Resolutions 
The following resolutions were passed 
by the Florida State Horticultural So¬ 
ciety during its twenty-fourth session: 
To the Honorable Board of Control, Uni¬ 
versity of Florida, Gainesville, Florida. 
Honorable Sirs : 
We beg leave to submit for your con¬ 
sideration the following resolutions, viz. 
Whereas, There is a great need in the 
State of Florida, of men trained in the 
practical work of treating for scale in¬ 
sects, whitefly and fungus diseases of cit¬ 
rus, and other fruit and nut trees, and 
Whereas, We find that there are com¬ 
paratively few men who have the requi¬ 
site knowledge to handle insects and dis¬ 
eases of citrus and other trees in a prac¬ 
tical and up-to-date way, and 
Whereas , There is a very great de¬ 
mand on the part of Horticulturists for 
men, well equipped with proper knowl¬ 
edge of such work. Therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the Florida State Hor¬ 
ticultural Society respectfully request 
the University of Florida to hold a 
three or four weeks’ course, giving in- 
of fungicides and insecticides. Be it 
further 
Resolved, That if such a course is pro¬ 
vided for by the University, that the 
Florida State Horticultural Society will 
pledge itself to secure the attendance of 
fifteen men competent and willing to take 
such a course of instruction. Be it 
further 
Resolved t That the University of Flor¬ 
ida give the course of instruction at such 
a time of the year as may be practical for 
the faculty of the University to do so 
and at the same time be as convenient for 
citrus and other fruit and nut growers 
as may be. 
Respectfully submitted, 
(Signed) O. W. Connor, 
L. B. Skinner, 
W. J. Driscoll, 
Committee. 
SPECIAL COMMITTEE. 
A meeting of the Special Committee to 
act on the Horticultural Bill as drafted 
by the Legislative Committee of the Flor¬ 
ida State Horticultural Society was held 
on May 5th at the Aragon Hotel. Mem¬ 
bers of the committee present were 
Messrs. Gillett, Taber and Conner rep¬ 
resenting the nursery men, Messrs. Stew¬ 
art, Felt and Painter for the growers. 
Mr. Gillett was elected chairman and Mr. 
Painter secretary. 
The following resolution was offered 
by Judge Stewart: 
Whereas, The time being so limited, 
the bill being so voluminous and so many 
important questions being involved, and 
it being practically impossible to get this 
bill in proper condition to present to the 
Legislature and passed at this session, 
therefore be it
