Progressive Farmer 
Every farmer who buys fruit trees and plants — and that certainly ought to mean 
every farmer — is to be congratulated on the fact that steps have at last been taken 
which should largely eliminate the fraudulent tree and plant agents who have here-

The members of this association are determined to admit no nurseryman as a 
member unless he has a reputation for honesty and fair dealing. Every farmer who 
has to buy nursery stock hereafter will do well to make sure that the nurseryman from 
whom he orders is a member of this "American Association of Nurserymen."

gives to planters more protection than they dream of.

pense of the agent and is less liable to the mistakes and injury that may occur through 
repeated handling." United States Department of Agriculture, Farmers Bulletin No. 113.
