merely to bring it to your attention and to point
out that any of the personally furnished exhibits that you wish to turn
over for that purpose, you may arrange with Mr. Stoke for that.

(Further discussion on the details of sending in the above-mentioned
exhibits.)

Dr. MacDaniels: I would move this Association favored sending an exhibit
to the Massachusetts Horticultural Society Harvest show, provided
material is available.

Dr. Crane: Second the motion.

Dr. Silvis: May I make this remark and also be in the form of a motion,
that those exhibitors report immediately at the adjournment of this
session to Mr. Stoke and make known to him whether yes or no, whether
their exhibits can be sent up.

President Davidson: Do you make that motion in the form of an amendment?

Dr. MacDaniels: I will include that in the motion.

Dr. Crane: I accept it.

(A vote was taken on the motion as amended, and it was carried
unanimously.)

President Davidson: Place of Meeting Committee. I judge that that
committee is not ready to report, is it, Mr. Slate, for this following
meeting?

Mr. Slate: The chairman didn't realize until just before we were ready
to leave that he was a member of that committee. I have given the matter
some thought on the way down, and in the previous years I have usually
gone fishing for invitations some time before the meeting. I did drop a
line overboard a few days ago, but I didn't catch anything more than I
caught in this big lake up here.

Now, from previous experience I don't believe we can consider going to
the Middle West. Mr. Snyder, Mr. Becker in Michigan, and Dr. Colby at
Illinois, have not thought that they had enough material to make it
worth while to go out there. That throws it back to the East, and we
have been to some of the better places in recent years; Ronoake,
Virginia, Hershey, Pennsylvania, and Boston.

I think there are two places that we should consider. I think we should
consider Beltsville and the New York City region. We all know that there
is plenty of material at Beltsville. We have not been there for some
time. And in the New York City region we have the plantings of Gilbert
Smith, who is probably 85 or 90 miles above New York. He is not far from
Poughkeepsie where I am sure there are ample facilities for handling the
crowd. Then there may be possibly some of Dr. Graves' plantings that
would be worth seeing on a field trip.

Now, of course, the committee will be very g
