REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

AS SUBMITTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

NOVEMBER 19, 1941

It is a great pleasure to recognize many of the old friends of the
Society present today and equally gratifying to see so many of the
newer members who have come to their first Annual jMeeting. I extend
a hearty welcome to both old and new and express the fond hope that

the new members will make these Annual Meetings a haljit. It is only
through the continued interest and support of the members that the
Society can make a satisfactory growth.

The absence of our Secretary, Mr. John C. Wister. is today, as
always, regrettable but he had engaged his time to lecture this afternoon
with The Horticultural Society of New York before the date of this
meeting was set. Their program had been published and it was quite
impossible for him to cancel the engagement. In the absence of Mr.
Wister, I have asked Mr. William J. Serrill, one of our Vice-Presidents,
who is also Chairman of the Nominating Committee for membership
in the Council, to participate with me this afternoon and render to you
the "account of that election. I will ask him to explain to you the
By-Law which provides the formula for such elections.

As the securing of new members is an important part of our pro-
gram. I have asked Dr. J. Horace ]\IcFarland, a member of our Council
and Chairman of our Extension Committee, to participate in this after-
noon's exercises, and also Mr. W. Atlee Burpee, Jr., Vice-Qiairman of
the same Committee, who, in turn, will make the awards to those of us
who have been successful in securing more than five new members.

Our financial report will be published, as usual, in the Year Book
but, as finances are a vital part of the life of any organization, I wish
to say a few words to you on this subject. First of all, I wish to thank
you for the generous response which you gave to my suggestion at the
last Annual Meeting that additional funds for special needs would be
most welcome. I explained, at that time, we did not wish to consider
increasing our dues but that additional income would supply some im-
portant needs. Contributions amounting to approximately $1,600.00
were received. They made it possible for us to publish the new up-to-
date catalogue of the Library, to present last June's Flower Show, and
to purchase a very fine projector which we shall use for Miss Werts-
ner's Lecture this afternoon. Any additional contributions from those
of us who feel able to respond this year will be most thankfully received
and will be put to good use.

The budget for the year just closed was balanced and we start
off another season in good financial condition. The books of the
Society were audited by Messrs. Herr and Herr, Certified Public
Accountants, at the end of our fiscal year, September 30th, 1941.

It is with a sense of deep regret I announce the death of our
Treasurer, Samuel S. Pennock, who died April 12th, 1941. Mr. Pen-
nock was a devoted member of the Society for forty-five years and had
performed his duties as Treasurer faithfully since 1924. His death is
a great loss to the Society, and those of us who were closely associated
with him on the Executive Council will keenly miss his ever genial
personality.

We have been particularly fortunate in securing Mr. Benjamin
Rush, Jr., as Mr. Pennock's successor. Many of you know Mr. Rush as
he is from one of Philadelphia's old families. He is prominent not only
as an officer of the Indemnity Insurance Company of North America

10

but, through his interest in civic affairs, he is Chairman of the 1941
Roll Call of the Southeastern Chapter of the American Red Cross. We
can feel assured of the highest standard of service in this department
of the Society.

Before calling- on Dr. McFarland and Mr. Burpee, I wish to say a
word about membership which lies close to my heart, close, because I
feel that this particular department of the Society plays an important
part in its perpetuation. The report of the status of our membership,
in the face of present uncertain conditions, is gratifying. The actual
figures at the first of November, 1940, were 3,897. Today they are
4,130, a net increase of 233 for the year. This handsome gain repre-
sents only a part of the work of securing new members by the Commit-
tee for, in order to offset our losses by death, resignation, and non-
payment of dues, we had to secure 571 new members. Let us keep our
goal of 5,000 members in mind throughout the coming year.

After Dr. McFarland speaks to you further about this work and
Mr. Burpee makes the awards for the splendid work accomplished, it
will be my pleasure to make another award we wish to bestow this after-
noon. This is the Schafifer Memorial Medal which is given from time
to time for outstanding work in the interest of horticulture.

I am happy to tell you that the Executive Council has voted
unanimously to give this medal to Mrs. J. Norman Henry and I con-
sider it an honor to present the medal to her and read the citation which
accompanies the award.

