C. S. A. ANNUAL MEETING. 



At the annual meeting of the Chrys- 

 anthemum Society of America at the 

 Auditorium hotel, Chicago, on the eve- 

 ning of November 16, after the reading 

 of President Pennock 's address and 

 Secretary Johnson's report and the elec- 

 tion of officers, all given in last week's 

 Eeview, discussion ensued on the ad- 

 visability of amending the by-laws to 

 provide for life members. It was 

 finally decided to put the matter in the 

 hands of a committee, which should re- 

 port at the next annual meeting. The 

 formation of two scales for pompons, 

 upon the suggestion of several members, 

 was discussed and ultimately referred to 

 the executive committee with power to 

 act. Secretary Johnson transmitted the 

 request of representatives of the Garden 

 Clubs of America for a conference, with 

 the admission in view of amateurs as 

 associate members of the C. S. A. C. H. 

 Totty spoke of the Garden Clubs' 

 strength and urged cooperation. Since 

 President Pennock had to leave that 

 night for a meeting of the national 

 flower show committee in Cleveland No- 

 vember 17, Secretary Johnson and 

 Treasurer Totty were given power to 

 confer with the women and act on the 

 matter. 



The report of tlic treasurer showed a 

 balance on hand November 9, 1920, of 

 $431.46 and receipts during the vear of 

 $257, making a total of $688.46. Ex- 

 penses amounted to $221.21, including 



$100 as secretary's salary, and the re- 

 mainder for printing and other routine 

 expenses. The balance November 15, 

 1921, of $467.25, showed a net gain of 

 $36.16 during the year, chiefly due to 

 the fact that the society issued no book 

 ef proceedings of last year's meeting. 



Paul Klingsporn and Fred Lauten- 

 schlager were appointed as an auditing 

 committee and found the secretary's 

 and treasurer's reports of the society's 

 finances correct.

SOME EXHIBITS AT CHICAGO, 



Three Prize-Winners: Orange Queen, Whittier and Golden Wedding. 



A Sextet of Roses. 



Some of the most noteworthy indi- 

 vidual displays in the exhibition at Chi- 

 cago are shown in two accompanying 

 illustrations. One is of a half-dozen 

 vases of roses, including some of those 

 most studied in the hall. Three were 

 from Eichmond, Ind., and three from 

 Morton Grove, 111. In the upper row to 

 the left appears Angelus, the new white 

 originated by Fred H. Lemon & Co. On 

 the right is Amelia Gude, from the same 

 firm, which has a particularly delicate 

 coloring. In the center is a big vase 

 of P>. G. Hill's new pink, America, 

 termed by Charles H. Totty "the rose 

 of the century," after having observed 

 it growing for a number of months. 



America is a seedling of Premier, 

 though different in almost every point, 

 according to its originator, except that 

 it has a smooth, almost thornless stem 

 and great freedom of growth and bloom, 

 and makes a quick comeback after 

 crops. It is another big rose, fragrant, 

 with the longest-pointed bud among 

 forcers. Its color is pure, clear peach- 

 blow pink, and it has beautiful foliage 

 and long, erect stems even without 

 pinching. The orders already placed 

 have made it necessary to hold it over
