THE NATIONAL NURSER1A[AN 
siiceeediiis’ far beyond tlieir expectations, in fact. 
The sto(*k of home-grown Pecans, Satsunia oranges, 
camjdior trees, roses and ornamental stock at Branch 
No. () is excellent. This branch has increased in 
less than two years to such an extent that the vice- 
president of the company, W. C. Griffing, will make 
liis home there with the expectation of increasing 
this nursery to supply a large and rapidly growing- 
section along the Gulf coast. 
Nov. 20th, 1913. 
I herewith send check for renewal to your most valuable paper. 
I enjoy it in every particularity and do not want to be without it. 
Have had a good fall trade. 
With best wishes, I am. Dear Sirs, 
Very faithfully yours, 
JOHN M. WISE, 
Freeport, Illinois. 
Be sure and send October and November issues, subscription 
expired I think with September. 
The largest and heaviest apple ever grown in the 
world has been raised this season in England—at 
King’s Acre, Hereford. It is a Gloria Mundi. It 
weighs no less than 32i/'2 ounces, and the announce¬ 
ment of its advent has created quite a sensation in 
the fruit world. This wonderful apple was grown in 
an eleven-inch flower pot, the tree producing six 
mammoth fruits at the same time. It was this very 
tree which bore the giant apple of 1910. Britain has 
the credit of iiroducing the biggest, heaviest and 
highest-priced apples grown. 
’Ihe Pacific Nursery company, recently organized 
in Sacramento, has taken over 14 acres in the very 
center of the reclamation project at West Sacramen¬ 
to, California, and will conduct one of the finest nur¬ 
series in the west. This property was used by the 
develo])ment company as an ex]jerimental farm the 
first year to demonstrate just what the soil would 
])roduce. More than 85 different kinds of plant life, 
including every known vegetable and small fruit 
that thrive in California were successfully grown on 
this farm. It was the success of the experimental 
station that attracted the attention of those who 
formed the new nursery company.

A telegraphed B to quote prices on certain nur¬ 
sery stock f. o. b. nurseries. A and B both being 
familiar with the usual shixiping terms as stated in 
most trade lists, the question at issue is, should A 
])ay baling charges'? B having quoted imices as re 
quested. 
Idle general accei)ted meaning of the letters f. o. b. 
is free on lioai'd, so that if A telegraphed B to quote 
])rices under these conditions A could expect to re¬ 
ceive (pu)tations that would cover all charges for the 
goods delivered on board the cars. This is the usual 
understanding we believe among all trades and es- 
])ecially so in the nursery business. Of course, it is 
customary foi- the nursery trade to charge for ])ack- 
ing but when (luotations are asked f. o. b. these 
sliould be included in the quotations.
