THE GENEVA NURSERIES.

A New Work Tti5une representative
recently had occasion to visit the well.
known and justly celebrated Geneva
Nurseries, 7" which are situated near the
village OF Geneva, Ontario County. n.
Y, aid now exteed over al area of 500
acres.
These Nurseries were established in
the year 1916 by Messrs. William and
ThomssSSmith. the present proprietors,
and are now the largest ia the country.
A thorough inspection of the various
departments OF these Nurseries evinces
the tact that every possible care and
precaution is taken in the dissemination
OF varieties, and SO thOToogh issthe sys-

error tooccur.

In the best possible manner.
The Messrs. Smith cultivate an i'm

that is hardy and worthy OF cultivation.
To accomplish all this has taken many
years of hard work and large outlay OF
money, and of all this their customers
have the benefit.

Trees for this remote section are
packed in boxes specially madedOr the

1t is a notable fact that the trees

plant better than these raised in any
other section, withstanding severe Geld
and extreme heat, with no injury. The
soil produces healthy, long-lived trees,
which is of the greatest Importance to
every planter. Another very important
fact is, that being furnished with more
abundant supply OF healthy, we'll

transplanting to a different soil and
climate much better. In the cold
Northern Territories, thriving orchards
of trees that were raised in the Geneva
Nurseries and which are now producing
beautiful fruit, prove their hardness,

the MeSsrs. Smith have sold large
quantities of their stock for many years
past TO the leading Southern nursery

best of satisfaction.
