The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Januabt 2, 1908. 



ADRIAN, MICH. 



It is announced that on January 1 the 

 old firm of Nathan Smith & Son passed 

 out of existence, all its assets being 

 taken over by the new firm of Elmer D. 

 Smith & Co. As fast as Mr. Smith can 

 close them out, several lines will be dis- 

 continued and in the future his atten- 

 tion will be given exclusively to chrys- 

 anthemums and growing asters for seeds. 



Fairmont, W. Va. — E. M. Hall has 

 moved into his new store, adjoining his 

 former place. 



Montgomery, Ala. — S., B. Stern & Co. 

 say: "The future of the florists' busi- 

 ness, and also, we think, of the nursery 

 business, is very encouraging over the 

 entire south. The country is developing 

 with wonderful rapidity and people are 

 growing rich enough to want the beau- 

 tiful things of life as well as the useful. 

 Wherever a love for the beautiful takes 

 firm hold, there flowers will be sold. ' '
