HORTICULTURE IN THE ASCEN- 

 DANT. 



"Man has been in quest of rural 

 happiness ever since the expulsion of 

 Adam and Eve from the garden of 

 Eden. He has tried the large grain 

 and stock farm, only to find the long 

 winter too lonesome or his work too 

 much isolated from his neighbors, so 

 he gladly exchanged the country for 

 what appeared to be a charming city 

 life, hut now we see men from all 

 walks of city life seeking homes in 

 the rural districts of the United States, 

 not to become general farmers, but to 

 take up some special phase of the 

 work and in the majority of instances 

 it is fruit growing." 



W. a. Thornbei, professor of horti- 

 culture at the experimental station at 

 Washington State College, Pullman, 

 said this on a recent visit to Spokane, 

 when he also delivered an address be- 

 fore the Spokane County Horticultural 

 Society. 



"The Yankee of today," he added, 

 "is true to his former traits; those 

 living in the city are in quest of rural 

 happiness, while those of the country 

 are looking forward to the time when 

 they will have money enough to revel 

 in the joys of city life." 



"Horticulture in its broad sense ma- 

 terially aids in solving this problem 

 inasmuch as it demands small farms, 

 thickly populated sections, which 

 makes possible electric railways and 

 lights, telephones, rural mail routes 

 and, in a measure, combines the best 

 of city and country In one useful and 

 busy life. 



"Many are desirous of becoming pro- 

 ficient in the craft, but expect to do so 

 only in a classroom or well-equipped 

 library. Such men can never learn to 

 thoroughly appreciate the work until 

 they have come in personal contact 

 with all the practical phases of the 

 work, but the west demands a practi- 

 cal man — one who can do as well as 

 tell the other fellow how to do. 



"The department of horticulture has 

 had 26 calls for trained horticulturists 

 in the last 12 months, at salaries rang- 

 ing from $1,200 to 1,400 a year for the 

 small farm, to from ^.^.OOO to $5,000 

 for the company orchards. These calls 

 have been without exception for theor- 

 etical as well as for practical men. 

 They say it is not good form to look 

 ahead too far, but judging from the 

 demands of the last 15 years a thor- 

 oughly trained horticulturist will have 

 no difficulty in securing a first-class 

 position in the future. 



"The broad scope of the field of 

 practical horticulture is in a measure 

 responsible for this demand for trained 

 men. A prominent horticulturist said 

 recently the field is so broad that a 

 person may follow any one of 26 gen- 

 eral lines of work and yet remain en- 

 tirely within the ranks of the profes- 

 sion. 



"When one considers the almost un- 

 limited opportunities that are open to 

 trained nurserymen, florists, seedmen, 

 landscape gardeners, fruit growers, 

 plant breeders, experiment station 

 ■workers and teachers of horticulture, 

 he is then able to more fully appreci- 

 ate the extent of the field of horticul- 

 ture that has been opened to the
