The Rorists^ Review 



April 28, 1»M 



determined to get the "dough" while 

 the getting ia good; they have been 

 warned by level-headed nurserymen not 

 to kill the goose which lays the golden 

 egg. We hope there will not be any 

 profiteering in our line of goods, but 

 that all will realize that the future is to 

 be considered as well as the present. 

 There is no great difference in prices 

 among reliable dealers now and what 

 there is may well be charged to demand 

 and supply. I believe that all whole- 

 salers as well as retailers should come 

 together in the matter of prices and 

 form some agreement between them- 

 selves as to standard prices. The whole- 

 saler when he retails should charge re- 

 tail prices, not in-between prices, and 

 the retailer should respect wholesale 

 prices and, if he ever wholesales, charge 

 strictly wholesale prices. That would, 

 I believe, be perfectly fair to both and 

 create a better feeling toward each 

 other. 



Stock should be sold only to tho trade 

 during these exceptional times of short- 

 age and high prices; we should cater to 

 each other as much as possible and try 

 to produce all the standard stock we 

 can. The habit of selling stock to de- 

 partment stores I condemn with all the 

 power within me. It is as detrimental 

 to the trade as it is unreasonable and 

 unfair and should be condemned by 

 every fair-minded nurseryman in our 

 land. We need every rose bush, fruit 

 tree and all other stock in the country 

 to supply the legitimate trade and help 

 to stabilize business and tend toward a 

 better standard of prices. If we are to 

 be successful, we must stand together, 

 each helping the other to work out those 

 problems that will benefit us most now 

 and in the future, always remembering 

 that we are dependent upon each other 

 for much of our success in business life, 

 and so march along together, shoulder 

 to sh'oulder, toward the goal of our am- 

 bition, which is success, prosperity and 

 happiness. 



When East and West Shall Meet. 



There is in Holland, I believe, an as- 

 sociation whose members agree to sell 

 only to the legitimate trade and charge 

 standard prices. One of the same kind, 

 I understand, has been started in the 

 west. Shall we in the east, who really 

 built up the west, or gave it its start 

 with money and brains, admit that we 

 left the greater brains and business 

 push in the west and are now only sec- 

 ond-raters in comparison, or shall we 

 join hands with them on this most im- 

 portant question and make it a nation- 

 wide affair, so that trade in one section 

 of the country will not clash with the 

 trade in other sections? A great many 

 are optimistic enough to believe that 

 standard prices will be adopted in the 

 near future and will become general 

 among the reliable nurserymen of the 

 country.
