THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
THE NURSERY A BUSINESS 
AN OPPORTUNITY 
One of the weak spots in the ranks of nurserymen is, that 
they do not experiment for themselves, but allow someone 
to do it for them, accepting the results without verification. 
Such a method among up-to-date men in other lines of 
not be tolerated. The nursery business 
as a business, in a business like way, or it 
business would 
must be treated 
will be a failure. 
Root Gall is one of the many details of the nursery busi¬ 
ness which must receive practical attention. If the nursery¬ 
man is not sufficiently interested in this matter to give it his 
attention, then he should be the last man to complain be¬ 
cause others are exacting and discriminate against him. 
We must accept restrictions and legislative conditions as 
they are, and not as we think they ought to be.
