FINAL RESOLUTIONS 
We shall always regard this, the 36th annual meeting of 
this Association as one of the most pleasant and profitable in 
the history of the organization. 
We feel especially indebted to the Entertainment Commit¬ 
tee, Messrs. Weber, Schuette, Irish, and their efficient corps 
of lady assistants for the delightful entertainment furnished 
the members of the association and the visiting ladies during 
our stay in this city. 
We shall recall, in after years, the enjoyable trip down the 
Mississippi, on the steamer Alton, as one of exceptional 
delight and pleasure. 
We take this occasion to express to Mr. Weber and the 
other members of his Committee our sincere gratitude for the 
many courtesies extended and the pleasant recreation 
afforded us during this session. 
Nor must we fail to include in these resolutions the almost 
inexpressible pleasure afforded us by Dr. Trelease and the 
staff of the Missouri Botanical Gardens, by their invitation to 
the members to visit this unrivaled institution of which they 
are the custodians and guardians. Sruely it was a veritable 
“land of piue delight” and the donor doubtless has looked 
down on us in spirit from the land where the “fields stand 
dressed in living green and never withering flowers abide!” 
Coupled with this we make mention of the charming ban¬ 
quet at which we were made the special guests—an occasion 
that was, indeed, a “f.east of reason and a flow of soul” to each 
of the participants.

EXCURSION TO STARK BROTHERS’ NURSERIES AND 
[ORCHARDS OFFICE AT LOUISIANA 
One of the enjoyable and unscheduled features of the 
entertainment side of the program was an excursion on 
Saturday morning by some sixty-five members of the Associa¬ 
tion to Louisiana, the headquarters of the Stark Brothers’ 
Nruseries & Orchards Company. President Stark, at one of 
the previous sessions, gave a general invitation to the Associa¬ 
tion to visit their headquarters. He not only opened wide 
the hospitable doors of his organization, but he provided 
means of transportation from St. Louis to Louisiana. This 
was not only inviting your guest, but taking him along with¬ 
out expense. 
The excursion was exceedingly instructive and greatly 
appreciated by all persons who attended. Reports were rife 
that the organization of the offices and office force as seen at 
the Stark Brothers’ headquarters appeared to be the most 
efficient and complete seen an3rwhere in the country. The 
members who were able to avail themselves of the invitation 
have spoken in highest terms of the entertainment and the 
hospitality provided. It was thoroughly Missourian in 
style, which in itself is a guarantee of high quality. 
Thomas B. Meehan and J. H. Dayton plan to explore the 
lower Mississippi by steamer. Their route was outlined to 
New Orleans. Therefrom the destination was not indicated. 
Several groups after visiting Louisiana and enjoying the 
hospitality of the Starks went west to Shenandoah, Iowa, 
where they visited the Lake and Welch establishments, 
while some of them planned scouting the Topeka and Kansas 
seedling apple regions.
