The Toledo Blade December !» printed 

 an interview with Edward G. Greening, 

 of the Greening Nursery Co., Monroe, 

 Mich., under the caption, "Trees Appre- 

 ciate in Value While Houst' Depreciates."

 v.alue to Mr. Greening's firm, but helps 

 to educate the general public to look on 

 nursery products as investments and not 

 iis mere ornaments.

THE NURSERYMAN'S SERVICE. 



Relations of the nurseryman to his 

 customer, far different from those of 

 most other sorts of merchants, are de- 

 scribed, in a way that should urge those 

 who follow this profession to make the 

 most of the opportunities so presented 

 to them, by (Jeorge ('. Koeding, presi- 

 dent of the Fancher Creek Nurseries, at 

 Fresno, Cat, as follows: 



''In this ilay of ])rogress business is 

 being divided uj) into two classes. In

 jileted without any further exactions

 a reckoning which either redounds ti 

 tlie credit of the man or firm who n 

 ceives the customer's money for thi

 ' ' In most lines of business where dc 

 ccption has been practiced on a cus

 time when he learns of the sharp prac 

 tice. It is in this one respect that the
