ONE VIEW OF SITUATION. 



"Almost all of the western fellows 

 have the same tale to tell," says a 

 Kansas nurseryman, "and this is it: 

 Too busy, having to put in about six- 

 teen hours per day to keep things go- 

 ing on account of shortage of help; 

 season backward and with an extra 

 amount of moisture and loss of so much 

 time owing to rainy days that nearly all 

 western nurserymen are snowed under; 

 vo chance for additional help in the 

 near future, as the big harvest is about 

 on and all available help will be re- 

 quired at fancy wages and the poor 

 nurseryman must sit back and do the 

 best he can. 



"The outlook is good for business, 

 with the shortest supply of fruit stock 

 that the country has had for many 

 years. The question that is now bother- 

 ing the retail men is, will stock get so 

 high that they cannot afford to buy and 

 will they have to stop sellingf They 

 feel that there is a limit above which 

 stock cannot be retailed. They feel that 

 if prices get too high it will soon be the 

 same old thing of too much stock and 

 too big brush piles, with a big cut in 

 prices each year." 



THE CHICAaO CONVENTION. 



It Will Make Trade History. 



The forty-fourth annual convention of 

 the American Association of Nursery- 

 men will be held at the Hotel Sherman, 

 Chicago, June 25 to 27 and, to quote

 make history." ^ — s
