where he died of apoplexy soon after. 
Mr. Moon was born in Morrisville, 
March 6, 1849. He was the son of 
Mahlon Moon, one of the pioneer 
nurserymen of this country, who 
started in business in 1849, and whom 
the late Samuel C. Moon, brother of 
Wm. H. Moon, succeeded in business; 
S. C. Moon died only ten months 
ago. W. H. Moon started for him- 
self in 1872, establishing the William 
H. Moon Nursery Co., which was in- 
corporated in 1890, and of which he 
was the treasurer and general man- 
ager. In these thirty-nine years, un- 
der his able management, the nursery 
increased from twenty acres to near- 
ly five hundred, on which are grown 
2,000 varieties of trees and plants. It 
was always Mr. Moon’s aim to grow 
good trees to sell at a good price 
rather than stock to sell without any 
item of profit, and his business, thus 
started, has increased until today the 
nursery covers nearly 500 acres of 
land and employs as high as 200 men 
at certain seasons of the year. Mr. 
Moon also made a specialty of or- 
namental trees and was one of the 
pioneers in the production of ever- 
greens of the better class, and prob- 
ably one of the first nurserymen to 
advocate the advantages and prac- 
tising the custom of shipping ever- 
greens with balls of earth about their 
roots, and at -the time of his death 
was one of the largest growers of 
evergreens in this country. He was 
active in public works and affairs both 
in his home district and in trade or- 
ganizations in general, being a mem- 
ber of the National Nurserymen’s As- 
sociation and Ornamental Grower’s 
Association and various other trade 
organizations.
