For years we have specialized in chrysanthemums and especially in the pro¬ 
duction of new kinds. 
We are acknowledged the originators of most American novelties of merit. 
We have done more to improve the chrysanthemum than any other firm in 
America. This, no one doubts, and the growers have realized more profit from 
these new creations than the originators. 
We have no agents, our catalogue is our salesman. 
Those desiring more explicit instructions should avail them¬ 
selves of Smith’s Chrysanthemum Manual, a description of which 
will be found on the inside of front cover.
