Title

Smith family children at chrysanthemum farm, 1951

Description

People walk amid chrysanthemum blossoms, including two boys. Handwritten on back: "Stanley Smith, Ralph Pierson, his chief aid, Mary Louise Smith. Tommy and Skipper Smith. Here may be seen the "stringing up" that is done over every bed so that when the stems become long and are topped by a bloom, they won't fall over." (Stuart News, 13 Dec 1951)
