Valuable Records. 



Several uote.s appeared in the trade 

 papers shortly after the New York 

 chrysanthemum show, referring to the 

 gift of Elmer D. Smith, of Adrian, Mich., 

 to the chrysanthemum society of America. 

 As was stated at that time this gift con- 

 sists of a list of all the varieties of 

 chrysanthemums introduced in America 

 since the early SO 's. These records have 

 now become the property of the C. S. A. 

 and are in the hands of the secretary. 

 The care with which the records hav 

 been compiled, the earnest and painstaJi- 

 ing effort which has been made to cover 

 the ground thoroughly, and the eminently 

 practical and convenient manner in which 

 the records are gotten, up, call for the 

 liighest commendation from all lovers of 

 tlie chrysanthemum tliroughout America. 



A brief explanation of the system fol- 

 lowed, may be of interest. The well 

 known card index system is used. White 

 cards designate varieties raised in 

 America, blue cards imported varieties, 

 and synonyms are placed on yeUow cards. 

 The name of the variety is given^ fol- 

 lowed by the name of the introducer, anil 

 the raiser, when possible. The year it 

 was sent out in the United States and 

 the description complete the card. Each 

 year the secretary will add cards cover- 

 ing all the introductions of the yoar. 

 thus keeping the records up to dat" 

 When the report of the convention, held 

 in New York November 10, is pub- 

 lished, a copy of this list will be iuchi.' ' 

 and will become the property of each 

 member of the C. S. A.
