In his address Mr. Flynt
the pleasure that onr people felt in
having an opportunity to entertain
the Horticulturists of the State, and
he spoke with pardonable pride o*
the situation of Griffin and its many
advantages which would make it a
desirable place fat Horticulturists to
meet. In his speech he remarked
that Griffin had its manufactories,
its churches, its schools, and other
advantages to be proud of, but Its
greatest source of pride was tto
adaptability of this section for hor
ticulture as has been proven By the
varieties offrnits that were grown
here and their perfection. He con¬

Col. J. J. Hunt, who welcomed the

cultural Society.
Col. Hunt, in a pleasant manner,
spoke of the advantages of the Soci¬
ety’s meeting in a place like Griffin,
where the people could have an op¬
portunity of judging fruit ‘‘fresh
from the hflls,” and also enlarged
Upon the importance of the mission
to the State Horticultural Society.
He spoke of the progress that had
been made lately toward the devel¬
opment of fruit culture and the im¬

upon Horticulture in the State. In
conclusion he extended a most cor¬
dial welcome to the visitors from the
Middle Georgia Horticultural Socfe-
ty. r ,_^ conclusion , j| fil of RKL Col. Hunt’s
At the
welcome address, President P. J.
Berckroans, of Augusta, introduced
Mr. B. J. Bedding, of Atlanta, who
made the response to the addresses
of welcome. In a most pleasant man¬
ner this gentleman entertained the
assembly for fifteen minutes. He is
a former citixpn of Griffin and of
course baa a tenderness lor WE old
home. He spoke of this section as it
was before the war, just after the
war and now. Before the war, he
said, cotton was king and just after
the war people believed that cotton
™
pay; but, latterly they had learned
that horticulture was the best of all,
that fruit paid best. He paid tribute
to Griffin as bving the best place in
the State to meet, and although an
Atlanta man, thought that Atlanta’s
great trouble was that It did not
have Griffin’s location. Col. Red¬
ding’s happy manner of delivery
made » fine impression upon bis au¬
dience, many of whom were old
friends who could have listened to
him with interest.
President Berckmans then gave
recess of ten minutes to get a poll of
the members and allow others to be
enrolled.

to be discussed by the society at this
meeting. He impressed upon the mem
hereof the society and other fruit
shippers the necessity of having their
packages and crates for shipping
made at home and to have them
made in such shape as would be ac¬
cessible to the different markets. He
then dwelt on the proportions that
fruit shipping had assumed and the
financial importance of the crop. He
next advised the members to lqpk
out and be certain that they got the
best varieties of fruit when buying
trees, as it was very often the case
that the same fruit trees were sold un¬
der different names in different mar¬
kets. The growers should “kntp a
strict wateh and protect themselves
from disreputable parties who would
swindle them. The president had a
faige report on ‘‘Peach Yellotw”
which had been prepared by an ex¬
out by the department at
Wjwhingte0j whic h he had read but
did not fully agree with. He said

afternoon session. *
The afternoon session was taken
np with reading of essays, papers and
discussions. 1%* convention was
called to order promptly by Presi¬
dent Berckmans. The first paper
read was by Prof. John P. Campbell
on pear culture, which was a very
aide treatise on the subject.
Hon. L. L. Varaadoe in discussing
this subject eaidthat only bearing
trees show Wight; young trees are
free from it. In his opinion too
much ferCixation caused Wight. He
doesn’t think that fruit needs much
fertilizing, it may grow larger, but
will havemoresspandfess saccharine
matter.
In discussing the blight Dr. Hicks
said that Inexperience was that a
full fruited tree blighted soonest.
Mr. Varaadoe gave as his experi¬
ence that a full fruited tree never
blighted.
. President Berckmans then made a
short talk on tbs different kinds of
blight, which was both instructive
and interesting.
A paper by Mrs. Rosa Hanbury. of
Atlanta, on Geraniums, was next
read, and approved by the society.
The next paper was the ‘‘History
of the scuppernong in Georgia” by
Mrs. Rebecca f. Green, of Atlanta,
which was also adopted by the. so¬
ciety.
Then came the reports of the com-
mitotees from the different congres¬
sional districts. They were as fol¬
lows:
Second congressional district—
Fruit crop good; peaches plentiful
but not so good. Blight has made
its appearance among pears, but the
LeConte and Keifer trees are doing
well with large crops of fruit. Re¬
turns from shipments not as satis¬
factory as could be wished. »
Fifth congressional district—Straw
berries and raspberries were promis¬
ing, but the strawberries were cut off
by drought. Peaches are fine, and
retune rosy. No blight in this sec¬
tion. Grapes in fine condition and
the outlook for an increase in fruit
planting is very favorable.
Tenth congressional distriet-Small
fruits were short this year, the apple
crop medium, pears an average crop,
peach cfop fine and good prices are
being realized from shipments. There
is not a large acreage in melons, but
the crop is large and prices low.
The next thing in order was the
discussion of the catalogue that is
published annually by the society for
the purpose of seeing what fruits
should be erased from the catalogue
and what new varieties added.
The Leever apple was stricken from
the catalogue as being unworthy of
recommendation.
President Berckmans, who has suc¬
cessfully tested them, had the follow
ing three varieties of pears endorsed
and placedjin the catalogue: Araio,
Mikado and Madame VonSiebold.
In /plllms, the Mariana was with
drawn from the catalogue, and the
Hattie, which bears early and frnits
well, the Minor, a late plum and the
Missouri, which bean a fine fruit and
ripens late, were added by Prof.
Newman and P. J. Berckmans.
After this the assembly adjourned
to meet again at the court i touts
this morning at 8 o’clock.

The exhibits at the Brick ware¬
house are said to be the finest horti¬

of the society. Among the most
prominent are:
