FLORIDA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 
P. S. I have the pleasure of stating 
that, since the adjournment, President 
Taber has donated to the Society over 
sixty volumes of the back Reports, and 
other members have contributed a few. 
The Secretary will now be able not only 
to restore a complete file, but also to 
present to life members who may sub¬ 
scribe in the future nearly complete sets 
of our Reports. Of the first three years 
and the last two there is still a scant sup¬ 
ply, however, and donations of these to 
the Society will be acceptable.
