NURSERY STOCK. 



Although during the past season the amount of cheap and 

 inferior nursery stock introduced into the State has been greatly 

 reduced in comparison with former seasons, we still are paying 

 good money in purchasing practically worthless stock. For 

 many of us are willing to buy whatever the agent has to sell, 

 without looking into the standing of his firm. 



As an appeal to the buyer, would say, — first inform yourself 

 through your neighbor's experience, secure catalogues with the 

 accompanying price lists in order to get a check on the agent, 

 write the nursery firms and ask questions, ask information from 

 the editor of your paper; and secondly, use common sense.
