WILLIAM R. SMITH MEMORIAL. 

 The following circular letter Is being 

 sent to members of the S. A. F. 



Your Committee appointed at the 

 Chicago Convention for the erection at 

 the National Capital of a suitable 

 memorial to the late William Robert- 

 son Smith, "The Father of our Char- 

 ter " has been continuously at work, 

 and has decided that the monument 

 should be useful as well as ornamental 

 in the shape of a memorial building or 

 educational garden. 



It is hardly necessary for your Com- 

 mittee to remind you that Mr. Smith 

 was for more than fifty years Super- 

 intendent of the United States Botanic 

 Garden, at Washington. D. C, and an 

 honored member of the Society of 

 Florists and Ornamental Horticultur- 

 ists from the time of its organization. 

 Your Committee, therefore, asks 

 that you now send your subscription 

 addressed to William F. Gude. Chair- 

 man, 1214 F Street, N. W.. Washing- 

 ton D. C so that the memorial may 

 take tangible form at the earliest pos- 

 sible date. 



We trust that your contribution will 

 be a liberal one for this worthy cause, 

 that the florists of the United States 

 may show their appreciation of the 

 man who did so nnicli towards promot- 

 ing and uplifting our calling. 



Awaiting an early and favorable re- 

 ply, we are. Respectfully.

 vious".
