THE GENEVA NURSERIES,

4 New York Tribune representative /
recently had occasion to visit the we'll /
known and Justly celebrated Geneva |
Nurseries, " which are situated near the |
village of Geneva, Ontario County, \. |
Y, and now extend over an area OF 800 |
acres.
These Nurseries were established IN
the wear 1916 by MeSsrS. William and
Thomas Smith, the present proprietors,
and are now the largest IN the country.
4 thorough inspection OF the varlous
departments of these Nurseries evlnceS
the fact that every possible care ana
precaution is taken in the dissemination
of varieties, and so thorough is the syS-
tenn that it is almost impossible for an
error to occur.
This is an all-important point for the
public. for it insuIes to them that what
ever they may purchase from w. " /.
! Smith will be true to name.
/ Immense packing sheds and cellars
have been erected for the packing Oh
seeds and plants, and no expense or
labor has been spared TO provide facl1-
ties to insure the handling of the stock
in the best possible manner.
The MeSSrs. Smith cultivate an I'M
menSe assortment and variety as well I'D
the Ornamental as in the Fruit Depart
ment, in fact everything is grown here
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.
The soil is graYelly, with heavy STAY
sub-sol, particularly well adapted to the
growth of trees, which fact has been
fully proven, for they have shipped
thousands of trees to far distant sections
of the country for many years past, VIZ {:
The Territories of Montana, Dakota,
Utah, ETC., ETC. A large shipment VIII
: be made in the spring for Utah.
Trees for this remote section are
{ packed in boxes specially made Tor the
purpose, and always reach their destl-
e nation in the best possible condition.
IT is a notable fact that the trees
e grown in the Geneva Nurseries trans
2 plant better than those raised IN any
l other section, withstanding severe colo
I and extreme heat, with no injury. Inc
{, soil produces healthy, lOng-lived trees
which is of the greatest Importance tC
u every planter. Another very importan
fact is, that being furnished with more
abundant supply of healthy, well
ripened and fibTous roots, they bea
transplanting to a different soil ant
o climate much better. In the COLI
= Northern Territories, thriving orchard
1t of trees that were raised in the Genev
5 Nurseries and which are now producln
-e beautiful fruit, prove their hardness
Z and again IN the extreme South tn
n CONTRA test of their ability to stand ez
r treme heat is proven by the fact tina
Ie the MessrS. Smith have sold larg
G. quantities of their stock for many year
te past to the leading Southern nursery
Y men, and it has always given the yer
IS best of satisfaction.
o. The firm showed us letters from tn
IN leading nurserymen of the country, {
r well as from the leading fruit grower
in and others who have dealt with thel
as for the last quarter of a century, a
to testIfying to the fine quality Of Il
Iv stock and the very satisfactory mann'
In which the business has been COZ
Quoted. No firm in the nursery bus
ness stands higher, none is bett'
known, and none more deserving
