ON TREES AND BIRDS. 



43 



The "tree agent," generally speaking, has but 

 two objects: First; to sell a person all the "stock" 

 he can get him to purchase. Second; to get the 

 money for this dishonest work. It is dishonest to 

 force the sale of unnecessary trees, because it is a 

 damage to the property to have them where they 

 are not needed. The nurseries all print catalogs ; 

 (we prefer printing this word as it is pronounced) 

 order your stock direct ; in this way you will not 

 be apt to find your "Northern Spy" to be a wild 

 seedling.
