This variety was disseminated this season. We are sole agents for the sale of the originator's field-

grower, and while I am willing to ac- 

 knowledge that those of the retail divi- 

 sion of the business have been exceed- 

 ingly careless and unbusiness-like in the 

 exercise of their affairs, I cannot but 

 feel that the greater part of. the blame 

 in this trouble sliould ])e placed directly 

 at the door of the so-called wholesaler. 

 Undoubtedly this statement will bring 

 forth a storm of indignation from the 

 wholesalers. They will tell us that they 

 have conducted tlieir business in an 

 honest and upright manner, furnished 

 the retailers with stock at lowest pos- 

 sible prices, given them credit until 

 their deliveries liad l)een made, and 

 otherwise extended courtesies. 



Now, we are not denying any of these 

 claims; in fact, we are ready to ac- 

 knowledge tlie many courtesies extend- 

 ed to us by the reliable wholesalers; 

 but what has the wholesaler failed to 

 do that lie might have done! Has he 

 done anything to protect the retailer in 

 the field of trade; has he given him any 

 encouragement in enlarging his business 

 and directing the way to more extensive 

 markets; has he done anything toward 

 unifying and extending the hundreds 

 of selling organizations maintained at 

 big ex[)ense by the nurserymen througli- 

 out tliis country; has the wliolesaler 

 taken the lead in encouraging the sale 

 of the most successful varieties; has he 

 launched any campaign toward the elim- 

 ination of suicidal methods and ])erni- 

 cious practices that- have proved a 

 boomerang and a paralyzing factor to 

 the trade; has he undertaken to discour- 

 age tlie grot\'ing of worthless varieties 

 that are so often substituted for valu- 

 able sorts because of their ease of prop- 

 agation?
