PROCEEDINGS 
OF THE 
Twenty-Second Annual Meeting 
f 
OF THE 
Florida State Horticultural Society 
The Florida State Horticultural Society 
held its twenty-second annual meeting in 
the historic city of Daytona, Volusia 
county. Quite a number of parties gath¬ 
ered at Daytona the day before the open¬ 
ing of the meeting as they wanted to be 
sure of good accommodations and enjoy 
the beach at Seabreeze and take in some 
of the attractions of Daytona before the 
meeting began. 
The place of meeting was in the Ar¬ 
mory and all of the sessions were well at¬ 
tended. The evening sessions were es¬ 
pecially well attended by the citizens of 
Daytona. In fact, the number of citi¬ 
zens turning out to the meetings was 
probably as large if not larger than at 
any place where a meeting has been held 
for years. The program was carried 
through with but little variation and all 
the time was taken up. For the lack of 
sufficient time some of the papers were 
simply accepted and ordered printed with 
the balance of the proceedings. 
The good ladies of Daytona entertained 
the lady members of the society at the 
Palmetto Club and all pronounced it a 
most enjoyable affair. The whole mem¬ 
bership of the Horticultural Society was 
treated to a boat ride to New Smyrna 
and an automobile ride from New Smyr¬ 
na to Daytona. It was hard to say which 
was the most enjoyable, and to cap the 
climax of good things the people of Day¬ 
tona assisted by the New Smyrna citi¬ 
zens gave a clam chowder lunch at the 
Ocean House. This House is noted for 
its clam chowder and on this occasion it 
nobly held up its reputation and those 
present had nothing but words of praise 
to utter. The members all expressed 
themselves as having a most enjoyable 
time and will remember their short stay 
with the good people of Daytona and 
New Smyrna with a great deal of pleas¬ 
ure.

meeting was brought up, Orlando, Pa-
