There are some farmers who are overlooking a chance to make a nice sum of money out of Christmas greens —trees, wreaths, branches, etc, Then, on the other hand, there are some who are making themselves poor because of the way they are selling greenery from their farms without any regard for the future. I know of siVeral farmers who maks a few hundred dold.ses a year selling Christmas wreaths, and they are not robbing their farms, either. In cut- , times., mate.rteltfer wreethe they cut the inferior -Pdants. Theseare'just as !good as perfect plants, so long as they I have good leaves. An inferior Christ- ' mas tree is hard to sell, but these men I know always plant a few More trees than they cut each year. That is the thing I want to urge—and I repeat it again: Do not cut all your trees and plants the first year or two. Cut only as many as you can spare and keep the source of income alive. In the case of Christmas trees, plent at leant as many as you cut each year. The plants that can be used for wreaths are holly, laurel, bittersweet, cedar, ground -pine, branches from the conifers—anything that retains its greenness for a couple ef weeks in- doors. The best market for these is in cities. The wreaths can be made at homes and sold in the city, or the materials can be sold to firms in the • city that deal in this class of goods. ' If a farmer wanted to go into the busi- ness of selling Christmas greens on a fairly large scale, he could arrange for his supply of greens, then put an ad in the Sunday paper giving prices of wreaths, trees, etc. Or, if he has a hat of city residents and their ad- dresses, he could send out a neatly written letter. The letter doesn't need to be long or flowery—jest a plain statement of facts about price and delivery. Some folks load up with wreaths and go right into the city, then eell from house to house. A license may be required for selling in this way in some towns and cities. In that case, orders can be taken and deliveries made at a later trip. Some fella; sell on street corners, which IA O.K., in !most, eases.
