DON’T TRY TO PUSH IT ALONE— 
Become a Member of A. A. N.’s Family and “Go Over the Top” 
Listen! 
Do you think it's merely coincidence that practically all the leading nurserymen in the country are 
members of the American Association of Nurserymen? 
It is not. 
Any one of these men will tell you that he owes his success in no small part to the fact that he has 
been a member of the American Association of Nurserymen. 
Ask any member of the American Association and see what he says about it! 
There is no way in which you can make an investment of a few dollars that will help your business 
so much as becoming a member of the American Association. 
The dues are as small as $10.00 per year. 
TEN REASONS WHY YOU 
Should Join the American Association of Nurserymen 
To Know Wliat is Going 1 on in the Nursery Industry— 
Isn’t it worth dollars and cents to your business for you 
to know promptly and accurately just what is going on in 
the industry? What changes are taking place, what stocks 
are “short” or in surplus, the changes in the moods of the 
buying public, etc. etc. 
To Profit by the Stock Keports. 
Did you ever stop to think how much help it would be to 
your business to have available the accurate reports on 
stocks which are now published by many of the Associations 
which already are, or are planning to become affiliated with 
the American Association of Nurserymen. In no other way 
can you keep yourself so well informed on this all important 
subject as by getting these stock reports. 
To Get The Benefit of the A. A. N. Freight Claim Service— 
You know what it is to try to get your freight claims set¬ 
tled! Often you let them go rather than waste time and mon¬ 
ey trying to collect. Not so, if you are a member of the Amer¬ 
ican Association. Charles Sizemore, who handles the freight 
claims for members of the A. A. N. has spent a life time in 
railroad work, and he is one of the greatest little collectors 
in the country. Many members of the Association save their 
annual dues several times over in this service alone. 
To Profit by the A. A. N. Publicity Service. 
The Market Development Committee of the American As¬ 
sociation helps your own local business in three distinct 
ways. 
First, by supplying your local newspapers, throughout your 
selling territory, with weekly publicity articles on what and 
how to plant. 
Secondly, by co-operating with the “Plan to Plant Another 
Tree Movement” in organizing local “planting campaigns” 
and “planting weeks” in your territory. 
Thirdly, by supplying you with publicity and advertising- 
helps for your own use. SEND TODAY FOR COPIES OF 
THE TWO NEW BOOKLETS, “IT’S NOT A HOME TILL 
IT’S PLANTED,” AND “IT’S NOT A FARM HOME WITH¬ 
OUT FRUIT, which will show you what is being done along 
this line. Cuts, colored lantern slides, short articles on dif¬ 
ferent kinds of plants, etc., are other items of this Service. 
To Have Your Old Accounts Cleared Up in the Most 
Economical Way. 
Have you got any old, long-standing accounts on your 
books? Don’t “write them off”, but let Sizemore collect them 
for you. He has collected accounts that had been dead so 
long' that the grass was growing over their graves. 
To Get the Business That Comes From Personal Contact 
With Leading 1 Nurserymen, 
You know what the “personal element” in business amounts 
to. When you become a member of the American Associa¬ 
tion, you will soon know personally most of the leading nur¬ 
serymen in the country, and this cannot help but result in 
many business opportunities which you never could get in 
any other way. 
To Make the Work of the Association in the Matters of 
Legislation as Effective as Possible. 
The Association, even with its present small membership, 
has been able to do many things which have saved hundreds 
of thousands of dollars for the nurserymen of this country. 
The larger the Association becomes, the more effective will 
be its work along these lines. Only by showing an absolutely 
united front can we get all the consideration we are entitled 
to. 
To Keep Informed on New Methods of Propagating That Are 
Being Developed And Similar Technical Matters. 
Never before has it been so necessary for the wide-awake 
nurseryman to know, and know as soon as possible, what is 
being done along these lines. There is no other way in which 
this information can be had so quickly and so accurately as 
by attending the conventions of the American Association 
and getting 1 the full reports of these conventions which are 
published by the Association. This item alone may mean 
hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars to you in a single 
year. 
To Obtain the Advantages of Being a Member of the 
Association of Your Industry. 
The very fact that you' are a member of the American 
Association, which the public knows includes most of the 
leading responsible nurserymen of the country, will give 
your firm a standing which is an actual business value. 
To Do Your Share in Supporting the Industry Which 
Gives You a Living. 
Every man engaged in any industry owes something to 
that industry. There is a great deal to be done yet before 
the nursery industry can be put on as sound a business basis 
as is enjoyed by many other lines. The only way to accom¬ 
plish that result is for those who are engaged in the nurseiv 
industry to stick togeher and work together. Are you not 
willing to be one of the bunch.