''The Schaffer Memorial Medal of The Pennsylvania Horticul-
tural Society is awarded to Mrs. J. Norman Henry, of Gladwyne,
Pennsylvania, for her notable contributions to horticulture. Travel-
ling to the zmlds of Northern British Columbia, and again to the
botanically little knozun portions of our southeastern states, her
keen eye has detected many species and varieties of horticultural
value. These have been transplanted to, or propagated in, her
garden at Gladzvyne and her skill in their cidture has luade possible
the demonstration that many highly attractive native plants can
he grown far from their native haunts. Outstanding among her
finds are new varieties, color-forms or hybrids of Azaleas, Gen-
tians, Lilies, and many other genera, a Silver-bell zvith pink, and a
Witchhasel zvith fragrant bronze flozvers, a magnolia so dzvarf as
to be suited to rock gardens, and numerous others. As a result of
her untiring efforts, horticulturists are now, more than ever, azvarc
of the tremendous potentialities of the native American flora for
supplying plants worthy of cultivation."

Today we turn a new leaf in the history of our Society. Last year
I referred to the stirring and uncertain days that lay ahead and pointed
out that we should be mentally prepared and alert to face all of the
uncertainties that time would reveal.

As we approach our new year and the nation becomes more deeply
entangled in the endless meshes of world conditions, we Avill, unques-

11

tionably, be called upon to give more and more attention to budgeting.
I wish that, when we do our budgeting, we would not do it from a
financial standpoint alone but that we would also budget our time.
Evidently, there are many things we spend time doing that could be
dropped with less loss to ourselves than our interest in horticulture.
Horticulture is part of Mother Nature herself in which alone lies eternal
truth, our most faithful friend. It is eternal truth that is being brought
home to the world in the present conflict and it alone will carry on.
So, let us feel our membership in this Society is not a casual thing but
that we are investing our time in a way that will give us the greatest
understanding and satisfaction in return.

It seems fitting, at this time, to announce the death, on November 3,
of one of our outstanding Honorary Members, Sir Arthur William
Hill, Director, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London. His death was
the result of a riding accident. His passing will, unquestionably, be a
great loss to the botanical world.

It is indeed heartening to all horticulturists in America to know
that at the Botanic Gardens in London, in Edinburgh, and in Dublin,
as well as at the Royal Horticultural Society itself, interest in Mother
Nature is being kept alive and virile and so forms a spiritual stimulus
for the fortitude of the British people who have stood up so magnifi-
cently during these darkened days of the last two years as destruction
of life and property has rained from the skies.

The last item on our Agenda this afternoon is concerned with the
activities of the Society during the past year. I know you wall agree
with me that it will be presented in a much more interesting form than
the customary verlial or written report. I do not have to introduce to
you our capable Field Secretary, Miss Anne Wertsner, who will
"Review the Year with a Color Camera."

Mrs. Carson is Chairman of the Entertainment Committee and
Tea will be served at the end of the Lecture.

I wish to express to all those of the Council and to all the mem-
bers of our Executive force my most hearty thanks for the magnificent
cooperation and support that they have given to me.

C. FREDERICK C. STOUT,

President.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY FOR 1941

Our first activities in 1941 were the regular series of three lectures,
and a course of practical gardening lectures by Miss Wertsner, Field
Secretary, which had started in October, 1940.

On January 22 and 23, 1941, the Society again co-operated with
the Garden Club Federation of Pennsylvania in ofifering a course of
special lectures for flower show exhibitors. A sum of $800.00 over
expenses was realized, and the Society used its share of $400.00 to help
finance its participation in the Philadelphia Flower Show, March 24-29,
1941. Each year the Society's classes grow in number and the details
of staging become more elaborate and complicated. Mrs. J. Gibson
Mcllvain and her assistant, Mrs. G. Ruhland Rebmann, Jr., who headed
the committee in 1941, have consented to take charge of the work again
in 1942.

Mrs. J. Norman Henry was chairman of the annual Flower Show
Luncheon, held on March 25, 1941. Mr. B. Y. Morrison, of the United
States Department of Agriculture, in Washington, was the special
guest speaker.

On three Saturday afternoons in May, a total of fifteen visits was
made by members of the Society to gardens in Chestnut Hill, Ardmore,
and in the vicinity of Wilmington. On account of the increasing num-
ber of visitors and the attendant difficulties of parking, a new plan was
tried of charging for non-member guests. Members were admitted free
as formerly, but a fee of $1.00 was charged for guests of members on
each afternoon. The proceeds, $530.00, were given to the American
Red Cross.

On May 19, Miss Wertsner gave a one day course on Flower
Arrangement and Judging, part of which was devoted to an exhibit of
arrangements made by novices for whom the course was designed.

On June 5 and 6, the Society staged an unusually fine Flower Show
in Germantown through the hospitality and co-operation of the Wo-
man's Club of Germantown.

During the summer, the Library and Reading Room attracted
about the same number of users as is customary. Books were mailed
to many members who were away from home. Miss Wertsner, who has
taken Mr. Rust's place as consultant, was asked intermittently for
gardening advice, but the peak of that work, of course, occurs in the
spring.

