merous other things that cause a serious 

 loss. Then the largest loss of all, that 

 is seldom taken into consideration, is 

 that when the trees are grown and ready 

 for market there is a tremendous amount 

 of wastage; that is, trees that are not 

 marketable for some cause or other — 

 these are thrown on the brush pile. Then 

 there are the trees that are not sold 

 when they are at a marketable age; 

 these also have to go on the brush pile. 

 When all these losses are taken into 

 consideration, the profit on what have 

 been sold is cut down materially and 

 someone has to pay for it, which is the 

 nurseryman, who balances up his books 

 at the end of the year and wonders 

 where his profit has gone. He has 

 been counting this up in both seasons, 

 spring and fall, and feels confident he 

 has made a lot of money until he bal- 

 ances up. It is certainly time for nurs- 

 erymen to get their houses in order; the 

 time when things can be put on a proper 

 basis has arrived. There is going to be 

 a scarcity of good stock in the nursery 

 market for the next two or three years 

 and prices should be so arranged that a 

 good average profit can be made." 



CONDITIONS AND FSOSPECTS. 



Asked about the supply of fruit trees

 ties are scarce and what plentiful this 

 season, David C. Stranger, of the Cherry 

 Hill Nurseries, West Newbury, Mass.,

feel that little can be ascertained unless 

 it be the fact that American growers, 

 with few exceptions, have more orna- 

 mental stock than they had last year. 

 Fruit stock, however, is reported to be 

 scarce and it would be safe to say 

 that there is not more than sixty per 

 cent of the amount of stock there was in 

 this country in 1916. 



''The present outlook is encouraging 

 for the 1919 season, but according to 

 our experience up to the present with 

 the 1918 season, it reaches only two- 

 thirds of the vekime of bueinces of the 

 1917 season. This seems to be the con- 

 dition with most nurserymen whom we 

 have talked with. As for the financial 

 condition, we venture to say that the 

 nurseryman who breaks even for the 

 season of 1918 will be fortunate indeed. 



"This may seem a pessimistic view, 

 but when you consider the enormous 

 shortage of labor, the amount of stock
