ACKNOWLEDGMENTS


 Special appreciation is expressed to the nurserymen who furnished
figures on their business operations on a confidential basis and for
the time they spent explaining them and answering questions. Thanks
are also due to the county extension agents who assisted in collecting
the data. It is hoped that the business analysis will give nurserymen
--those who did not participate in the program as well as those who did
--a useful basis of comparison for appraising their business and making
better management decisions.
