PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. 



N. J. Wietor. 



(Vue-I'resideiit of the (Tirysaiitlicimiiii Societ.v ol America.) 



Credit to the Workers. 



In cdining before you as your presi- 

 dent, T feel more or less a hypocrite, 

 having tlone jiriictically 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 

 tirst and main one was that Mr. John- 

 son knew all tlie workings, how to se- 

 cure the exhibits, the ]ireniiiims .and the 

 cooperation of (uir Ciiicago friends as 

 to tlie meeting jdace 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 

 Mardi. only just returning a few days 

 ago. I've felt everything was in com- 

 jietent hands, Mr. .Tolinson steering 

 things with the excellent and splendid 

 sujiiiort of r. TI. Tdtty in the e.ast and 

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

 you with my apoldgies, 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 Cliiciigo friends 

 and supjidrters for tlie 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 T 

 felt with all the chrysanthemum growers 

 in and around Chicago, some small, some 

 medium-sized, some large and among
