YOU WILL MAKE NO MISTAKE 



in placing the order for your next year's greenhouses now. The best 

 grade of the old genuine Louisiana Red Gulf Cypress is scarce and will 

 be more so next spring, while the cost of labor will be higher than it 

 is now. , 



Our patent LEAK-PROOF locked gutter has proven a success. If 

 you are not using the same as yet, do so on your next houses and we 

 know we can add your name to our list of satisfied customers.

COUNT YOXTE COSTS. 



CCoDcluded frum page 112.] 



but we must now. It should be consid- 

 ered as a fixed expense, for the brush 

 pile will always be a part of the nurs- 

 ery business, at least until we become 

 blessed with a foresight that will en- 

 able us to look into the future and fore- 

 cast conditions and the state of the 

 planter's mind a few years in advance 

 of^our planting. 



Beplacements Add to Expense. 



The item of replacements is another 

 cost that many of us do not take into 

 consideration and, while it is something 

 that should not enter into the business 

 on account of its abuse, it has become 

 a custom to make replacements under 

 certjJn conditions and in many in- 

 BtShces it is carried to extremes. How- 

 ever, whether great or small, it is a 

 cost that must be charged against either 

 the growing or the selling of the stock. 



In years gone by these items did not 

 appear to be worth bothering with, but 

 with the increased cost of production 

 they must be taken into consideration, 

 as they may mean the difference be- 

 tween success and failure. 



The point I wish to make in bringing 

 out these matters is that many of us do 

 not know what our stock costs us. If 

 we did, we should either go out of busi- 

 ness or grow less of those varieties that 

 are the most hazardous. Not many of 

 us would grow stock that we knew 

 would not sell for more than 20 cents 

 under the best conditions, if we knew 

 that it was going to cost us that much 

 to grow it; but when we fool ourselves 

 into believing that it is only going to 

 cost us 10 cents, we go blindly ahead, 

 thinking that we are going to make 100 

 per cent on our investment.
