THE GENEVA NURSERIES

A New York Tribune TepreseutatiS,
recently had occasion to visit the well
known and Justly celebrated "GeneVa
Nurseries,, - which are situated near the
village Of Geneva, Ontario County, \.
Y, and now extend over an area Of 500
acres.
These Nurseries were established in
the year 1886 by Messrs. William and
Thomas Smith, the present proprietors,
and are now the largest in the country
4 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 so thorough is the sys-
ten that II is almost impossible for an
error to occur.
This is an all-impOrtant point for the
public. for il insules TO them that what
ever they may purchase from ". & T..
Smith will 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 facili-
ties toinsure the handling Of the stock
IL the best possible manner.
The Messrs. Smith cultivate an i'm
mense assortment and variety rs well in
ment, in fact everything is grown here
that is hardy and worthy of cultivation.
To accomplish alfthis 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 q heavy slay
Sub-sOii, particularly well 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, viz:
The Territories of Montana, Dakota,
Utah, etc, etc. \ large shipment viii
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-
nation in the best possible condition.
1t is Z notable fact that the trees
grown in the Geneva Nurseries trans
plant better than those raised in any
other section, withstanding severe cold
and extreme heat, with no injury. The
soil produces healthy, long-liYed 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 tibrouS roots, they bear
transplanting 10 a different soil ana
climate much better. In the cold
Northern Territories, thriving orchards
of trees that we're raised In the Geneva
Nurseries and which are now producing
beautiful fruit, prODe their hardness,
and again IN the extreme South the
contra test of their ability TO stand eX-
IRENE heat Is proven by the fact that
the Messrs. Smith have sold large
mn ffs-
past 10 the leading Southern nursery
men, and il has always given the very
best OF satisfaction.
Tie firm showed rs letters from Inc
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 century, al
testlfying 10 the fine quality OF the
stock and the very satisfactory manner
III which The business has been con-
ducted. No firm IN the nursery bust
ness stands higher, none IS better
known, and uORe more deserving of
patronage.
The Retail Department nov employ
over two hundred agents, and Il Is the
intention OF the firm TO largely increase
the number OF their statesmen this
season.
This drm can be constantly recon-
mended, both to purchasers Of nursery
stock, and TO parties wanting situations,
as trustworthy in every respect.
Those seeking employment viii ind
them u good firm 70 work Tor, and
backed by their 6rell-estsblIshed repata
ton for goad stock and fair dealing, an
agent who i earnest IN his work can
command success. These are the only
in the country known as sne
Geneva Nurseries.
