N TIMES LIKE THESE, a Nufseryman is tempted to pause and 
ask himself why he chose to grow shrubs and trees as his 
life’s work. For between the time he plants the tiny seeds in 
the soil, or inserts cuttings in the sand, a period of from five 
to twelve years elapses before his product is ready to be de- 
livered to a customer and a profit realized. On the other hand, 
a crop of snap-beans like the above, grown at Weston Nur- 
series 1n 1944, is planted, grown to maturity, harvested and 
sold within a period of that many weeks. 
In 1944, our total area 1n vegetable crops was 45 acres, and 
all were profitably marketed. 
We were pleased to receive several first prizes on vegetables 
which we exhibited at the fall Harvest Shows in our neighbor- 
ing towns.
