ART VNSTITUTE, CHICAGO. send his application to our secretary, and become a member of this society. I am sure after one year's membership they will say: "I am glad that I joined this able body and must get my friends to do the ; In regard to the scale of points, I would say that I do not think it pos- sible to improve on it. One suggestion I would like to make. A few varieties of our most wonderful exhibition flow- ers are lacking in stiffness of stem and need artificial supports, when staged on long stems. This I think is a weak point of these varieties and should be considered. I feel that any exhibit artificially supported, should lose at least two points. This will not harm these sorts, and still will give justice to varieties with self-supporting stems, but lacking in size. In regard to culture and other points, I do not intend to pass any remarks, as every climate and soil require dif- ferent treatments, but must say that not everything is gold that glitters. After all the skill, all the labor and all the expenses, the grower in general is proud every season to see his flowers develop, but the growers (especially in the east) have nearly every year more or less to suffer under a great loss. Warm weather sets in just at the time the flowers should have a cool atmos- phere. This warm weather is general- ly accompanied by rolling fogs with a very high humidity, and the best flow- ers rot away within a few days, and so far nothing is known that can prevent this. Any suggestion or remedy would be thankfully accepted by this body. I hope that you will all enjoy this convention and derive great benefit from it; also that the Chrysanthemum Society of America will have a larger membership next year. Secretary Johnson's Report.
