HEvGRNEFA NURSERIES

l "a New. York Tribune representative
recently had occasion to visit the well
known and justly celebrated "Genevs
Nurseries, - which are situated near the
village of Geneva, Ontario County. n
y, and now extend over an area Of s50(
acres. sA4 VA
! These Nurseries were established In
the year 1916 by Messrs. William anC
Thomas Smith, the present proprietors
and are now the largest in the country
ArthOrough Inspection of the Variou:
| departments of these Nurseries eVince:
the. fact that every possible care and
precaut1On is taken in the dissemination
of varieties, and so thorough is the sys
tenn that it is almost impossible for an
error to occur. 4 TWE FgY
| Thisis an all-important point for the
public: for it insQres to them that what
ever they may purchase from W. & 7.
Immense packing sheds and cellars
have been erected for the packing OF
seeds and plants, and no expense. OF
labor has been spared to provide facii-
ties to insure the handling of the stock
ID the bestpossible MANNER.
AEhe aAteSsrS. Smith cultivate an. i'm
mense assortment and variety as well In
the Ornamental as in the Fruit Depart
ment, in fact everything is grown here
that is hardy and worthy of cultivation.
To accomplish al this has taken many
years Of hard work and a large outlay Of
money, and of all this their customers
have the benefit.
The soil is graYelly, with heavy sIay
subsoil, particGIarlS wen adapted 60 the
growth OF trees, which fact has been
fully proven, for they-haxe shipped
thousands of trees to far distant sections
OF the country for many years past, viz:
The Territories of Montana, Dakota,
Utah, etc. setG,iyA large shipment, will
be made in the Spring for Utah.
Trees for this remote section are
packed In boxes specially made for the
purpose, and always reach their desti-
nanopt best POSSIBLE condition. Z.
1t Is a notable fact that the trees
grown in the Geneva Nurseries trans
plant better than those raised IN any
other seetlonI wi hstanding severe cold
and extreme heat, with no injury. The
SOL produces Healthy, long-liYed 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
ripened and fibrous roots, thew bear
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.
and again IN the extreme South the
contra test of their ability to stand ex-
treme heat is proven by the fact 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
Tor the last quarter of a century, all
testlfying to the fine quality of the
stock and the 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 of
patronage. ..-~,..r
The Retail Department now employ
over two hundred agents, sndit is the.
Intention Of the firm to largely increase
the number Of their statesmen this
season.
This firm can be constantly recon-
Rended, both to purchasers of nursery
stock, and to parties wanting situations,
as sirius worthy In every respect.
. Those seeking ployment win fndf
them a good firm to axorkfor, and
backed by their veil ablished reputa-
ton Tor good stock and fair dealing, an
agent who Is earnest IN his work can
