mal. The statements I have just made, 

 of course, apply to the entire period 

 since the beginning of the war. 



"In the last few months conditions 

 have taken a radical change for the 

 better, and now almost every business 

 in every section is already radiating, 

 or about ready to radiate, with opti- 

 mism. The press of the United States a 

 few months ago was predicting pros- 

 perity; now we hear, see and feel that 

 prosperity has arrived. Times are bet- 

 ter; there is no one who will attempt 

 to gainsay that fact. The nursery busi- 

 ness has greatly improved and the out- 

 look for spring is much brighter. 



Agricultural Prosperity. 



"This return of prosperity, some 

 nurserymen will tell you, is due to the 

 war — munition orders, war prices for 

 grain crops, the big increase in our 

 trade balance with Europe, the big in- 

 crease in our gold reserve. Those who 

 assign these reasons only, fail to reach 

 the basic causes, which, my investiga- 

 tion shows, are — and this applies par- 

 ticularly to the nursery business — the 

 enormous crops and the exceptionally 

 high prices prevailing for the season 

 just closed. The nursery business is 

 largely dependent on the purchasing 

 power of the farmer. When he is in a 

 buying mood nursery stock moves; 

 when he is feeling pessimistic our sales 

 drop. In 1913 and 1914 the farmer 

 passed through two withering droughts; 

 the south suffered severe losses in cot- 

 ton and the nurserymen felt the re- 

 sults. So did the large orchard com- 

 panies, many of which ceased to exist 

 and others of which have had hard 

 sledding. The big commercial plant- 

 ings dropped off rapidly. Last year we 

 had good crops and the country banks 

 are full of money. Farmers feel pros- 

 perous and in the last few weeks have 

 begun to buy trees somewhat in the 

 old-time manner. If nothing unfore- 

 seen shall occur we may expect a much 

 better spring than last.
