and certain California nurseries have 

 long grown their own Mariana and 

 Mazzard stocks. No nurseryman 

 would think of importing peach stocks 

 for budding, instead of planting 

 Carolina pits and growing them him- 

 self. Carnations originally came from 

 Europe but who would look to Europe 

 today for a stock of carnation plants 

 to be grown In America? The grapes 

 now grown In California originally 

 came from France and Spain but what 

 California vineyardist would go to 

 France or Stain to stock his vine- 

 yards now? As it is with these things 

 today 80 may It be with many things 

 in the near future, whenever American 

 energy and capital, coupled with cul- 

 tural skill, sets out to produce them. 



Some one has said the old argument 

 Is always advanced that in this land 

 of ours anything can be produced that 

 Is produced elsewhere and while ad- 

 mitting the saying is applicable to 

 manufactured articles. It has been de- 

 nied that it Is applicable to the prod- 

 ucts of nature; that nature drops her 

 favors In widely scattered localities, 

 not always within the borders of our 

 own countries. In reply to such state- 

 ments the assertion may well be risked 

 that there are not a dozen articles Im- 

 ported today necessary to the florist 

 or nursery trade of the United States 

 that cannot be produced somewhere In 

 this country under the climatic and 

 soil conditions which are more favor- 

 able than the conditions often existing 

 In most of the localities where the im- 

 ported stock is produced today. 



Again, taking all of the nursery 

 stock that is imported from Holland 

 and France there are not many items 

 produced by the Holland, growers or 

 by the French nurserymen which can- 

 not be produced of superior quality in 

 a large area of country, comprising 

 the bulk of the Humboldt County (Cal- 

 ifornia) coast line and continuing 

 northward to the British Columbia 

 line. Hundreds of thousands of box- 

 wood, heretofore exclusively a Hol- 

 land product, can be seen In all stages 

 of growth in northern California and 

 the same is true of hollies, broad 

 leaved evergreens, rhododendrons and 

 all of the coniferous evergreens. The 

 hardy azaleas which have been hereto- 

 fore almost exclusively Imported from 

 Holland and Japan are now being 

 grown in the same lavish quantities 

 In northern California.
