ROTANY 
If there is one study the iiurserymaji should burn the 
iniduight oil to become prolicieiil in it is Rotany. It is 
strange but true that although it is so closely eonueet(Ml 
with his practical every day work he usually know s as 
much about it as a eoimnon sailor about theology. Of 
course there is much in hook study of botany that would 
have very little hearing on his practical every day work 
in the nursery. Like the courses at school and eollegi! 
that are intended to train the mind ralher for their prac¬ 
tical application, hut a knowledge of botany opens up 
such a vast held of possibilities and is so closely con¬ 
nected w ith his w ork that any man w ishing lor a Higher 
rating than that of a nursery laborer eerlamly ouglil to 
study botany. 
If it does nothing else, it trains the pow ers of observa¬ 
tion and lits him as an investigator and to experiment 
along independent lines. It gives him an assurance tliat 
can be obtained in no other w ay. 
Prof. L. 11. Railey in his new cyclopedia of Horlieul- 
ture devotes a good portion of the hrsl volume to botany, 
indicating how fundamental such a knowledge is. 
Through botany one gets an insight into the plan oi crea¬ 
tion and the laws governing plant life. Their relation¬ 
ships, associations, harmonies and of course this has an 
important bearing on the practical w ork of proiiagatiiig, 
growing, hybridizing, storing, etc. It is perhaps not 
wise for the young man who intends to he a nurseryman 
to devote too much time to “hook larnin” before he begins 
with the spade hut a w ell balanced ration of both w ill 
produce the most eliicieiit nurseryman.
