Advertising can do two things; it can 

 create business, or it can divert business. 

 Now would be an excellent time for the 

 nurserymen 's market development plan to 

 be at work to divert the present demand 

 to stock nurserymen are able to supply. 



William A. Peterson, proprietor of 

 Peterson Nursery, Chicago, has sold a

 Harrison, of Harrison's Nurseries, Ber-

Our home office in Boskoop tells us that we must be careful 

 about accepting orders after that time. We had a big stock at 

 the beginning of the season and still have a reasonable supply of 



Rhododendrons, Buxus, Retinisporas, Juniperos, Thuya, 

 Spruces, Japanese Naples, Clematis, Dutchman's Pipe, 



and other Holland Specialties 



American nurserymen are planning for a big trade in ornamentals. 

 This demand, with the announced import restrictions, is likely to create 

 a shortage in many lines. We suggest that you take time by the 

 forelock and send us your want list for quotation. Our wholesale cata- 

 logue is ready and will be mailed on request.

 in the fruit tree line. 



"There is a limited amount of fruit

 ply of shade trees, liie Norway maples 

 and other standard trees, and there is 

 going to be a strong demand. There is 

 already a good demand in this line, be-
