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.

These Nurseries were established in
the year 1916 by Messrs. William and
Thomas Smith, the present proprietors,

of the country for many years past, viz

Trees for this remote section are
