To the Man Who Buys Trees:

Some oft abused patron of Eastern
nurseries writes as follows to the
Wisconsin, Farmer:
Have you had recent visit from
the agent of the" Rochester Nursery?
He has failed to call on me and | am
consequently quite behind the times.
Ifyon are posted, please tell me what
new straw berries we can this year
buy at nine dollars per dozen; what
grapes at five dollars each what
lasberries at two dollars each /
have little spare change which burns
my pocket, and / am anxious to in>
vest in the latest novelty regardless
Of qlaity.
This Agent is a splendid fellow. SO
truthful and so obliging always sell
ing Us anything nee acant Truly we
should get on but poorly without him.
When | remember all his good deeds,
| sometimes think wrought to giUe him
something wonder how be lives.
You know he sells us trees Just as
cheap as we could buy them at the
nursery" Perhaps the nurserymen
have formed them selves into MISS
ionary society, and kindly send him
out for our benefit. If 80, what a
debt Of gratitude we owe them.
Did you ever estimate what it costs
this Agent to come and take our or
ders; then come and deliver the trees,
pay freight, travelling expenses =? etc.
We readily admit him to be a good
talker" and this accomplishment
should bring him good pay.
You would hardly believe that in
consideration of these things the
Agent gets fully one,half the money
we pay 1t would be equally hard
to believe that the honest nursery
man would send us by his authorised
agent, diseased or second class trees,
ia place of the first class ones we
bought; or only one or two varieties,
but chriStened with many names to
suit our order"
