THE WHY
OF A GOOD
NURSERY BUSINESS

We have more than twice the
orders on our books today that we
had a year ago at similar date.
This statement recently made to
brother nurseryman prompted the
query from him, GLOW do you do
it?" Our answer to that good man
and to our large number of custom
ers is that we endeavor at all times
to so treat our customers as to make
lasting friends of them and to keep
our large force of statesmen ever
lastingly taking orders every month
in the year.
We cannot do this by any other
plan than by treating our custom
ers fairly and honorably at all times
by filling their orders with good
trees, and by so packing and ship
ping those trees that they reach the
customers hands in good condition,
so that when planted they will grow
and mature early into revenue pro-
ducers.
No nursery in the United States is more
ideally located for growing good trees than
are we We have soil unsurpassed, moisture
under control, growing season twice
as long as is found in many eastern states
west of the Cascades We have fairly early
fall frosts which tend to ripen the wood fibre
and this together with the absence of pests
and tree diseases and the persistent care
and cultivation we give our stock does
enable us to deliver the cleanest, healthiest,
best rooted, hardest trees it is possible to
produce.
We want your business; we believe we
merit it, We wonld prefer not to fill your
order if we did not believe we would give
you more than your moneys worth. We
have statesmen in practically all localities,
but if you are overlooked, drop us line.

ArchboId Inquiry
 Begins In Secret

Washington, May 7-Behind a dou- ble barricade of locked doors, with even the committee clerk excluded, the House Judiciary committee today began the Investigation of impeach- ment charges, against Judge Robert w. Archibald, former federal judge of the Pennsylvania circuit court and now member of the commerce court.

Subpoenas for only six have been prepared so far, including that for a Scranton, Pa., coal dealer, alleged to have been Archbald's prin- cipa1 agent in the negotiations for the purchase Of the culm coal de. posits. That Archibald tried to buy the property for $3,000 from the Erie Railroad and then endeavored to sell out for $35, 900 to the Lackawanna and Wyoming Company, is the principal charge. This. it is charged, was done while Archibald had several i'm portant cases affecting the Erie before him as a member of the commerce court --e-zes

connecticut Democrats are appar- ently nearer together and in harmony than in long series of years. Their state convention was without notice- able friction and their list of delegates to the national convention includes worthy men. Some of the new party timber represented in the list lends strength to the old timers. The party platform is pretty thoroughly Bald winized, but that does no damage. On the other hand it is a deserved and worthy tribute. to tho governor and may help to inspire some of tho younger Democrats with high reali. zation of the responsibility and of the possibilities which politics offers. If they hold the party standard as high as he has endeavored to do and will play politics as shrewdly as he has done. their labor will not be in vain Ansonia Sentinel
