' ' I think it would be a good , thing 

 if you could publish this information; 

 otherwise an impression might get 

 abroad that nurserymen here were un- 

 able to fulfill the obligations imposed

EXTENDING WHOLESALE TRADE. 



[A paper by E. S. Welch, of Shenandoah, 

 la., read at the convention of. the American 

 ABBoclatlcn of Nurserymen In St. Louis, June 

 14 to 16, 1911.] 



In many cases the . nurseryman who 

 grows stock extensively must depend 

 largely upon selling his product at 

 wholesaip to the retailer. For the pro- 

 duction of the best class of trees, 

 shrubs, etc., the personal attention of 

 the owners of a large nursery plant is 

 usually required. It is often difficult, 

 therefore, to find time to distribute the 

 product direct to the ultimate consumer. 



Orowttig Desirable Stock. 



All of us can help extend our whole- 

 sale market by producing a better grade 

 of trees, by being careful to grow the 

 hardiest and most desirable varieties, 

 and by encouraging the distribution and 

 planting of such stock as will give the 

 planter the best possible results. Su- 

 perior varieties of nursery stock, prop- 

 erly grown when planted, will be the 

 means of increasing the demand for de- 

 sirable stock at prices profitable to the 

 grower. , I \J!.,,

pies; Montmorency, Bing and Wragg 

 cherries; the Japanese varieties of plum; 

 weeping birch, elm and mulberry; Frau 

 Karl Druschki and rambler roses; Clem- 

 atis paniculata and other varieties, too 

 numerous to mention — the introduction 

 of all these, I say, has been the means 

 of a wonderful extension of the whole- 

 sale market for nursery stock. 



The nurseryman can materially assist 

 in creating a demand for the best and 

 most desirable varieties, by planting 

 freely himself, and giving the necessary 

 attention to producing the best possible 

 results. 



Encouraging Civic Improvement. 

 He should be an active member of the 

 improvement clubs and various organi- 

 zations interested in civic improve- 

 ments, and he should take the lead in 

 organizing them, not from a selfish 

 standpoint alone, for he should realize 

 the great benefits that will accrue to all 

 communities from the planting of trees, 

 flowers, roses, etc. While such activity 

 will enlarge the markets for nursery 

 products, it is also the duty of the 

 nurseryman, as a patriotic citizen, to 

 encourage the beautifying of our coun- 

 try. What is there that will add to the 

 beauty and value of real estate like the 

 planting of fruit ttees and, ornamental 

 nursery stock!

The nurseryman who can develop and 

 introduce additional varieties of su- 

 perior merit, in all lines of horticulture, 

 will materially assist in the extension 

 of our markets. The recent develop- 

 ment and advancement of our nation in 

 growing fruits has created a greater ne- 

 cessity for growing trees in wholesale 

 quantities. Street, park and orna- 

 mental planting is rapidly following in 

 all parts of our country; hence the 

 nurseryman has a brpad field for the 

 development and , ex,tensioj)L, of our 

 wholesale markets. '
