"Many a man intensely 

 )ractical in his own business 

 /ill give his order to the lowest 

 'idder among competing nurserymen 

 nd waste years looking at sickly, strug- 

 ing or dying trees, shrubs and perennials 

 bout his home, rather than invest a little 

 lore money and get satisfaction and joy 

 "om the start. Poor stock is dear at any 

 ice." — Neltze Blanchan in ''The American 

 'lower Garden.''
