THE GENEVA NURSERIES,.

A New York Tribune representati' c
recently had occasion TO visit the wei
known and justly celebrated Geneva
Nurseries, which are situated near the
village of Geneva, Ontario County. \
Y, aud now extend over an area OF 500
acres.
These Nurseries were established in
the year 1916 by Messrs William and
Thomas Smith. the present prOpri.tOrs,
anu are now the largest in the country
A thorough inspection of the various
departments OF these Nurseries evinc 5
the fact that every possible care and
precautiOn is taken in the dissemination
of varieties, and so thorough is the sys-
tenn that it is almost impossible for All
error to occur.
This is an aH-important p&nt for the
public. for it ENSURES TO them thar what
ever they may purchase from w. & I.
Smith will be true to name.
Immense packing sheds and cellFrS
have been erected for the packing of
seeds and plants, and no expense Cr
labor has been spared 10 provide taclI-
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 vel ~
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 aud large outlay OF
money, and of all this their customers
have the benefit
The soil is gravelly, with q heavy stay
sub-soil, particularly we'll adapted 70 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, vlz:-
The Territories of Montana. Dakota,
Utah, etc., etc. A large shipment will
be made in the springfOr Utah.
Trees for this remote section are
packed in boxes specially mad for the
purpose, and always reach their destI-
nation in the best possible condition.
1t is q notable fact hat the trees
grown in. the Geneva Nurseries trans
plant better than those raised IN anL
other section, Withstanding severe coid
and extreme heat, with no injury. II e
soil produces heal by, lOng-lived trees,
which is of the greatest Importance TO
every planter. Another very important
fact is, that being furnished with a more
abundant supply of healthy, we'll
ripened and hbrous roots, they bear
transplanting 70 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.
and again IN the extreme South the
| contra test OF their ability to stand ex-
| IRENE heat is proven by the TACT that
! the Messrs. Smith have sold large
quantities of their stock for many years
past to the leading Southern nursery
men, and It has always given the very
best of satisfaction.
| The firm showed US letters from the
| leading nurserymen of the country. as
well as from the leading fruit growers
and others who have dealt with them
/ for the last quarter of a century, all
| testlfying to the fine quality OF the
stock and ths-very satisfactory manner
| in which the business has been con
Quoted. No firm in the nursery bust
ness stands higher, none IS better
| known, and none more deserving o.
patronage.
The Retail Department now employ
over two hundred agents, and 1t Is th'
| intention of the firm to largely increase
| the number Of their statesmen TIM
season.
This irm.ean be constantly recon-
mended, both to purchasers OF nurser.
