tree" ia the slogan used in Morrisville, 

 Pa. F. VV. Rane, State Forester of 

 Massachusetts, did not recommend the 

 planting of one tree, but whole for- 

 ests. 



C. H. Greaton, of Providence, said 

 that the outlook for 1919 was unusual- 

 ly good. The growing interest to dec- 

 orate home grounds and trying to 

 outdo one's neighbors in that respect 

 was a great asset, all of which tends 

 to bring more work for the nursery- 

 men. He believed that all the good 

 stock in the country would be called 

 for this spring. 



Among the slogans received for the 

 Market Development campaign were 

 "America Bountiful and Beautiful," 

 "America the Beautiful," "True to 

 Name, Free from Pest, Delivery 

 Guaranteed."
