FLORIDA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 
definite expression of appreciation to the 
force at work at the Experimental Sta¬ 
tion in Gainesville, and at the sub-stations 
of the United States Department of Agri¬ 
culture at other points in this State. 
There is no agency at work in Florida 
today more or better calculated to facili¬ 
tate and expedite the work of this Socie¬ 
ty than the work done by these centers 
of activity. The force at work there is 
always courteously and promptly prof¬ 
ferring its services to any and all who 
desire its services and wish to profit by 
its labors and its investigations. There¬ 
fore be it 
Resolved, That this Society wishes to 
give expression to its sense of apprecia¬ 
tion of the valuable services rendered by 
the director and his assistants in the Ex¬ 
perimental Station in Gainesville, and to 
the corps of workers in the sub-stations 
of the United States Department of Ag¬ 
riculture at Orlando^ Miami, Brooksville 
and Orange City. 
While your committee does not think it 
wise or expedient to single out individ¬ 
uals in this State whom the Society should 
honor by special mention, when so many 
are doing splendid service in its develop¬ 
ment, yet we feel that circumstances jus¬ 
tify a departure from this rule, and that 
the Society should extend to Mr. Wm. 
Chase Temple an expression of its sense 
of the obligation under which he has 
placed this Society, by his able and unsel¬ 
fish management of one of Florida’s most 
important organizations for the past 
three years. Therefore be it 
Resolved, That the Society wishes to 
place on record and to extend to Mr. W. 
C. Temple an expression of its debt of 
gratitude for the splendid work he has 
done and the results he has achieved in 
the settlement of some of the most impor¬ 
tant questions that face the industrial de¬ 
velopment of our State. 
Resolved\ That the Secretary of this 
Society be instructed to transmit to Mr. 
Temple a copy of the foregoing resolu¬ 
tion. 
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Professor Rolfs: Our Committee on 
Final Resolutions, inadvertently left off 
something that I am sure they overlooked, 
and I would like to introduce a resolu¬ 
tion to cover it, now: 
“Resolved, That we extend a vote of 
thanks to the DeLand Band for the music 
furnished to the Horticultural Society. 
This music has added much to the pleas¬ 
ure of the meeting. 
“Resolved, That we extend a vote of 
thanks to the orchestra of the opera house 
for music furnished to the Horticultural 
Society. The thoughtfulness of the 
band and orchestra is very much appre¬ 
ciated.” 
I move to pass this resolution. 
Mr. Moses: I second it. Cannot it be 
incorporated in the original resolution? 
I offer that as an amendment to the mo¬ 
tion. 
Mr. Hume : Can we not suspend strict 
parliamentary rules and vote on the mo¬ 
tion and the amendment at the same 
time ? 
(Motion and amendment carried.)
