tween seventy-five and 100 per cent of 

 the general level which obtained before 

 the war, but only a small part of this 

 increase went to the nurserymen them- 

 selves. By far the greatest item of ex- 

 pense in the operation of a nursery is 

 the labor expense. 



"The years 1919 and 1920 were good 

 years for the nurserymen. But during 

 the year 1921, as a general rule, they 

 had the same experience as the farmers; 

 the bottom began to fall out of the nurs- 

 ery stock market, and a large number 

 of nurseries were compelled to dispose 

 of high-priced products on a declining 

 market. Taking the country as a whole, 

 the present price level of nursery prod- 

 ucts ranges from the same to twenty- 

 five per cent above the normal level 

 which existed before the war. The 

 nurserymen have been gradually reduc- 

 ing their labor costs and other expenses 

 and, while they are not yet down to 

 the level which existed before the war, 

 they are considerably below the peak 

 level of 1920. 



Rates Increased. 



"Among other items of expense in 

 the nursery business, which have in- 

 creased considerably during the last few 

 years, but which remain at their peak 

 level, are the freight rates on nursery 

 products moving between nurseries. 

 Nursery stock moves on class rates al- 

 most exclusively. In the official classifi- 

 cation, it is classified fourth class, car- 

 loads, having been increased from fifth 

 class in 1915, and rule 25, less carloads. 

 In the western classification it is classi- 

 fied class B, carloads, and third class, 

 less carloads, these ratings having been 

 in effect for over thirty years. In the 

 southern classification it is classified 

 fourth class, carloads, and third class, 

 less carloads, these ratings having been 

 increased in 1913 from sixth class, car- 

 loads, and fourth class, less carloads, 

 when released to a value of $3 per hun- 

 dred pounds. The average length of a 

 carload haul between nurseries ranges 

 from 500 to 1,000 miles. Some of the 

 largest nurseries in the country are lo- 

 cated in the Atlantic seaboard and New 

 England territories. During llie war, 

 the fourth-class rate from New York 

 to Mississippi river points, a haul of 

 1,000 miles, was increased from 43.1 

 coiits to Sfi rents per hundred pounds, or 

 approximately 100 per cent. There are 

 a ISO some large nurseries in Iowa and 

 Missouri at points which take the Mis- 

 sissippi river basis of rates to the west. 

 During the war the class B rate from 

 Mississippi river points to Colorado com- 

 mon points, a haul of 1,000 miles, was 

 increased from 56 cents to 94i/l> cents 

 per hundred pounds, an increase of ap- 

 proximately seventy per cent. No reduc- 

 tion has been made in these rates or in 

 the rates which £.pply on less than car- 

 load movements of nursery products. 



Must Reduce Expenses. 



"The present high level of freight 

 rates is one of the factors which is im- 

 peding the movement of nursery stock 

 between nurseries, and from nurseries 

 to large planters. 



"Tlie American Association of Nurs- 

 rryiiion is of the opinion that, as the 

 rates wore increased to meet war ex- 

 penses and on a percentage basis, they 

 should now be decreased in line with 

 the gradual reduction in transportation 

 I'osts and in the same manner as they 

 were increased; to wit, on .a horizontal 

 ])ercentage basis.