Li late September, the committee in charge of the Society's section
of the Philadelphia Flower Show, began its regular weekly meetings on
Friday mornings. These meetings continued until the schedule was
planned and ready to go to the printer. Similar work is done in advance
for all of the Society's activities. Many hours of conscientious work
are spent around the large table in our Council Room.

In October, the Committee on Garden Awards submitted its report
to the Executive Council, and the Council voted the awards which were

14

recommended. A list of them was puljlished in the November first
issue of "Horticulture," and it is printed, also, in the current Year Book.

The Chr^-santhemum Show was staged in the Field House of
Swarthmore College on November 7, 8, and 9, 1941. The attendance
of approximately 6,000 persons was double that of last year. The
Arthur Hoyt Scott Horticultural Foundation and the Philadelphia

Branch of the National Association of Gardeners were co-sponsors with

the Society.

The Annual Meeting of the Society on November 19. 1941, was
another record-breaker in attendance. Four hundred and fifty members
were present. An account of the meeting is given in the President's
Report.

A demonstrated talk on Christmas Decorations, presented by Miss
A\'ertsner on December 16, ended our activities for 1941. Last year,
this very popular lecture was included in Miss Wertsner's Horticultural
Course, but this year it was a separate lecture open to all, and a fee
was charged to help cover the expenses.

A few of our office records for the year from December 1, 1940, to
November 30, 1941, are as follows : A\'e have had 2,392 visitors to the
rooms, 1,184 of whom came particularly to the Library. Seventy-three
meetings were held in our quarters, 32 by our own committees and
Executive Council and 41 by other groups with allied interests.

REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE FOR 1941

How fast the year has flown !

Thanksgiving came and went. Christmas the dimax, the greatest
day in the year, is over. New Year's Day is past. With that day the
first whisper of a new spring is in the air, ahhough we are still in the
depths of winter.

The longer the winter season, the darker the days, the colder the
weather — the greater is the opportunity which we gardeners have to
study and the more time we have to plan and dream. But in busy times
we must learn to plan and dream in such a way that our plans and
dreams will bring the greatest returns.

Let us read and study the most worthwhile gardening books and
magazines. We must all grow and help others to grow the fruits and
vegetables our countrymen need so sorely.

Let us also grow many beautiful flowers that our souls, too, may
find some comfort in these stern and stirring times.

The Library records show that 197 books were added, making a
total of approximately 5200 volumes; there were 1172 visitors to the
Library; and 1023 books were circulated among the members.

We wish to express our sincere gratitude to the following donors
of books : Mrs. Charles S. Bergner, Mr. Charles J. Biddle, Mrs. Edward
W. Bok, Mr. Hugh Findlay, Miss Sarah D. Lowrie, Mrs. William R.
Mercer, Mrs. Arthur Hoyt Scott, Mr. C. Frederick C. Stout, and Miss
Anne B. Wertsner.

Respectfully submitted,

Mary G. Henry, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE LECTURE COMMITTEE FOR 1941

Two series of lectures comprised the program for the past year.
The first was the regular \A^inter series of free lectures on Tuesday
afternoons, as follows :

Auditorium, 1600 Arch Street, Philadelphia, 3:00 P. M.

Tanuarv 13 — "Floral Adventures in the Pine Barrens of Southern Xew Jersev,"

January 17 — "Botanical Gardens, Arboretums, and other famous Plant Collec-
tions near Philadelphia," John C. Wister

February 10 — "Gardens to Live With." Dr. Hugh Findlay

The attendance at the lectures was considerably higher than during
former years, and at Dr. Findlay's talk, the number present, 607, sur-
passed all previous records. The lectures were widely varied in subject
matter and each one was presented in an interesting manner.

The second series was entitled a "Short Course in Horticulture,"
and was given by ]\Iiss Anne B. AA'ertsner, Field Secretary. The course
began in the autumn of 1940 and extended over an eight-month period.
There were 213 registrations and the average attendance was good. The
course was free to members. ]\Iany expressions of appreciation have
been received, and a similar course is being presented this Winter by
Miss Wertsner. A registration fee of $1.00, plus tax, is charged for
the current course. The 1940-1941 series included the following
program, which was given on ]\Ionday mornings :

GARDEN VISITS, 1941

Garden Visits were made to fifteen private gardens in 1941, with
an average attendance at each garden of 436. In the preceding year,
the average attendance had mounted to 536 and in order to reduce this
number, on account of difficulties in parking and to prevent possible
damage to lawns from such a large number of visitors, an admission
fee of $1.00 was charged to guests of members in 1941. The proceeds,

22,

amounting to $530.00, were given to the American Red Cross. Members
were admitted free, as usual.

