The Florists' Review 



October 31, 1912. 



ADBIAN, MICH. 



Adrian was the gathering place, Oc- 

 tober 29, for the florists of Cleveland, 

 Toledo, Detroit and neighboring cities. 

 The hosts wexe Elmer D. Smith & Co., 

 and the guests numbered nearly 100, 

 including thirty-four from Cleveland, 

 thirty-five from Detroit and fifteen 

 from Toledo, with five from Defiance 

 and a number from other places. E. G. 

 Hill came from Eichmond and Richard 

 Witterstaetter from Cincinnati. The 

 visitors had been specially invited to 

 inspect the Smith chrysanthemums, and 

 the date had been fixed at a time when 

 the newer early varieties would be at 

 their best. Mr. Smith entertained his 

 guests most hospitably and gave them 

 opportunity to make copious notes, for 

 the collection of chrysanthemums 

 growing at Adrian is one of the largest 

 in the country, including all the older 

 sorts and a number of novelties which 

 the majority of the visitors never be- 

 fore had seen growing. 



After the tour of inspection, Adam 

 Graham, of Cleveland, called for a 

 vote of thanks for Mr. Smith and, after 

 laudatory remarks, called on E. G. Hill 

 for a speech. Mr. Hill referred to the 

 friendly rivalry which has existed be- 

 tween the Smith and Hill establish- 

 ments and said that Mr. Smith was 

 entitled to much credit for the work 

 he has done with the chrysanthemum. 

 He spoke in special praise of the Smith 

 variety, Chrysolora, which is this sea- 

 son winning high favor. Elmer D. 

 Smith responded briefly, stating that he 

 was n6t only pleased to have the vis- 

 itors at his place, but was delighted 

 that the attendance should have proved 

 so large. Each of the guests was pro- 

 vided with a badge, and the delegation 

 on the street made an imposing appear- 

 ance. H. S.

 decorations for the Folk-Rich wedding

 here. 



Butte, Mont. — It is reported that a 

 recent fire in the M. & B. block, next 

 door to the store of the Butte Floral 

 Co., caused considerable damage to the 

 store and its stock chiefly through the 

 soaking by water irom the fire engines.
