Chattanooga & St. Louis railway. Its 

 capital stock is $50,000; 150 laborers are 

 employed on the grounds, and 100 agents. 

 Large shipments are made to California, 

 Oregon and Washington on the west, 

 through the middle west, south and east 

 to New York. The annual output aver- 

 ages from 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 plants 

 and trees. 



The oflSce quarters are modern, with 

 up-to-date equipment. A large fireproof 

 vault protects the books, orders and val- 

 uables. There have been 25,000 orders 

 stored there at a time, in alphabetic 

 order. The shipping season is on now 

 and many interesting phases are pre- 

 sented. The tree-stripper turns out about 

 100,000 trees daily. In the packing moss 

 and shingle tow, which hold the moisture, 

 are used. The cars are on their own 

 sidetrack. 



The business has had an almost phe- 

 nomenal growth under the present man- 

 agement. It is one of the few enter- 

 prises not affected by the financial strin- 

 gency of 1907. The orders this fall tax 

 even its large capacity. Hon. H. N. 

 Camp, who resides in Knoxville, is presi- 

 dent; Nathan W. Hale, who served a 

 number of years in congress from the 

 Second district, is vice-president; E. W. 

 Chattin is secretary, treasurer and gen- 

 eral manager. He has been connected 

 with the plant since 1902. Others con- 

 nected with the business who are worthy 

 of mention are: E. H. Dudley, of the 

 west Tennessee territory, with headquar- 

 ters in Memphis; Gilbert Marshall, di- 

 vision superintendent, with headquarters 

 in Little Eock, Ark., and E. N. Coles, 

 superintendent of the California division, 

 with headquarters in Eiverside, CaJ. 



The success of the Tennessee Whole- 

 sale Nursery is a demonstration of push 

 and enterprising ability. Its founder and 

 promoter, J. C. Hale, began with ten 

 acres of leased land in 1897, on which 

 he grew 200,000 peach trees. In 1904 he 

 occupied 500 acres of fine land and 

 placed on the market 4,000,000 peach 

 trees. Having specialized peaches with 

 success, he then added pears and cherries.
