I am a ic'j^ulai’ r(‘a(l(M' of Tlio National Niirsoiyman, 
lind it inloresting and many tim(*s very ludpi’ni. I hav(' 
always believc'd it stood for the best inter(‘sls of th(' nnr-

An article in the May number iiiub'r tbe title “The 
Niiisery iMiijjloyee, by on(‘ who has been tbrougb the 
mill,” makes me wonder wbat good reason there might 
stimulate and eneouiage tlu' Ix'sl of oui' boys to ent(M' tlu' 
busiiK'ss, l(*ai'n it thoroughly, ebaig<‘ price's eomnu'iisur- 
al(' w itb tlu' skill and industry attaelu'd to bis work and 
the nui'se'ry busiiu'ss will be pul on a plane' the' e'epial of 
any e)lbe'r ti’aele'. As a ee)ntrasl, I e*all ye)ur atle'iilion to 
the article' by Prof. White', of Lorne'll Unive'isily. in a re'-

be lor pid)lisbing such an article.* Surely it cannot 
elo tbe traele much goeetl and can unsettle a led ot yeeung 
men wlu) are ne)w leeetking fetrwarei te) seune tuture in tbe 
business. 
I tbnk many of tbe statements are unfair to even 
present ceenditions. as bad as they are', leer I have neeleel 
that tb(' ye)ung man in the' nursery business wlu) ])uts tbe 
same kinel of ginger and interest inte) bis weerk gets there' 
just about as well as tbe young felleew in any otbe'r traele. 
It is true that be may wetrk leeng beeurs during tbe busy 
season, but tbe're are few trades in which the'ie' are ne)t 
seeine le)ng be)ui’s. It is true that be has a elillicult jeeb 
anel must be a many-sideel man tee gel lliei-e, but Ibis 
makes the' ce)ntest all tbe me)re inle'i’csting anel tbe de've'l- 
ojane'iit eef tbe be)y tbe bi'oaele'r. 
Batbei- than an article elisce)uraging yeeung men fi-e)m 
eidering and slicking to the' business, why met eene te)
