IN OUR OWN BEHALF. 
The publishers of this journal have noted with much 
satisfaction the hearty commendations of their enterprise 
received by every mail from all sections of the country. 
Particularly gratifying are the expressions of appreciation 
of its value as an advertising medium. In these days of 
busy competition the successful business man has learned 
that he cannot afford to depend upon old methods. He 
must have a direct and certain means of reaching those 
whom he seeks. Every enterprising advertiser knows 
from experience in his own case that the average adver¬ 
tising circular sent through the mail is consigned almost 
immediately to the waste basket by the recipient. 
The advantages of such a journal as The National 
Nurseryman in this connection are apparent. Here 
is a publication that represents the trade. It circulates 
throughout the country, and is found upon the desk of 
every grower and dealer, who is impelled to read it by 
reason of the views of leading men there represented ; 
and the journal is preserved on file for future reference. 
Nurserymen themselves say it is a credit to the trade. 
When, therefore, the advertisement of a firm appears 
regularly in its columns, in company with those of the 
leading nurserymen of the country, it is a perpetual 
reminder of a source of supply for the wants of all. 
The National Nurseryman displays its advertise¬ 
ments in the most attractive form known, gives liberal 
discounts, and assures its patrons satisfactory returns. 
Advertisements on long terms may be changed as often 
as desired, and thus form a means of bulletining the 
latest acquirements or wants. These columns offer 
superior advantages for listing surplus stock.
