Any man or woman in this section who wishes to engage in business that will net them from three to five dollars day from the start, without the investment of any capital, should write The First National Nurseries, of Rochester, N. Y., at once, as they wish to make contract with some one immediately. We understand they have nurseries and seed farms of over 1000 acres, probably one of the largest in the country. The position is worth obtaining. The many new horticul tural journals like Country Life in America and the hundreds of local civic societies, devoted to the beauti flying of our suburban towns and viii lages throughout the country, are creating an enormous demand fol fancy ornamental stock of every de scription, and good reliable man ol woman, representing reliable com pany, can make a very satisfactory salary from the start.
