sent out 500,000 164-page catalogues. 

 It required nine cars to transport these 

 catalogues from the Printing Products 

 Corporation, Chicago, to Yankton. The 

 Gurney Seed & Nursery Co. is one of the 

 largest commercial institutions of the 

 state of South Dakota, paying out each 

 year more than $100,000 in salaries and 

 making a greater number of shipments 

 through the various transportation com- 

 panies of Yankton than all other ship- 

 pers combined. More than one-half of 

 the receipts of the postoffice at Yankton 

 are from this company. 



EUREKA VENTURE ENDS. 



The enterprise which the late Charles 

 Willis Ward established at Eureka, Cal., 

 for the purpose of producing in this 

 country bulbs and nursery stock such as 

 have been imported from Europe, will 

 shortly be no more. For nearly three 

 years the property has been in the hands 

 of G. Vanden Abeele as receiver. Dur- 

 ing that time the various parcels of real 

 estate have been sold upon foreclosure, 

 the last being that at the main establish- 

 ment, the Eden Nurseries, at Eureka. 

 This property was purchased by D. S. 

 Ward in 1921 and a lease taken by the 

 receiver from month to month since that 

 time. A notice to vacate the property 

 March 13 has been served on Mr. Van- 

 den Abelee, leaving no alternative but to 

 liquidate the assets of the Cottage Gar- 

 dens Nurseries. 



The greatest part of the assets at the 

 present time are nursery stock, which is 

 inventoried at $245,332.64. This nursery 

 stock includes 5,900 araucarias, 175,000 

 azaleas, 190,000 boxwoods, 10,000 rhodo- 

 dendrons, 6,000 roses and broad-leaved 

 evergreens, conifers, ericas, roses and 

 some tuberous plants and flowering fruit 

 trees. The accounts receivable are in- 

 ventoried at $53,304.58. These two items 

 make up the major pnrt of the assets, 

 whose total is set at $329,115.54. 



The inventory of the assets as of De- 

 cember 31, 1921, is set forth by Mr. Vnn- 

 den Aboole as follows:

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



William Sattor. of Eotteveel Bros., 

 Holland, observed that the quality of 

 Dutch bulbs is. undoubtedly, contribu- 

 tory to the good sales being experienced 

 by many retailers. "Take, for instance, 

 Gol(icn Spur," he said, "the fore- 

 most bulb forced today; the quality 

 proves the possibility of furnishing 

 high-grade stoek. Our growers are be- 

 ing spurred on to continue such an(l, 

 though the going is sometimes heavy, 

 we will reach the goal." The failure
