The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Beptbmbbr 28, 1911. 



man a chance to do Ms best, I do not 

 mean that we should make cheap prices. 

 The question of opportunity and hon- 

 esty is not necessarily dependent on 

 whether prices are high or low. I mean 

 we should give the salesman a square 

 deal, that our catalogues and instruc- 

 tions to salesmen should tell the truth; 

 that, no difference whether we sell an 

 apple tree for $1 or for 10 cents, that 

 apple tree should be as good a tree as 

 we promise and bear the fruit we say it 

 will. Uniform prices to the retail trade 

 are not practicable. There are com- 

 munities where sales are light and con- 

 sequently higher prices must be 

 charged. There is the city trade, which 

 demands the largest and best trees. 

 The actual cost of the tree may not be 

 more than 2 cents above the cost of 

 grades sold in thousand lots to farmers, 

 but the cost of selling one to a dozen 

 trees to a customer and handling the 

 business as the city trade demands may 

 make it necessary to charge 50 cents 

 per tree more in the city than in the 

 country. 



It is written in the Book: "As a 

 man thinketh in his heart, so is he." 

 If a stranger walks up to a group of 

 ten people, nine of them will size him 

 up iibout right. The fact that this is 

 true proves that the Creator has writ- 

 ten and is writing on our faces and 

 forma just what we are. God does 

 nMU<;ht by halves. The fact that we 

 can read part of the writing proves 

 that it is all written. If a traveling 

 £>»le3?iian carries in his own mind the 

 consciousness that he is giving real 

 value for the money and doing a real 

 service to the community in which he 

 sells trees, his very looks will inspire 

 confidence in the minds of the people. 

 If the nurseryman who employs him has 

 loaded him up with a mess of trickery 

 and a bundle of lies to be dickered off 

 on the people, that man will know in 

 his own mind that he is playing the 

 rascal and there wUl be something 

 about him which wUl, in spite of his 

 glib tongue and polished appearance, 

 cause the people to doubt him. He will 

 be constantly under the necessity of 

 sparring for time or scheming for the 

 attention of the people he calls on. 

 And so I say the retail nurseryman wUl 

 increase his business and do the trade 

 a real service by giving his agents a 

 square deal and an honest proposition 

 to offer to the people.
