30 N. La SaUe St CHICAGO, ILL. 



Certain states have passed laws in- 

 tended to safeguard the purchaser in 

 the particulars just mentioned, but the 

 framers of those laws, in their eagerness 

 to protect the public, have made them 

 80 drastic that nurserymen are unable 

 to operate under them. It is believed, 

 however, that, if the nurserymen in one 

 of their own associations could furnish 

 ample protection to the public, such 

 draistic laws would not be made in the 

 future; that those now on the statute 

 books might be repealed, and, what is 

 of greatest importance, that the confi- 

 dence of the public would be strength- 

 ened and the planting of trees would 

 greatly increase. 



How shall we as nurserymen accom- 

 plish thisf As the conditions are na- 

 tional in range and not local, it seems 

 to me that it ought to be dealt with 

 nationally and not locally. We are all 

 members — or at least should be — of 

 both our state association and our na- 

 tional association. I therefore believe 

 that the state association ought not to 

 enter this work, but that we ought to 

 support heartily the movement for this 

 purpose which is already being dis- 

 cussed in the national association. 



Bonds and Sales Restrictions. 



A suggestion has been made that the 

 national association certify to the gen- 

 uineness of every purchase from any of 

 its members; to this I would add that 

 it should certify that it will return the 

 purchase price for any plant sold which 

 is not true to name, or which is dis- 

 eased in any way or has insufficient 

 roots. 



It might be objected that the asso- 

 ciation would be involving itself in a 

 large financial obligation to so certify 

 the sales of its members and I agree 

 that it ought not to undertake this re- 

 sponsibility without previously having 

 received a bond from each member, to 

 make good any loss which may be in- 

 curred by the association on hia busi- 

 ness. If this is done, there ought not 

 to be any great danger in making the 

 experiment and certainly a national 

 body could exploit by means of a pub- 

 licity campaign this service to the pub- 

 lic, in such a way that each member 

 would receive full benefit from it. This 

 can be done by the national body at 

 far less expense than if each individual 

 nurseryman attempted to do it for him- 

 self. 



The objection has also been made that 

 certifying to the genuineness of all sales 

 would be a boon to the crooks in the 

 nursery business at the expense of the 

 li«nest nurserymen. This objection 

 would be partly met by the bond which 

 I suggest that the national body should 

 require from each of its members to
