An Intimate Bit of News About America s 
Foremost Chrysanthemum Specialists 
ELMER D. SMITH & CO., Adrian, Michigan 
N March i, 1890 — just 27 years 
ago, we sent out our first Chry- 
santhemum novelty ! From that 
clay to this, we have exerted 
our energy in the development 
of new varieties until our pro- 
ducts are known the world over, 
enhancing their beauty and har- 
diness until they have become 
preeminent as a flower for every 
garden home. In 1907 we dis- 
continued all branches of flori- 
culture except Chrysanthemums, and since have given 
them our undivided attention. To-day, we are the 
acknowledged introducers of most American novel- 
ties of merit.

is the title of our catalogue which will introduce to you the product 
of one of the most unique horticultural establishments in the world — 
a nursery devoted to Chrysanthemums exclusively. It describes 
every class of ’Mums — from the tiny, but graceful Pompons to the 
most magnificent Exhibition sorts imaginable. A copy of this book 
should be in the library of every garden hobby-ist. Please write for 
it TO-DAY — it’s free.
