THE POWER HOUSE. This building embodies a complete equipment for all kinds of blacksmith and carpenter work, sharpening and repairing tools, grinding feed, pumping water, sawing lumber for tree boxes, etc. The power is furnished by a 16 horse-power engine. Small tools of all kinds are stored away in this build- ing. Corn and oats are stored on the second floor and run in spouts directly into the feed mill The gentleman having charge of this branch of work, also the repair and construction of all the buildings is Mr. George Kausler, an experienced mechanic and engineer. Under his management all repairs, the buildings, the system of water works and gas plants are kept in perfe-'.t order. Certificate of Nursery Inspection. This is to certify that I have examined the Nursery Stock and premises of Greening- Bros., Monroe, Mich., and find no indications of the presence of any dangerous insect pest or fungous disease. D. W. TRINE, State Inspector of Nurseries and Orchards. Our northern location is Olir TreeS cire worthy of special mention. Our winters are quite - severe and trees grown under such conditions are Qjj roy hardier and more vigorous than those grown in a milder climate. Another advantage is that our nurseries border on Lake Erie, and have every benefit of the healthy, cool water breezes. These facts no doubt to some extent account for the uncom- mon vigor of our trees and plants when afterwards transplanted. Our stock always ripens up thoroughly in the fall and goes into the winter without danger of being injured by severe frosts. A comparison will prove that our stock has not the willowy and watery, soft growth of Southern or Western grown stock, which no doubt accounts in a measure for the large and increasing demand for our Northern grown stock. The wood is firm and hard, the bodies strong, while the roots have strong forcing power. Such trees can- not fail to make good and profitable orchards. The Steam Tree Digger has Revolutionized the Nursery Business.
