E. S. WELCH INCORPORATES. 



Tlie Mount Arbor Nurseries, Shenan- 

 doah, la., has been incorporated with an 

 authorized capital stock of $300,000, of 

 which $200,000 was paid up and issued 

 at the time of organization. The officers 

 of the corporation are: President, E. S. 

 Welch; vice-president and treasurer, 

 E. E. May; secretary, R. M. Gwynn; 

 superintendent, F. W. Welch; assistant 

 superintendent, R. N. Adair. 



The purpose of incorporating the 

 Mount Arbor Nurseries is to perpetuate 

 the business. 



The business was established in 1875 

 and came into the hands of E. S. Welch 

 in the spring of 1891. It has grown into 

 one of the largest wholesale nurseries in 

 the United States. 



The rapid growth of the business has 

 been possible partly because of the fa- 

 vorable conditions and soil for the 

 growth of nursery stock, but especially 

 because of the efficient management of 

 the business. Since 1891 the business 

 has been owned and managed by E. S. 

 Welch. E. E. May, who becomes vice- 

 president and treasurer, is a Nebraskan 

 by birth, graduated from the State Uni- 

 versity of Nebraska, and was employed 

 for four seasons in the sales department 

 of D. M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit, pre- 

 vious to locating at Shenandoah. R. M. 

 Gwynn, secretary, has been actively con- 

 ncfted with the management of the busi- 

 ness for the last seven years. He was 

 fornierlv cashier of the Shenandoah Na- 

 tional Bank. F. W. Welch, superin-
