THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN. 
OLDEN FRUir FARM SOLD. 
WiCVINTED ! 
L, T. Moore, a capitalist of Kansas City, has purchased a 
controlling interest in the Olden Fruit farm at Olden, Mo., the 
largest in the world, and will manage it in person. The con¬ 
sideration is not known. d'he farm is valued at $250,000 to 
$300,000. It is situated on the Memphis railroad in the Ozark 
mountains, and consists of 2,280 acres, on which are over 100,- 
000 peach trees, 60,000 apple trees, 2,000 pear trees, and forty 
acres of blackberries, besides a large variety of other fruits. 
On the property are a large warehouse, a cannery wdth a 
capacity of 10,000 cans per day, a cold storage building hold¬ 
ing 15,000 barrels of apples, a hotel, a sawmill, and a number 
of houses for the use of the managers and tenants. The only 
other shareholder of the Olden company now is J. C. Evans 
of Clay county, Missouri.

The Messrs. Berckmans, Augusta, Ga , made an exhibit of 
conifers at the Nashville exposition which attracts much atten¬ 
tion. The Georgia railroad asked the Messrs. Berckmans to 
provide improvement for its exhibit and the grounds were 
accordingly laid out for the railroad. The Messrs. Berckmans 
did not expect the prominent announcement made upon 
placards that they furnished the shrubs. It was late in the 
season when they were notified to undertake the work, and 
only such shrubs and trees as could be moved were used. 
The nursery business carried on by the late John Saul will 
not be taken up by his sons. William Saul, the elder, is in 
poor health ; the others follow different callings.
