CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY. 



Annual Meeting* 



The Chrysanthemum Society of Amer- 

 ica held its annual meeting at the Coli- 

 seum, Chicago, November 7. President 

 Alfred J. Loveless, of Lenox, Mass., oc- 

 cupied the chair and Thomas Jenkinson, 

 of Pittsburg, acted as secretary pro tem 

 in the absence of David Fraser. Presi- 

 dent Loveless, in his address, spoke in 

 part as follows: 



President's Address. 



During the yekr some increase of mem- 

 bership has been apparent, and the work 

 of the society is still being carried on 

 effectively, but there remains much to be 

 accomplished. 



As time passes some active workers 

 drop from our roll of membership and 

 drift from our ranks without any par- 

 ticular reason, but to the faithful few 

 who have the interest of the society at 

 heart, we owe a debt of gratitude. 



With such a widely scattered board of 

 officers, and the few opportunities for 

 meeting to discuss the work of the so- 

 ciety, it is essential that every member 

 make an effort to procure new mem- 

 bers, and also try to attend the an- 

 nual meeting and present his ideas for 

 the government and improvement of this 

 society. I would urge upon the state 

 vice-presidents the importance of pre- 

 senting the work and aims of our so- 

 ciety to the horticulturists of their par- 

 ticular states on every possible occasion, 

 taking advantage of exhibitions and so- 

 ciety meetings to canvass for new mem- 

 bers, and so do their part in building 

 up the parent society. 



A special meeting was called in March 

 last, when the executive committee re- 

 ceived the report of the committee on 

 affiliation appointed at the last annual 

 meeting, and a scheme was presented 

 and approved, the same having been 

 submitted to the various horticultural 

 societies throughout the country, but 

 with little response, principally through 

 the lateness of the season at which the 

 terms of affiliation were mailed, and a 

 clause which called for notice to be given 

 by April 1. An extension of time, to 

 October 1, was deemed advisable, with 

 the result that one society became affili- 

 ated at the last moment, and the affilia- 

 tion trophy brought out spirited compe- 

 tition, adding much to the attractive- 

 ness of its exhibition. The advantage- 

 of having a national trophy for com- 

 petition at home should alone be an in- 

 ducement to the many societies to be- 

 come united with us, and I feel sure- 

 that many will favorably consider this 

 matter in due course, and assist in build- 

 ing up the C. S. A. locally, and add to 

 the importance of their own exhibitions. 



In the past attention has been particu- 

 larly directed to the production of enor- 

 mous flowers, but the limit of perfection 

 has not yet been reached. Few ever 

 thought that Chrysanthemiste Montigny 

 could be produced in such perfection as 

 those superb blooms exhibited at the 

 New York meeting, or that Mrs. William.