The program of visits in 1941 was as follows :

May 3— Chestnut Hill

Mr. and Mrs. Evan Randolph, Seminole and West Chestnut Avenues.

Mr. Joseph B. Van Sciver, Lynbrook Road.

Mrs. F. Corlies Morgan, 8625 Montgomery Avenue.

Mrs. Randal Morgan, 398 East Willow Grove Avenue.

Mrs. Isaac T. Starr, East Willow Grove Avenue.

May 17 — Ardmore

Mr. and Mrs. C. Frederick C. Stout, 214 Glenn Road.
*Mr. and Mrs. Stacy B. Lloyd, "Mill Creek House."
Mr. and Mrs. C. Townsend Ludington, "Court House."
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph N. Pew, Dodd's Lane.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Sears, Williamson Avenue and Youngsford
Road.

■'Mr. Lloyd — deceased.

May 24 — Vicinity of Wilmington, Delaware

Mr. Harry G. Haskell, "Hill Girt Farms," Chadd's Ford, Pennsylvania.
Mr. and Mrs. R. R. M. Carpenter, "Dilwyne," Montchanin, Delaware.
Mrs. Chichester duPont, "Elton," Wilmington, Delaware.
Mr. and Mrs. H. Rodney Sharp, "Gibraltar," Wilmington, Delaware.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wheelwright, "Goodstay," Wilmington, Delaware.

The Society expresses its grateful appreciation to the members
listed above who generously opened their gardens to us in 1941.

In addition to the list of private gardens, members were invited to
visit the following places of interest which were open to the public last
Spring : Longwood Gardens, Valley Forge Dogwood Celebration,
Azalea Gardens at Friends Hospital, Arthur Hoyt Scott Horticultural
Foundation, Rock Garden of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Haughton, the
Glendinning Memorial Rock Garden, and the Garden Day of Private
Gardens in Central Philadelphia.

JOHN C. WISTER, Chairman.

REPORT OF EXHIBITION COMMITTEE FOR 1941

The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society sponsored two Flower
Shows in 1941, with the assistance of co-operating organizations; and
the Society also actively participated in the Philadelphia Flower Show,
March 24-29, 1941.

As usual, the Society took charge of the special garden and arrange-
ment classes in the March Show. A large committee of women, headed
by Mrs. J. Gibson Mcllvain and her sub-chairman Mrs. G. Ruhland
Rebmann, Jr., planned an interesting schedule of classes and in addition
to making all the advance arrangements, representatives were on con-
stant duty at the Show — helping the exhibitors and judges and
answering questions put to them by the public.

The Society's exhibits were in the usual location. Many of the
small gardens combined flower borders and vegetables in a pleasing and

23

practical manner. Sculpture played an effective part in some sections
of gardens, due to the offer of a special prize by the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts to the garden which used sculpture to the
best advantage. "The Gardeners" (Garden Club) won the award. The
Garden Club Federation of Pennsylvania staged three special classes
in the Society's section. The Show as a whole was outstanding and
there was an excellent attendance throughout the week. The Flower
Show management provided a free ticket for each of our members as
in former years.

The June Flower Show was held in Germantown (June 5 and 6) and
the Society had the co-operation of the Four Counties Garden Club,
The Gardeners, the Garden Club of Philadelphia, The Planters, The
Weeders and the West Chester Garden Club. The Show was staged
in the Club House of the Germantown Woman's Club, through the kind
invitation of the Club. A fine collection of outdoor Spring flowers was
shown and Roses and Delphiniums were particularly good. Flower
Arrangement classes also were noteworthy. An attendance of 527 was
recorded:

The Chrysanthemum Show took place in the Field House of
Swarthmore College, on November 7, 8, and 9, with the co-operation
of the Arthur Hoyt Scott Horticultural Foundation and the Philadelphia
Branch of the National Associatioin of Gardeners. Due to the open
Fall and no killing frosts, there was a splendid display of outdoor-grown
Chrysanthemums as well as the indoor types. The attendance of
approximately 6,000 persons was double that of last year.

Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD GRAHAM,

Chairman.

GARDEN AWARDS

The Committee on Garden Awards visited twenty-four gardens in
1941, and upon its recommendation, the following awards were made:

A GOLD MEDAL

to Mr. Harry G. Haskell, of Wilmington, Delaware, for his country
estate. '"Hillgirt Farms," lying in the beautiful undulating landscape

26

which skirts the valley of the historic Brandywine, in Chester County,
Pennsylvania. This property possesses the unusual characteristic of
combining with its perfection and elegance, its restraint in planting and
design, and its splendid upkeep, the peculiar charm of simplicity, of a
homelike quality which engages the admiration and affection of every-
one who sees it. The ancient mansion, the magnificent trees, the perfect
garden, the swimming-pool and bath-house, the large greenhouses, filled
with plants of unusual variety and interest — these features are all so
designed and arranged as to attract and charm.

