Hart, and a 10 per cent, dividend of $13.95 from the First 
National bank of Palatka, and had $63.95 on hand. He had 
learned from the receiver of this hank in which the society 
had a fund of $139.50 at the time of its failure, that as 
nearly as he could say there would be another dividend of 
15 per cent., which would save to the society about 50 per 
cent, of the entire deposit. 
Resolution by the Executive Committee. 
In abridging for publication the report of Ex-Secretary 
Hart as read at the last meeting of the society, the secretary 
is instructed to place on record in this connection in the pub¬ 
lished report of the proceedings of the society, an expression 
of the high appreciation in which the services of Mr. W. S. 
Jffart as secretary, are held by this committee. 
Catalogeuing Our Reports. 
Report Read by A. II. Manville of Denver, Putnam County, Chairman 
Committee on Catalogue. 
At the Pensacola meeting of the society, (April, 1893), it 
was enacted: 
“That a special committee of five be appointed by the presi 
dent, on catalogue, whose duty it shall be to prepare a cat¬ 
alogue of the fruits of the state on a systematic plan, on the 
same general lines adopted by the American Pomological So¬ 
ciety, showing the relative adaptability to each section of the 
several fruits grown in the slate. The same to be submitted 
at the next annual meeting.” 
In conformity to the above, the following committee was 
appointed: A. H. Manville, L. W. Plank, G. L. Taber, J. H. 
White, R. D. Hoyt. 
The compilation of an initial catalogue of this character, 
having a systematic arrangement at once simple and compre¬ 
hensive, and possessing that accuracy of detail without which 
a work of this kind would be valueless, involves careful 
preparation, extensive correspondence and laborious collation. 
The magnitude of the undertaking will be appreciated by 
those who have assisted in the revision of the fruit catalogues 
Of our older societies.
