and improve our efficiency, is it not 

 high time that we make the effort to 

 have well equipped horticultural schools 

 where young men, our future orna- 

 mental horticulturists, may take a 

 course of training, and, like the wide- 

 awake farmer, learn to know the de- 

 tails of their business more thoroughly 

 than their predecessors? It seems to 

 me that horticulture in general is of 

 sufficient importance to assert its rights, 

 like manual training or any profession 

 taught in our special schools, colleges 

 and universities. 



A horticultural school, under the 

 leadership of a competent head and 

 a staff of well trained instructors, 

 would not only teach the young man 

 something about the elements of soil, 

 phosphates, hydrogen, the proper use 

 and application of fertilizers, the na- 

 ture of pests and of fungi, and the 

 right way of fighting and overcoming 

 these evils, but it would also teach him 

 system and method, two most potent 

 factors in the success of any business. 



We all know only too well the differ- 

 ence between intelligent, systematic 

 work and that of the sloven, who, like 

 the proverbial bee, keeps continually 

 at it, but, unlike the industrious in- 

 sect, achieves but poor results. 



System and method are indisputably 

 the means that were in a great meas- 

 ure responsible for the success of many 

 of our prominent growers of today. 

 Peter Henderson represented a striking 

 example of what system could accom- 

 plish in a business way, and no less an 

 authority than the great English peer, 

 Gladstone himself, tells us that "the 

 man with a method and system accom- 

 plishes more in a week than the sloven 

 will in a month." 



Modern Business Bequirements. 



Our business demands that we devise 

 means and ways of conducting it in a 

 business way. We can no longer re- 

 main passive to our own interests, nor 

 dare we ignore the methods which the 

 progressive and wide-awake farmer sees 

 fit to employ in order to adapt himself 

 to the exacting business conditions 

 that confront him today. 



The cry is already heard that the 

 "big fellows" are swallowing up the
