The above illustrates the illuminated scroll awarded 
ELMER D. SMITH for his untiring efforts in the production 
and improvement of the various types of the Chrysanthemum. 
Since the spring of 1890 this firm has each year offered 
the public a collection of new varieties which have included 
all types. 
During these years, including the present, those of our 
origination number 615, many of which are most outstanding 
and popular at the present time.
