* ' One weakness of the nurserymen for 

 the last ten or fifteen years has been 

 that they have grown twice as many 

 trees and plants as have been needed 

 and for that reason we have pushed the 

 sale of nursery stock hard, we have 

 extended credit to every nook and cor- 

 ner of the country and the loss has been 

 heavy. 



Finandug the Nurseriee. 



"I am of the candid opinion that if 

 every nurseryman in the country would 

 do his business strictly on a cash in 

 advance basis and have the large deal- 

 ers and consumers go to the nursery 

 and select stock for themselves and 

 others and secure their discounts, it 

 would be far better for the men doing 

 the buying and planting. In addition 

 the nurserymen would not be carrying 

 on their books hundreds and thousands 

 of bad accounts that take from one to 

 five years to collect. In doing this it 

 has been necessary in the past to 

 charge, in some cases, apparently ex- 

 orbitant prices for goods to the man 

 who actually did pay the bill. 



"If this were done, we would be able 

 to reduce the selling price of nursery 

 stock to a minimum. But it must be borne 

 in mind that the man with the spade and 

 shovel must be paid more wages than 

 he has received for the last ten or fif- 

 teen years. We will not return to old 

 conditions; in fact, we have no desire to 

 return to them, but we must pay the 

 price to the people who actually do the 

 work and the cost of growing nursery

stock will be far in excess of what it 

 has been in the past. Then let us sell 

 nursery stock for what it cost us, plus 

 a reasonable profit. It will be far better 

 for the grower and for the man who buys 

 and plants. The nursery business can be 

 made more stable than it is at the pres- 

 ent by adopting some or all of the 

 above methods." 



KANSAS CONDITIONS. 



Beports from Kansas say that in the 

 southwestern section of the country the 

 nurserymen have had all the business 

 they could handle with the present sup- 

 ply of labor. When the season's busi- 

 ness was figured up, however, they found 

 that they had done better in dollars and 

 cents than in the last several years. 

 Stock, such as peach, Japanese plum and 

 grapevine, is practically exhausted in 

 that section and the nurserymen are at 

 a loss to know how they are going to 

 secure enough to fill orders for spring 

 delivery. Other fruit stock seems to 

 be in sufficient supply to go around,

Ornamentals have been in larger de- 

 mand than usual this fall, and there 

 seems an excellent prospect that this 

 class of business will increase next 

 spring. The nurserymen say, however,
