PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. 



N. J. Wietor. 



(Vice-President of the Chrysanthemum Society of America.) 



Credit to the Workers. 



In coming before you as your presi- 

 dent, I feel more or less a hypocrite, 

 having done practically nothing towards 

 making the year, the annual meeting or 

 the exhibition a success, having left 

 everything to our able secretary, C. W. 

 Johnson. 



There were two^ reasons for this: The 

 first and main one was that Mr. John- 

 son knew all the workings, how to se- 

 cure the exhibits, the premiums and the 

 cooperation of our Chicago friends as 

 to the meeting place and all other de- 

 tails necessary for a successful conven- 

 tion. The second reason was that I've 

 been out of the country since last 

 March, only just returning a few days 

 ago. I've felt everything was in com- 

 petent hands, Mr. Johnson steering 

 things with the excellent and splendid 

 support of C. H. Totty in the east and 

 N. J. Wietor in the west. So I come to 

 you with my apologies, which I hope you 

 will accept and excuse all inefficiencies 

 that may come to the surface, charge- 

 able to the president. 



It would be amiss not to take this op- 

 portunity to thank our Chicago friends 

 and supporters for the able way they 

 have stood back of the C. S. A. Last 

 fall, when Chicago extended the invita- 

 tion for the annual meeting in 1921, I 

 felt with all the chrysanthemum growers 

 in and around Chicago, some small, some 

 medium-sized, some large and among 



Address of Samuel S. Pennock, president of 

 the ChryBanthemum Society of America, delir- 

 ered at the annual meeting at Chicago Novem-
