The second day of tbs convention
of the State hortieultarfate opened
up cool and pleasant and the dele¬
gates seemed fresh and ready for bnai-
nees when the convention was called
to order.
The first business taken up was the
discussion of the catalogue where it
waa left off at the session of yester¬
day afternoon. Hon. A. Q- Moody,
of Thomas county, offered the fol¬
lowing resolution in regard to taking
several counties from the middle sec¬
tion of tiie State and fornrng a new
section: *
Resolved, That the catalogue of
the State Horticultural Society be ao
amended that in the classification of
fruits the counties of Thomas, Deca¬
tur, Brooks, Lowdnes, Echols, Charl¬
ton, M''ler, Mitchell, Colquitt, Baker,
Berrien, Clinch, Ware, Early and
Pierce to be taken from the middle
region, and that they shall consti¬
tute a new region in said classifica¬
tion to be known as the southern re¬
gion.”
On motion the resolntion was re¬
ferred to a committee composed of
Messrs. Moody, Quarterman and
McKennn, of Thomas, with power to
act. They reported favorably and
the resolution was adopted.
Dr. Cary then read a report of the
fruit crop from the 4th congressional
district which stated that the fruit
crop was fine with the exception of
mmons, which crop will fall
short. This will doubtless prove a
blow tothisdistrict. Theapplecrop,
while good, was not so abundant as
in former yews. Thegentleman also
spoke highly of the value of hillside
terracing to horticulturists. Alter
this report was adopted, President
Berckmans introduced Prof. J. E.
Willett, who read papers on “Insects
and Parasites” and “Peach Yellows.”
In our opinion these papers were the
most important to fruit growers that
have been read before tius meeting.
At the conclusion of these papers the
Professor made a few remarks in
which he said that often other diseas-
were taken for yellows in the peach
He displayed a map showing the dis¬
tricts that are mostly Infected with
this disease and stated that we could
have effectually guarded against it
had we understood it a few years
earlier, as we would have lieen better
prepared for it. During hb stay here
Prof. Wflett made a vbit to J. D.
Huated’s orchard and examined trees
that were supposed to have yellows,
but to Mr. Husted’s delight found
that they were infected with the
“Beetle” that is not contagieus, bnt
an insect that is more dis¬
astrous than the yellows, for the
reason that it can kill trees in 12
months time, while yellows will usu¬
ally take three years. He displayed
twigs from infected trees showing the
ravages of insects.
President Berckmans stated Jthat
in response to a letter of inquiry from
Henry Grady he bad once stated,
upon certain representations, that
the yellows prevalednear Augusta,
but he would like to withdraw that
opinion and say that he had never
seen a case of yellows in Georgia,
and that he was glad to have been
set straight by Prof. Willet.
Next, the thanks of the society were
tendered Mrs. H. W. Hasselkus and
others for the entertainment Wednes¬
day night.
Mrs. W. M. Scott, of Atlanta, then
readapaperon“Unfermented Wine,”
which b generally called nectar, and
advocated it as a temperance drink
and a rival of peach brandy and fer¬
mented wines. She explained that it
might be made as palatable as a sher¬
ry cobbler if it was shaken up with
ice and the seductive straw placed in
it, and also suggested that it made a
very nice drink when mixed with
Apollinaris water.
One of the most interesting papers
of the day was read by L. A. Berck¬
mans, of Augusta,on “Japan Plums,”
It was thorough in every detail, as
Mr. Berckmans fully understood hb
subject. He spoke of the introduc¬
tion of Japanese fruit into the Unit¬
ed States and since its {popularity
the increase of names without increase
of variety. He stated that there
were only two distinct varieties ef
the Japanese plum, but os they give
their fruits local names when ship¬
ping them tbata Japanese catalogue
would contain many different names
for the same variety of fruit and dep¬
recated the use of synonyms as it was
perplexing to the fruit grower.
Mr; Berckmans was followed by
Dr. J. H. P. Brown, of Augusta, who
read (fpaper on the embarrassing ef¬
fects of synonyms on the fruit grow¬
er.
Dr. Samual Hape, of Atlanta, in
hb polished manner read a most in¬
teresting paper on “Peach Culture”
and to the Elberta peach paid a
glowing tribute, caBingit the “queen
of midsummer,” and rhapsodizing on
its beauty and quality as if it were
quite a favorite. He also touched
■
on "liuid-
r which claimed the
of hb audience.

Mr. 8. M. Wayman came
thb time and spoke on “Transporta

He was followed by President

of attending closely to
matter, upon the society.

ed the largest quantity of peaches
and the finest quality ever shown at

During the afternoon session the
"Question Box” of the society was
taken up and the questions asked by
the members of the society consider¬
ed . They were few and most of them
received but little consideration or
discussion. - . 1
The committee on synonyms report¬
ed that while there were some whp
wished synonyms dropped from the
catalogue, they thought it would be
advatangeoua to keep up synonyms
as a protection to fruit dealers. It
was stated to the soebty that trou¬
ble had occurred on account of foreign
importations; that fruit had been
shipped from Japan to America that
was wholly unrecognizable from
name, and that owed ite existence to
thb continent. Prof. Newman said
that there was trouble nearer home;
that melon seed had been sold for
fancy varieties that had proven to be
common to thb section.
The report of the committee on
wines states that the display b good
and that Miss Williams, of Tobler,
and Messrs. H. W. Hasselkus and R.
Oetfcer, of this place, presented sam¬
ples of fine juice of the grape.
The committee on new fruits re¬
ported several new varieties ofgrapes,

cent death left a gap in the member¬
ship of the society- Granted.
Mr. A. Q. Moody, of Thomas coun¬
ty, then introduced a resolution ask¬
ing that the News and Sun, of Grif¬
fin, be allowed the manuscript of the
essays read before the society for
publication. Thb was stoutly op¬
posed by President Berckmans and
8eci%tary Kinsey, and finally Mr.
Moody withdrew the resolution.
Dr. Cary then introduced a resolu¬
tion returning thanks generally to
the people of Griffin and to the press
for favors and hospitality, and to R.
A. Thompson for the use of hb ware¬
house. Adopted.
Dr. 8. H. Hape, of Atlanta, then

tic railrbad and the Georgia
rai'road for courtesies. Thb was
adopted with the amendment that

It was then moved that a commit¬
tee of three be appo'nted on publica¬
tion of minutes. Carried, and chair
will appoint committee at leisure.
The society then finished the re-
vision of the catologue and made
some changes in small frnits.
Mr. Hnnnicnt reconsidered bb mo¬
tion as regards transportation at
the morning session and as an
amendment, it was move d that the
president appoint a committee of
three to present a memorial to the
legislature asking for an appropria
tion.
Mr. James, of Fort Valley, invited
the society to meet next year at
Fort Valley, which was accepted.
There being no further work before
the society, President Berckmans
adjourned the meeting with a neat
and graceful speech.
To the Horticultural society

with the utmost truth that our citi¬
zens have had much pleasure in
