READY NOW' 



HYACINTHS, DArrODILS, TULIPS, 3>^-in. pots, • $6.30 per 100, f. o. b. Chicae» 



The root development is complete and roots started — just brought in from 

 field beds. Hyacinths run one to a pot. Daffodils and Tulips will average three 

 flowers to the pot. These are shipped in 100 lots in paper pots, and are ready 

 for forcing in time for Easter. 



JUST AS CHEAP AS THE BULBS - ONLY SELECTED STOCK 



Order your shipment immediately, as the plants are immune from frost 

 when shipped in this semi-developed state. Retail florists who have no green- 

 houses can force these Hyacinths, Daffodils and Tulips in their store windows. 

 Your customers will take advantage of this new offering to prolong the season in 

 their homes. To be successful in this plan, order your supply at once.

with the principle enunciated, that 

 wholesale trade lists should go only to 

 bona fide nurserymen. I am not in ac- 

 cord with the methods proposed for 

 gathering tlie information as to who are 

 entitled to trade lists, but this is a dif- 

 ferent question. What I started out to 

 say is that I am in hearty sympathy 

 W'ith this reform, which is not new, but 

 which has occupied a place on every pro- 

 gram, both state, district and national, 

 for the last twenty-five years, and I am 

 definitely sure that ninety per cent of 

 our wholesale friends would not know- 

 ingly send wholesale lists to any person 

 not entitled to them. Is it not probable 

 that such irregularities can be corrected 

 within the association as it at present 

 exists? The wholesale nurseryman 

 would not run through one season with- 

 out his best customer, the retailer, and 

 I take it that whatever policies are pur- 

 sued by the few, and which work a 

 hardship or loss on the retailer, will 

 be heartily condemned by one and all 

 alike. 



Whatever is necessary to make our 

 present organization more useful in 

 serving tlie interests of all, that let us 

 do, but let that be done in union. The 

 present is perhaps the most critical pe- 

 riod in the whole life of the nursery 

 business. Beset on all sides by unfair 

 legislation, each state vying with every 

 other state in the enactment of laws 

 which are proving an onerous burden, 

 entails a fight for our very existence. 

 Many of our leading nurserymen are 

 giving up the fight because of pecuniary 

 losses and are turning their attention 

 to other lines of business, and many 

 more of us would follow their example, 

 perhaps, if we knew how to effect the 

 change without ruin. 



In such a time it behooves us to stand 

 squarely behind our chosen officers, fur- 

 nishing them the sinews of war and urg- 

 ing them on to victory. I am not in 

 sympathy with further organization, 

 but I am in sympathy with the thought 

 that we should all labor together to the 

 end that membership in the American 

 Association of Nurserymen may repre- 

 sent all that is true and best in a noble 

 and upright profession.
