THE GENEVA NURSERIES,

A New York IrtOdRe IePIeSeheo0l1S 7
recently had occasion to visit the well
known and justly celebrated 0eneSa
Nurseries. /" which are situated near the
village of Geneva, Ontario County. \;
Y. and now extend over an area OF oOO
acres. ,I :;
These Nurseries were established IN
the year 1916 by Messrs. Wllllam anu
Thomas Smith, the present proPrle'OIo'
and are now the largest IN the country.
A thorough inspection OF the various
departments of these Nurseries e'lhceS
the fact that every possible care anu
precaution is taken in. the dissemination
of varieties, and so thorough Is the sys-
| tenn that it is almost Impossible LOT an
error to occur.
This is an all-important point tor the
public. for it insules to them that WhaI-
ever they may purchase from W. q l.
Smith will be true to name.
Immense packing sheds and cellars I
have been erected for the packing OF
seeds and plants, and no expense CT
labor has been spared to provide tacln- |
ties to insure the handling or the stocA
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 mere
that is hardy and worthy OF CULTIVATION.
To accomplish all this has taken many
wears of hard work and large outlay OF
money, and of all this their customers
have the benefit.
The soil is gravelly, with a heavy STAY
sub-soil, particularly well adapted 10 Ihe
growth of trees, which fact mas oeeI
: fully proven, for they have shippeo
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
: he made in the spring for Utah.
Trees for this remote secuCn are
nacIxed in boxes specially made Ior the
6nrpose. and always reach their destl-
4 nation in the best possible cond!tAon.
a It is a notable fact that the tree'
a grown in the Geneva Nurseries sralls
q plant better than those raised "a e an
II other section, Withstandlng severe G0 70
Il and extreme heat, with no injury INT
soil produces healthy, long-hved trees
Il, which is of the greatest importance Z
every planter. Another very lmpeFtah
fact IS that being furnished with 2 NOR
abnndant supply of healthy well
rinened and fibrOus roots, they pea
transplanting to q different son an
climate much better. In the Col
