Because of the desire o avo se esure o e a airs o in ivl ua nurseries, most of the data following are presented as averages.

The im portance of the average shown depends a good deal on the extent of variation udthin the group. The data here presented are intended therefore to give some indication of the situation existing on the many nurseries of the state but should not be regarded as necessarily representative of the whole group of nurseries.As indicated at the first of the paper, they were selected with a view to getting as representative a picture as possible in a short ttme and in view of the fact that many of the nurseries do not have records suited to providing information of the types sought.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
