CHOOSING A VOCATION.

Before advising a young man 1o 

 adopt the nursery business as ;i voca- 

 tion, think what your advice may mean 

 and what the eonseqiuMice may lie. Ke- 



inenil)or that few nurserymen are rich. 

 Sii I'ar ;i.s is known to the writer, there 

 is no nurseryman worth a tnillioii dol- 

 l.ars who has made his money in the 

 nursery business in this country. There 

 is, so far as known to the writer, no 

 nursery fiini which has ever handled 

 ;i million dollars' worth of nursery 

 stock in any one year in the regular 

 way of trade. There have been few 

 great men among nurserymen ;ind few 

 ever had high oflicial jiosition. This 

 i-alling does not promise large success 

 in a iiusiness or financial way, nor yet 

 in otlicial honois and preferments, but 

 it does promise, if faithfully followed, 

 a comfortable support and in some cases 

 a degree of luxury for its tnenibers. It 

 promises, if carefully cult iv.-ited, good 

 (diaracter and in large degree the con- 

 (idenc(> and good will of those with 

 whom you associate. 



^'ou will have the satisfaction of 

 knowing that no one does more to adorn 

 the biiiilscape, or make beautiful the 

 home of the working man. or the man- 

 sion of the rich, and no one has con- 

 tributed more to promote the pleasure 

 ;iiid good health of his fellow men than 

 the jieople who have suiiplicd the 

 planter and the ortdiardist. and the 

 landscape .artist with the fruit and 

 orntimental trees they h.ave needed for 

 their work. 'i"he iiiirs(Myman has sup- 

 plied these, and he ha.s supplied mil- 

 lions of trees for the forester and the 

 new work of conservation will from 

 every standpoint be more dependent on 

 him than on the followers of any other 

 i:illing. 



Before deciding how you would ad- 

 vise this vouiig ni;iii. let me ;isk that 

 .voii call to mind your own ex]ieriencc
