AN EXTENSIVE NURSERY 
The Oregon Nursery Company have now about 500 acres in 
growing nursery stock at Orenco, and have developed one of the 
largest and finest nursery plants in the United States. Their 
entire plant contains 1000 acres, all of which will be utilized in 
growing fruit trees for the needs of the great Northwest, and they 
will prove a very strong factor in the upbuilding of the fruit industry 
in this territory. Among the special features of this concern is 
the 1000-acre plant—the largest packing house in the United States, 
and the best equipped nursery office in the United States together 
with a business organization second to none. 
Messrs. McDonald & Gill, the proprietors, are thorough nursery¬ 
men, and as thorough business men, every department of the 
institution is run on strictly business plans, as strict and careful 
attention is paid to the preparation of the soil, selection of seedlings, 
budding and grafting, spraying, digging, grading, packing, shipping, 
and delivering stock, as is paid to the office and of the business 
handling of the sales force, etc. 
The large office building stands by itself in the center of the 
block surrounded by a beautiful lawn, is a model of modern archi¬ 
tecture from a point of beauty construction as well as in arrange¬ 
ment, being large, two stories in height with abundance of light, 
the walls being glass around the entire building. 
This company purchased this site, which is now their splendid 
nursery and town of Orenco, three years ago. Since then the 
Oregon Electric railway has been built through the center of the 
town, giving splendid shipping facilities, and a town has been built 
containing, besides numerous residences, a first-class hotel, two- 
story graded school and a good depot. Mr. Gill and Mr. McDon¬ 
ald have built fine country homes.
