The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Junk 16, 1910. 



as a nurseryman. Do not forget the 

 <lrought that cut short your crop, nor 

 the hail storm that destroyed it when 

 it was partly grown. Do not forget the 

 bogus dealer who bought a big bill of 

 you and then paid nothing. Do not 

 forget the man who came to you with 

 fair promises and whom you trusted 

 and then, when pay-day came, lie laughed 

 at you and did not even thank you. Do 

 not forget the railroad company that 

 delayed your trees en route so your 

 plans for your packing were altogether 

 disarranged, and when you shipped 

 them out failed to get them to the 

 place of delivery on time, and then re- 

 fused to make good the loss their neg- 

 lect had caused — for if you are a nurs- 

 eryman you have suffered all these 

 things and probably more. You have 

 done your best work and seen it fail 

 to bring the results you thought should 

 have been realized. 



While all these things are true and 

 they brought loss and trouble, do not 

 forget you also have had your measure 

 of success, the bright sunshine and the 

 gentle rain and the fertile acres, and 

 the efforts you have been able to put 

 forth have brought you a measure of 

 success that has given you much satis- 

 faction. Life to you has been a battle 

 and you have felt the joy of victory 

 much more often than you have felt the 

 sting of defeat, and the sum of your 

 victories has been so much greater than 

 the sum of your defeats that now you 

 look over the past and say you have 

 been the better and are' today the 

 stronger for the opposition you have 

 met. It must be remembered that riches 

 and official honors, and the honors that 

 many esteem so highly, are not the 

 greatest things in life. You feel 

 stronger for the fight you have made 

 and your experience is worth much, so 

 that from the present as we look back 

 we say we have more to be thankful 

 for than we have to complain of, and 

 we should not hesitate to say, or in any 

 way qualify the statement, we are glad 

 we have given our life to the calling 

 of the nurseryman and we should ad- 

 vise, if the young man was a suitable 

 man for sucii calling, that he go for- 

 ward to his life work as a nurseryman 

 with courage and hope and a purpose 

 to succeed, believing that if he will he 

 may succeed well.
