WAR AND NURSERY BUSINESS. 



What effect the entry of the United 

 States into the war will have upon his 

 business is a question the nurseryman 

 naturally is asking himself. Through 

 the efforts of Lloyd C. Stark, vice-presi- 

 dent of the American Association of 

 Nurserymen, this question has been an- 

 swered for the nurserymen of this coun- 

 try by the nurserymen of Canada. 



The Canadians had passed through 

 two seasons since the war began, and 

 were well into the third when they 

 answered Mr. Stark's inquiry. They 

 know what the effect has been on their 

 sales, and practically all agree that 

 business is better now than before the

war started. They have but one ad- 

 verse condition to contend with, and 

 that is the scarcity of labor. On the 

 other liaud, they say that farmers 

 never were more jirosperous than now, 

 and that they are putting some of their 

 surplus money into fruit trees, and are 

 planting much ornamental stock. 



Mr, Stark asked the nurserymen in 

 his letter to make a forecast, based 

 on tlieir experience, of what the war 

 would do to the business in the United 

 States. It is their opinion that the 

 United States will enjoy all the favor- 

 able conditions which the war has 

 brouglit about, and suffer little from 

 the adverse — the scarcity of labor. 



The following excerpts from the let- 

 ters will interest the trade: 



The war affected us most adversely 

 during 1914. By 1915 conditions had be- 

 come more stable and that year proved 

 the best year in the history of our coun- 

 try. During the following year, or 1916, 

 we increased our business more than for- 

 ty per cent and the sales this spring are 

 considerably above those of last year. 

 It is difficult for me to analyze our 

 sales definitely and state the effect the 

 war has had on them, but it is certain 

 that the large returns received by the 

 farmers for the products of their farms 

 have placed them in a far better posi- 



flFor Spring 1917 we offer a com- 

 plete list of Shade Trees, Shrubs 

 and Evergreens. Will be pleased 

 to submit prices..