A SILVER MEDAL

to Mrs. Frederick W. Taylor, of Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, for her
estate, "Boxly," which contains a marvelous display of ancient boxwood
arranged in a maze of hedges enclosing numerous well planted . flower
gardens.

A SILVER MEDAL

to Mr. and Mrs. R. R. M. Carpenter, of Montchanin, Delaware, for
their large estate, "Dilwyne," of good design and maintenance, with
well planted gardens, and attractive woodland walks.

A SILVER MEDAL

to Mr. and Mrs. H. Rodney Sharp, of Wilmington, Delaware, for their
beautiful home grounds, "Gibraltar." A steep hillside garden, with a
series of broad terraces, individually treated, reached by elaborate stone
stairways with wrought iron railings of intricate design. The planting
of trees, shrubs, and flowers, with the charming summer house, reach a
high degree of perfection.

A BRONZE MEDAL

to Mrs. Charles Piatt, of Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, for her lovely,
small, wall-enclosed garden, designed and planted with good judgment
and taste and maintained with loving care and enthusiasm.

A BRONZE MEDAL

to Mr. and Mrs. Francis H. Scheetz. of Old Gulph House. Ardmore,
Pennsylvania, for their small steep hillside garden of terraces, supported
by beautiful masonry and stairways, holding a perfect formal garden,
and several lovely small enclosures, and quite unique with freely-flowing
water, in narrow brimming canals, and small cascades, forming a
continuous plashing murmur.

A CERTIFICATE OF MERIT

to Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph S. Rauch, of "Lands End," Villa Nova,
Pennsylvania, for their attractive secluded place, noted for its extensive
development of woodland walks, its attractive small garden, and its
charming framed-in vista.

27

A CERTIFICATE OF MERIT

to Dr. and Mrs. Paul A. Bishop, of Cheswold Valley Road, Haverford,
Pennsylvania, for their small garden, consisting of a wall-enclosed
courtyard attractively treated, and of a small pool, with freely flowing
brook and cascade, which nestles into a forest-enclosed nook.

Respectfully submitted,

WILLIAM J. SERRILL,

Chairman.

REPORT OF THE EXTENSION COMMITTEE FOR 1941

The title of this Committee, Extension, is thoroughly justified by
the work it has accomplished in the year just closed through the increas-
ingly successful efiforts of Miss Wertsner, its Extension Secretary,
admirably sustained and advanced by Miss Root and the office force.

Statistics make a very sour diet, but it is only fair to call attention
to the fact that in the five years since this work began in 1937 to October
first of this year. Miss Wertsner's work has involved the giving of 247
addresses, mostly illustrated, returning an income to the Society of
$2,677.50, although 70 addresses were made without charge and some
20 lectures in three courses have been before the Society itself.

All of this has counted in making known The Pennsylvania Horti-
cultural Society far beyond its immediate environment. While 211 mem-
bers have been directly secured in the effort, that accomplishment, desir-
able as it is, has little relation to the way in which gardens have been
bettered, trees planted, and horticulture advanced throughout the state.

The Committee is proud that Miss Wertsner has supplemented her
extension work, during which in the fiscal year just ended she has trav-
eled more than 18,000 miles and talked to over 11,000 people. In the
office and by telephone she cared for more than 500 inquiries adding
108 letters to the sum of this helpful discussion.

Again straining your indulgence of figures, it is only fair to say
that during the year just ended Miss Wertsner took, in visits to 101
gardens, approximately 2,000 photographs in color, offering a poten-
tiality for extension work which needs only to be turned loose by the
necessary financial support to make all Pennsylvania blossom as the
rose.

The founders of this ancient and honorable Society took for it an
inclusive name. The Extension work that has been very briefly hinted
at above has paid no attention to state boundaries, and constantly to
communities in Delaware and New Jersey, in New York and Ohio, in
Virginia and West Virginia, and even in far away Oklahoma and Texas,
the Keystone State has presented horticultural advance through Miss
Wertsner.

28

On occasion we have gladly supplemented national defense efforts,
and quite naturally the local shows for which the Society is responsible
have been made matters of major attention.

Your Committee feels that the work thus reported has been well
done and worth while. If it was possible to provide an additional sup-
porting appropriation much more could be done in the direction of the
accomplishments above briefly detailed.

J. HORACE McFARLAND,

Chairman.
