THE PROPOSED W. R. SMITH 

 MEMORIAL. 



Washington is keenly interested in 

 and will undoubtedly liberally support 

 the project to establish at the capital 

 some form of a memorial to William 

 Robertson Smith, late superintendent 

 of the National Botanic Garden, which 

 is now being urged by the florists of 

 the country through their national or- 

 ganization. It is evident from ex- 

 pressions that have been made since 

 Mr. Smith's death that he was held in 

 the highest esteem by the horticul- 

 turists of America, not merely for his 

 personal qualities but for the impor- 

 tance ot his work in promoting the 

 study and care and love of the growths 

 o£ nature. The suggestion of a me- 

 morial has come spontaneously, and 

 there is evidence that it will be given 

 practical form at the meeting of the 

 Society of American Florists and Or- 

 namental Horticulturists at Chicago 

 the 20th of this month. Already tenta- 

 tive proposals have been made for the 

 particular form the memorial is to 

 take, one of which, it is gratifying to 

 observe, is for a practical establish- 

 ment that will be of continued benefit 

 to a great number of people through- 

 out the years to come. William R. 

 Smith was so thoroughly identified 

 with official Washington that it is nec- 

 essarily recognized that any creation 

 or memorial institution in his name 

 should be located in this city. Never- 

 theless he had become a national quan- 

 tity, and now that he has passed away 

 the sentiment for perpetuating his 

 memory is country wide. There can 

 be no question of the success of this 

 project, undertaken in such a spirit. —
