recently had occasion to visit the we'll
known and Justly celebrated Geneva
Nurseries" which are situated near the
village of Geneva, Ontario County. n.
Y, and now extend over an area Of 500
acres.
These Nurseries were established in
the year 1916 by Messrs. William and
Thomas Smith, the present proprietors.
and are now the largest in the country.
A thorough inspection of the various
departments of these Nurseries evinces
the fact that every possible care and
precautiOn is taken in the dissemination
of varieties, and go thorough is the svs-
TEN that it is almost impossible for an
error to occur.
This is an alI-impOrtant point for the
public. for it inSul es 10 them that what
ever they may purchase from W. & T.
Smith VIII be true TO name.
Immense packing sheds and cellars
have been erected for the packing of
seeds and plants, and no expense or
labor has been spared 10 provide faciIi-
ties TO insure the handling OF the stock
in the best possible manner.
The MeSsrS. Smith cultivate an i'm
meuse assortment and variety IS 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 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 gravelly, with heavy STAY
sub-soil, particularly well adapted 10 the
growth of trees, which fact has been

be made in the spring for | tab.
Trees for this remote section are
packed in boxes specially made for the
purpose, and always reach their deS,i
nation in the hest possible condition.
1t is 4 notable fact that the tree
grown in the Geneva Nurseries trans
plant better than those raised in any
other section, withStanding severe cola
and extreme heat. with no injury. The
soil produces healthy, lOng-lived tree
which IS OF the greatest importance 10
every planter. Another very important
fact is, that being furnished with nQre
abundant supply of healthy, we'll
