SUGGESTIONS TO PARTIES PLANNING TO PURCHASE NURSERY STOCK.
It may be quite out of place to offer any suggestions along this line to readers of this magazine, and yet some buyers may find help in the following:
For evident reasons it pays to buy Minnesota stock where possible, stock which has been tried out and found to be hardy, rather than purchase new varieties, glowingly described in catalogues. Always buy from an inspected nursery.
For evident reasons it pays to buy from nurseries near at hand, so that the time elapsing from the shipping of the trees or shrubs and the planting is small.
Further, it is always desirable, if possible, to buy from the nurseryman himself, a responsible party, rather than from an agent. It is further very desirable to personally pick out your own stock in a visit to the nursery.
