THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
A branch of the Rochester Nursery Company has been 
started at Litchfield, Ill., about eight acres having been leased 
for the raising of plants, shrubs, etc. The Sims Brothers, 
two young men, with experience in the nursery business, 
have it in charge. 
John Y. Chisholm, receiver of the Phoenix Nursery Co., 
Bloomington, Ill., is using every possible economy to conduct 
the business while it is in his charge, in order to realize the 
most cash for the ereditors. 
He has decided to dispense with the force of travelling 
salesmen and sell by eatalogue only for a year or two. 
The total liabilities are possibly $60,000 but the assets 
are considerably more so the ereditors have decided to let 
Mr. Chisholm remain in eharge and work out the situation 
the best way possible. 
Everything is in exeellent condition so there is every hope 
that all indebtedness will be cleaned up and the business put 
on a good basis.
