirably exe¬ 
cuted arrangements for our entertain¬ 
ment, and that it is the sense of this body 
that the trade bodies of the various cities 
of Florida can, with profit to themselves, 
emulate the spirit of co-operation shown 
by them; 
That a vote of thanks be extended and 
a debt of gratitude acknowledged to W. 
P. Merriam, Chairman, and his Commit¬ 
tee on Entertainment, Mr. Warner T. 
Hamm, Chairman and his Committee on 
Convention, E. M. Earnest, Howell A. 
Davis and Moses Folsom, Secretary, and 
other members of the Board of Trade for 
their cordial reception, and for the enter¬ 
tainment so thoughtfully prepared with 
a view to our comfort and pleasure, and 
with most profitable educational features. 
That a special vote of thanks be offered 
for the afternoon excursion up the beau¬ 
tiful St. Johns River, which gives greater 
commercial importance to the city of Pa¬ 
latka, and the automobile trips which 
gave to our members an afternoon of 
pleasure, which will ever remain a treas¬ 
ured recollection. 
That to Mrs. R. E. Rose there be ex¬ 
tended our sincere appreciation for the 
beautiful flowers given by her, and which 
gave added pleasure to our opening ses¬ 
sion. 
That a vote of thanks be extended to 
the hosts of the headquarters of our So¬ 
ciety while in Palatka, The Putnam 
House, for their earnest efforts to make 
our stay a most pleasurable one.
