THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
TRANSPORTATION MATTERS 
Messrs. Reed of Vincennes and Sizemore of Stark Bros. 
Co., attended the meeting of the Western Classification com¬ 
mittee recently in San Antonio, Texas. Mr. Sizemore says, 
“We make a general canvass among the members about 
uniform classification and believe that the majority, if not 
all of them, will be in favor of the Western classification 
schedule covering nursery stock.” 
It transpires also that some fine samples of Stark Bros, 
apples played an important part in fixing the attention of 
the company upon matters horticultural. The stomach is 
often the direct route to a man’s sympathy. 
A SOCIAL EVENING AT WM. H. MOON CO. 
On the evening of the 14th the Wm. H. Moon Co. of 
Morrisville, Pa., gave a dinner for their foremen and office 
men, about sixteen in all. 
After a bounteous meal of oysters, turkey, and the dain¬ 
ties of the season a lecture was given by Henry T. Moon on 
“Nurseries and Points of Horticultural Interest at Home 
and Abroad,” with over 150 illustrations by lantern slides. 
Short speeches were made by members of the firm and 
others, and music was rendered by some of those present. 
One picture of particular interest to those present was 
that of two pear trees, sold by the great-grand-father of the 
present proprietors in 1775. These trees are still standing, 
in good condition and bearing fruit. This was the first sale 
on record in this family which has been engaged in horticul¬ 
ture down to the present day. 
Their establishment known as Glen wood Nurseries now 
covers nearly 500 acres and is almost exclusively devoted to 
the growing of ornamentals.
