BUSINESS ETHICS. 



Roy F. Wilcox, ex-president of the 

 California Association of Nurserymen, 

 is the author of the following lines. 

 They were presented at a meeting of this 

 association and emphatically adopted as 

 a measure that everyone, not only nurs- 

 erymen, but florists and all other busi- 

 ness men, should live up to. They are 

 worthy of careful perusal: 



STANDARDS OP PRACTICE. 



Our vocation as nurserymen Is a high and noble 

 calling and of practical benefit to our fellowmen, 

 and we believe in ns members of the California 

 Association of Nurserymen and pledge to each 

 otlier patient service toward the upbuilding and 

 maintenance of our organization. 



We further pledge our loyalty to each other In 

 the effort for securing greater efficiency and the 

 highest standard of ethics in our business trans- 

 actions. 



We realize that, as business men, we are am- 

 bitious to succeed, but that first we desire to be 

 ethical and to achieve no success that is not 

 founded on Justice and morality and in con- 

 formity with the laws of the land. 



We will exercise care individually at all times 

 to see that every advertisement or word of mouth 

 utterance witli which we have anything to do 

 shall measure up to the plain, simple truth. We 

 stand firmly for constructive sales practices and 

 condemn without reserve any and all forms of 

 destructive sales methods. 



We are eximnents of justice and realize that It 

 Is only when we put the interest of the buying 

 public first that we obtain a Just return for our 

 efforts. 



We will conduct our business in such a manner 

 that we Bliall give a full measure of highest and 

 efficient service. 



We will use our best endeavors to elevate the 

 standards of the vocation as nurserymen and so 

 conduct our affairs that others in this vocation 

 will find it wise and profitable and conducive to 

 happiness to emulate our example. 



We realize tlie oi>i)ortunity presented by the 

 climatic and natural resources of our state and 

 country and, ns practical men and loyal citizens 

 of this land, it shall be and is our object and 

 aim to protect and develop the commercial pro- 

 duction and sale of plants and trees, seeds and 

 flowers, tiiereby advancing tlie material and so- 

 cial sides of our industry. 



We are American citizens, and as such sub- 

 scribe to tlie laws of tlie land. We believe in 

 the i'nitcd States and her people.

 Gentlemen: 



I have checked up on the results of Stim-U-planT and I am 

 very much pleased as well as surprised at results. I used 1000 

 tablets on 5000 Chrysanthemum plants and instead of 2/^ -foot stems 

 as I would have got with ordinary fertilizer from plants planted July 

 15th, I have 6-foot stems and two or three flowers per plant with 

 exceptionally firm foliage and clear, clean, bright flowers. It is 

 without doubt a wonderful stimulant. 



Yours truly, 



Fred Muchmore.

Use Stim-U-planT tablets for all greenhouse and hot- 

 bed crops. Price, delivered, $3.50 per 1000.
