The President. When the Canna Firebird was

might have been questioned. I have 

 Iheard many derogatory stories about 

 the pioneer nursery agents, but those 

 fellows are not with us now. Nursery-

 mcH in the office or in the growing de- 

 partment. Honesty and efficiency are 

 the cornerstones for any successful 

 business and nurserymen realize that 

 these virtues are just as essential in the 

 sales department as they are in any 

 other.
