The Florists^ Review 



Febbuaht 23, 1922 



do not know whether you consider it 

 important or not. I am asking ques- 

 tions. In orcharding sections, this mat- 

 ter is taken care of. Men make a busi- 

 ness of spraying. I believe that many 

 small cities and towns could furnish 

 profitable employment to men properly 

 trained for the work of pruning, spray- 

 ing and caring for places not large 

 enough to warrant the single expense. 

 That is the way it is done in my home 

 town; and if it were not done that way, 

 I am quite sure it would not bo done 

 at all. Will any of your trade organiza- 

 tions take this matter up? Does this 

 association think it important? When 

 a thing is to be done, somebody must 

 do it; everybody won't. 



"Give the farmer to understand when 

 he plants fruit trees about his home 

 that something is expected of him be- 

 fore he can get results. He buys things 

 that are, in fact, unfinished products; 

 teach him how to finish them and get 

 profits out of them. He will under- 

 stand. He does not plant his corn and 

 expect it to hoe its own row; nor his 

 other crops and consider that there is 

 nothing more to do. Tell him there is 

 a lot to do with trees. They do not 

 bring their crops unaided. Extravagant 

 stories of wonderful yields sold at top- 

 market prices in places that he cannot 

 possibly reach result in nothing but 

 harm to the trade. They arouse hopes 

 that cannot be realized; they cite iso- 

 lated instances and invite their accept- 

 ance as the general and universal. 



"And planters should be told frankly 

 that not all trees are likely to live, be- 

 cause there is a certain unavoidable 

 mortality. The most skilled nurseryman 

 cannot plant a block of young trees and 

 dig an equal number at maturity. The 

 value of those that do live should be 

 emphasized. A man may plant a dozen 

 rose bushes and if one-half of them live 

 and bloom for two years or even one 

 year, he has his money's worth. A 

 rose bush costs now, how much? From 

 a dollar to a dollar and a half. That 

 would buy only half a dozen blooms at 

 an/ time of the year."
