Montgomery's PrisciUa 



That's the name of the new pink rose! The name will be PrisciUa probably after the public has had it a while, 

 but we have had to add the prefix to cover the rules of nomenclature. 



In order to get someone who knows more about roses than we do to give an unbiased, honest opinion on the merits of 

 this rose, we have placed 12 plants of it with each of the following rose growers:

 rose sell itself! We shall be simply order takers.

that the man who produces the greatest 

 volume of business is the salesman who 

 takes pride in serving his customers 

 honestly. Why should not the nursery 

 business be as attractive to a young 

 man looking for a position as salesman 

 as any other line? I believe it should 

 be, and more so, for the nursery sales- 

 man is the means of causing more fruit 

 to be produced and more beauty to be 

 added to the home through the plant- 

 ing of trees and shrubs, all of which 

 makes a community a better place in 

 which to live. If the nursery business 

 is to expand, the traveling salesman 

 must come in for more encouragement 

 and more protection. 



The last two years have brought about 

 a higher degree of standardization in 

 prices and values, which, of course, is 

 encouraging from a retailer's stand- 

 point, and if standards are maintained 

 with honest values, as they are in most 

 other lines of trade, it will result in 

 attracting more high-class salesmen, 

 which means more planting by the 

 public. 



The future success of our business 

 depends entirely upon making the nurs- 

 ery agent's job an attractive and hon- 

 orable profession. We must protect 

 him by standardizing our prices, by im- 

 proving our methods and by elimi- 

 nuling every questionable practice that 

 can possibly exist in the nursery busi- 

 ness. We need the nursery salesman; 

 he is our one and only hope. Build 

 your business around him and it will 

 be a success.

tributes to motherhood ever penned 

 and is seeing that this goes out with 

 the Mothers' day packages. 



This holiday has provoked more trade 

 comment than even Christmas. The 

 manager of still another retail estab- 

 lishment makes the suggestion that the 

 growers are overlooking an opportunity 

 to extend their business and profits 

 when they fail to have more reasonable 

 priced potted plants ready for sale on 

 Mothers' day. "It is a foregone con- 

 clusion that there will not be enough 

 carnations to go around, and it would 

 help the salesman if he could switch 

 when they fail to have more reasonably 

 priced potted offering. There will be 

 more than enough expensive potted
