V^ASTING SURPLUS NURSERY 

 STOCK. 



Criticism at the Providence conven 

 tion of the New England Nurserymen's 

 Association of the practice of burning 

 surplus stock was justified. Why 

 should, anything, useful or ornamental, 

 be destroyed? Shurbs, plants and 

 trees which are not marketed in the 

 usual channels should be disposed of 

 in other ways — it is an economic blun- 

 der to throw valuable stock on the 

 brush pile. 



Storekeepers do not make bonfires 

 of stock not sold during the regular 

 season. Why should nursery products 

 not be treated as the left-over goods 

 of a retail merchandising house? 

 Surely the nurserymen should be able 

 to place their surplus shrubbery and 

 trees where they will be appreciated 

 without disturbing the regular trade. 

 The retail merchants have proved 

 that there is no need of destroying 

 anything that remains on their hands 

 at the season's close. — Providenc
