PROCEEDINGS 
OF THE 
FOURTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING 
OF THE 
Florida Stale Horticultural Society 
The fourteenth annual meeting of the 
Florida State Horticultural Society was 
held at St. Augustine upon the invita¬ 
tion of the council of that city. The 
Society convened in the armory at the 
city building on Tuesday, May 21, 1901, 
at 8:00 p. m., in accordance with the 
published program, and adjourned sine 
die on the following Thursday at 10:00 
p. m. About 140 members were pres¬ 
ent, and it was the generally expressed 
feeling that the interest of the meeting 
itself had never been surpassed, while 
the hearty, thoughtful hospitality of the 
people of St. Augustine rendered it also 
perhaps the most enjoyable in our his¬ 
tory.
