THE GARDENER AND HIS FIELD. 



(Extracts from a paper read by M. C. 

 Ebel, before the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club of Boston.) 



A Misnomer. 

 "The title, 'Private Gardener,' to my 

 mind is a misnomer; and the sooner 

 the professional gardener rids himself 

 of it the sooner I believe he will come 

 into the rank to which he is rightfully 

 entitled. The dictionary defines 'pri- 

 vate' as meaning 'peculiar to, belong- 

 ing to, or concerning an individual 

 only,' and 'professional' as meaning, 

 'pertaining to, or appropriate to a pro- 

 fession or calling.' So does it not ap- 

 peal to you that the title, 'Professional 

 Gardener,' is the more dignified of the 

 two and one which distinguishes him 

 as one of a profession? 



Recognition Needed. 



"A great problem confronting the pro- 

 fession just now is how to properly 

 bring to the knowledge of people who 

 employ gardeners, the ability of the 

 practical gardener. By this I mean, 

 the one who is thorough in his pro- 

 fession, and what such a gardener can 

 accomplish if given a fair opportunity 

 to exercise his ability. Possibly I 

 should modify this statement and say 

 — again bring to their attention — for 1 

 disclose nothing new to those familiar 

 with the experience of many estate 

 owners who have become disgusted 

 with the profession as a whole over 

 rascalities practiced in the manage- 

 ment of their establishments — or mis- 

 management — by men not truly repre- 

 sentative of the profession and 

 through which many excellent oppor- 

 tunities have been lost to conscien- 

 tious gardeners, and honest men made 

 to suffer. 



Two Essentials. 



"There are two vital essentials lack- 

 ing between the average estate owner 

 and his gardener. — and one is the fail- 

 ure of the owner to encourage his 

 gardener in the good work he may be 

 doing. Many of them are inwardly 

 pleased, but will never openly mani- 

 fest it in the presence of the gardener 

 and we all know that a little merited 

 praise is appreciated by all men. The 

 other is the hesitancy on the part of 

 most gardeners to take the initiative 

 to do things. You may have a close 

 employer, not disposed to spend 

 money, but if you will accomplish 

 something for nothing to arouse his 

 interest, the chances are that if he has 

 means to do so he will eventually open 

 up to permit you to accomplish more 

 for him. And some may have a liberal 

 employer who would spend more free- 

 ly if you took the initiative to instruct 

 him how he can spend to advantage. 



The Other Side. 

 "You must not overlook the fact, 

 however, that this country has for sev- 

 eral years past been encumbered with 

 poor milionaires, men whose resources 

 are tied up in non-productive securi-. 

 ties. To some of you your employer 

 may appear to have had a change of 

 heart and to have become possessed 

 of a hoarding spirit, but I think you 

 will find them to be the same liberal 

 STienrlers when their income flows more 

 freely again. Remember, also, that a 

 gentleman's estate is a luxury which 

 is apt to seem awfully luxurious to 

 him when he finds it difficult for lack 

 of resources to properly maintain It,

and at such times you must not ex- 

 pect him to spend money when he can 

 get along without, doing so. Under 

 such circumstances just shift from na- 

 ture studying to studying a little hu- 

 man nature and then do the best you 

 can to please under conditions as they 

 exist. In most instances you will find 

 it will be appreciated when times do 

 not seem so hard. 



Mistakes. 



"I am aware that all owners of pri- 

 vate establishments, who require the 

 services of professional gardeners, are 

 not alike and that many are unreason- 

 able in their demands and expect 

 much more than they are entitled to 

 for the compensation the gardener re- 

 ceives, and where, no matter how 

 much a man may strive, appreciation 

 is never manifested. Where a gar- 

 dener comes in contact with such a 

 character, let him do the best he can 

 while he serves him. await his oppor- 

 tunity where his' services may be more 

 appreciated and when it comes, grasp 

 it. 



"Study the disposition of those you 

 serve and cater to their fads and fan- 

 cies. If called on to transform a beau- 

 tiful front lawn into a cabbage patch, 

 or to turn It Info a pasture for cattle 

 grazing, proceed with as much good 

 grace as possible, realizing that while
