LICENSED NURSERY AGENTS. 



During the past season 72 nursery agents have been licensed 

 to sell stock in the State of Maine. The Department has come 

 across evidence that certain other parties have been engaged 

 in the nursery business and steps are under way to bring these 

 men to account. With the addition of these men, however, 

 the total will be less than 100, which shows a decrease of over 

 50 per cent from last year. This decrease is due in part to the 

 license fee, but more largely to the very attractive prices of- 

 fered in the catalogues of nursery firms dealing directly with 

 the grower. The business of selling trees by making a house 

 to house canvas is becoming more difficult each year as most 

 nursery firms pay the agent at least 25 per cent of the listed 

 price, consequently cannot meet the attractive prices offered 

 by firms selling without agents. As the stock and guaranty 

 does not differ materially, it is difficult to explain to the grower 

 why he should pay this commission. 



The following table gives the licenses expiring in 191 5 and 

 1916:
