Final Resolutions 
Whereas, There will be a hearing in 
Washington, D. C., on May 15, 1922, be¬ 
fore the Federal Horticultural Board, at 
the request of persons and agencies who 
oppose the continued enforcement of 
Quarantine No. 37, and who desire that 
this Quarantine be repealed, and 
Whereas, The repeal or modification of 
this quarantine would be inimical to the 
horticultural interests of Florida and the 
entire nation, therefore 
Be It Resolved, By the Florida State 
Horticultural Society in its Thirty-Fifth 
Annual Session, at Lakeland, Florida, 
held May 4, 1922, that it is strongly 
opposed to the repeal or any modification 
of Quarantine No. 37 which will in any 
way interfere with its present effective¬ 
ness. 
Be It Further Resolved, That the Pres¬ 
ident, or an alternate named by him, be 
instructed to attend this hearing as a rep¬ 
resentative of this Society. 
Resolved, That the Florida State Hor¬ 
ticultural Society extend their apprecia¬ 
tion to the members of the Lakeland 
Chamber of Commerce for handling the 
local arrangements of the meeting and 
furnishing a convention hall and motor¬ 
cade, also a banquet to the Citrus Canker 
Inspectors and for their courtesies to the 
members of the Sorosis Club for decorat¬ 
ing convention hall with flowers each 
day; to Mrs. George Peterkin of Lake¬ 
land, Florida, for her untiring efforts in 
the success of this meeting; to all of the 
citizens of Lakeland for their hospitality / 
and support; to the Lake Wales Cham¬ 
ber of Commerce for the invitation to the 
fish fry following the adjournment of 
the Convention; to the newspapers in 
Lakeland and also throughout the State, 
for their co-operation in keeping the ac¬ 
tivities of the Florida State Horticultur¬ 
al Society before the public; to the speak¬ 
ers for their assistance rendered in mak¬ 
ing the programme interesting and in¬ 
structive; to the officers for their time 
and effort in arranging the programme 
and carrying on the work of the Society. 
Whereas, So long as free range for live 
stock is permitted in Florida the horticul¬ 
tural and agricultural development of the 
State will be greatly handicapped, and the 
beautification of our highways and lawns 
with shrubbery and flowers cannot be ac¬ 
complished, therefore, 
Be It Resolved, by the members of the 
Florida State Horticltural Society in the 
Thirty-Fifth convention at Lakeland, on 
May 4, 1922, that we urge all who are 
in sympathy with the development of the 
State’s resources to work for enactment 
of a law that will permit the people in any 
county to vote for a stock law which will 
require live stock owners to keep all of
