CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY 

 OF AMERICA 



The annual meeting of this society 

 •was held this week in Philadelphia in 

 connection with the exhibition of the 

 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. 

 The address of fhe president and re- 

 ports of other officials follow: 



Annual Address of President William 

 Kleinheinz 



Gentlemen and Fellow Members of 

 the Chrysanthemum Society of Amer- 

 ica: 



Once more we are assembled to 

 honor the Queen of the .\utumn, and 

 to consider means and ways to in- 

 crease the general interest in cultiva- 

 tion, and to improve the high stand- 

 ard of the Chrysanthemum. .Vs your 

 President, it gives me pleasure to wel- 

 come you at this convention in the 

 City of Philadelphia, and I hope that 

 you will not regret that you have se- 

 lected Philadelphia for this meeting. 



The exhibits at this meetint,' speak 

 for themselves. The large-tlowering 

 varieties seem to be at their highest, 

 and the raisers of new varieties have 

 to be wide-awake to keep in line with 

 the present sorts. It seems filmnst im- 



possible to improve on the existing 

 varieties, but. our hybridizers are 

 never idle and keep on improving with 

 astonishing results. Not only the 

 large flowering types have the atten- 

 tion of our scientific breeders, but the 

 pompons, singles and decoratives have 

 also been taken care of. Great im- 

 provements have been made during 

 the past ten years. 



Again I must make some remarks 

 about the membership of this society. 

 1 have referred to this at the past two 

 meetings, and have pointed out what 

 good the Chrysanthemum Society of 

 America does to the chrysanthemum 

 growers, but the number of new mem- 

 bers is mighty small. I again call on 

 every one interested in chrysanthe- 

 mums to give us their support, and 

 join our society. The dues per year 

 are only two dollars, and the members 

 get well rewarded by the work this 

 society does. 1 hope my successor as 

 president will have the pleasure to see 

 the membership passing the five hun- 

 dred mark. 



Since our last meeting, one of our 

 most successful hybridizers and in- 

 troducers of new chrysanthemums has 

 passed away. William Wells, of Mers- 

 tham, Surrey. England. His products 

 are known over the whole world, and 



:cr many of our best varieties we have 

 to thank Mr. Wells. 



To the trade press, I wish to ex- 

 press my thanks for the many court- 

 esies extended to the officers of the 

 society during the past year. I also 

 feel it my duty to thank all the donors 

 of handsome prizes, enabling us to 

 work out such a fine schedule for com- 

 petition. To the various committees 

 who examine seedlings and sports, I 

 must express the thanks of the soci- 

 ety for their prompt and correct work. 



To the officers and members, I ex- 

 tend my thanks and appreciation for 

 their support during my three terms 

 as your president. Our society must 

 prosper while our members continue 

 to support and back up our officers. I 

 regret very much that I am not in a 

 position today to announce a great 

 financial i)rosperity during my terms, 

 I assure you that if it would be with- 

 in my power this society would be the 

 strongest of all in membership and 

 financial standing. 1 close with best 

 wishes to my successor, may he be 

 able to accomplish and finish the work 

 started and carried on by the officers 

 in the past for the good of this society. 



Secretary Chas. W. Johnson's 

 Report 

 Our Society continues to make prog- 

 ress and though we do not get the 

 increased membership we should, the 

 work of the Societ.v along the lines 

 of improving the standard and popu- 

 larizing the Chrysanthemum is being 

 recognized more each year. Your 

 Secretary notes this particularly by 

 the increased correspondence that 

 comes to him throughout the year in 

 comparison to the first years of his 

 work. The interest in the new va-
