principal nurseries of the world give them a knowledge of stock 
and prices not obtainable by any ordinary buyer. 
This Company expects to continue giving buyers of nursery 
stock an unequaled and constantly improving service. In addition 
to giving its employees an opportunity of becoming stockholders, it 
offers annual prizes for improvement in packing, for improvement 
in filling orders, and improvement in growing stock. These prizes 
consist of the payment of all expenses in connection with visits 
to famous gardens and nurseries in America and Europe. 
This Company hopes, in addition to making a commercial 
success, to establish a first-rate horticultural school of practical 
training, which will enable* young men to become nurserymen, 
landscape architects or gardeners. A reading-room and a horticul¬ 
tural library is maintained, and employment will be given to a 
limited number of young men who wish to obtain a horticultural 
training.
