Lew Smoots is conducting a prosper- 

 ous nursery business near Springfield, 

 Mo., where his brother, John Smoots, also 

 has a farm. 



The majority of the customs reap- 

 praisements of imports of nursery stock 

 this season have been simply advances by 

 the addition of packing charges. The 

 government insists that duty be paid on 

 the packing. 



At the Oak Hill Nurseries, in Frank- 

 lin, Mass., owned by M. T. Twomey, a 

 building and its contents, including a 

 horse, carriages, hay, nursery stock, etc., 

 were completely destroyed by fire August 

 7. The loss was estimated at $5,000, 

 with only partial insurance. Manager 

 Timothy Buckley, George Boucher and 

 three others were sleeping in chambers 

 on the upper floor, but all escaped by" 

 jumping from windows. 



EVILS OF THE EEPLACE POLICY. 



[A paper read by J. R. Mayhew, of Waxa- 

 Uachie, Tex., before the American Association 

 of Nurserymen at the Denver convention, con- 

 tinued from the Review of August 11.] 



After reviewing the reason for taking 

 up the question of policy in replacing 

 stock at less than full price, and its 

 effect on the customer, also on the sales- 

 man, Mr. Mayhew continued: 



The Effect on Deferred Payments. 



We may preach settlement in cash 

 all we deem advisable, but, neverthe- 

 less, a certain per cent of each year's 

 business will continue to be settled by 

 note, sometimes A/ell secured, but more 

 frequently by plain note of hand and 

 always of questionable value. Espe- 

 cially is this true of all southern terri- 

 tory, where the farmer depends largely 

 on one crop that is available as a source 

 of money in the fall or winter. 



Is it true that the policy of replace 

 influences the worth of your bills re- 

 ceivable? Unquestionably it does. In 

 the first place, orders settled by note 

 one year after date represent the hard 

 collections. You do not take a note 

 because you want the paper; neither 

 does the customer give the note because 

 he wants your goods. It is a matter 

 of compromise on the part of both. 

 Your collector is pressed for time, can

 from 2^ to 3 feet, 8 to 12 branches, and were cut 

 back last fall. We have about 12 acres of this 

 grade growing on leased land; we have been
