You had better buy some while you can. At present

 The supply, however, is limited.

have a complaint, we are not only go- 

 ing to keep most of our old customers, 

 but are going to gain a lot of new ones. 



Out Down Credit Business. 



The question of credits has been dis- 

 cussed at nearly every nursery conven- 

 tion since our organization and to my 

 mind we are no nearer a solution of 

 the problem than when we started. 

 However, under the present conditions 

 of high-priced labor, which must be 

 paid either once a week, once every two 

 weeks, or at least once a month, only 

 those nurserymen who have the backing 

 of some strong financial institution 

 could extend any considerable amount 

 of credit. 



Credit will not pay the labor bills or 

 any of the hundred and one other bills 

 that are all cash now. While many cus- 

 tomers are perfectly good for aU the 

 credit they ask for, it would be just as 

 easy for them and much more satisfac- 

 tory to the nurseryman if they would go 

 to their bank and arrange for the money 

 they need rather than have their paper 

 offered for sale or put up as collateral 

 by the nurseryman, as is the case in 

 many instances. 



It is impossible in the present day 

 to do business to any extent in any line 

 without more or less credit. We must 

 have credit and so I presume we have 

 no right to expect all of our customers 

 to operate on a cash basis. I think as 

 a general thing, however, the nursery- 

 men are not being asked to sell on 

 credit nearly as much as was the case 

 a few years ago. In the present time 

 of unrest and inflated values, he is 

 wisest who operates as nearly as pos- 

 sible on a cash basis.
