THE PAYETTE NURSERY.

1110ISs
1dahoans need not send large sums
of money East, any longer, for
nursery stock which so seldom thrives
in this climate, as there is first class
nursery almost at their very doors,
which can supply them with plants
and shrubs Of all varieties which are
adapted to this climate, and are there
fore much more likely to give entire
satisfaction.
The Payette Nursery has now been
established for seven years, and dur.
ing that time the Whitney Brothers
have made for their enterprise y rep.
usation Of which they may we'll be
proud.
The nursery lies about one-fourth
of milo northeast of the depot of
the Oregon Short Line Railway, in the
town Of Payette, and contains so
acres of land having different kinds
of sol! in the highest state of cultiva-
ton, and admirably adapted to the
growth and propagation of trees,
plants, ETC., of every kind.
A Statesman reporter who recently
visited the Payette Nursery states
that he was surprised to find place
SO beautifully LAID out, and to see the
stock in such fine and healthy condi.
ton. Every tree aud plant looked
thrifty, vigorous and showed the very
best of cultivation. 1--WE saw no less
| than FIVE million trees aud plants,
aud all we're perfectly free from dis
ease, which is seldom the case in
eastern localities, where trees have
been grown for years on the same
soil, year after year. The facilities
for packing, such as water tank,
water pipes running to packing
houses, packing cellars, etc.. very
thoroughly arranged, which enables
them to do their packing in the best
possible manner which is very es-
scntial to insure success to the trans.
planter.

will say that it is systematically ar.
ranged, the most complete, and one
Of the best equipped enterprises We
know of. Their men employed in
the nursery are good, honest, sober
and industrious fellows, that can BE-
relied on at I'LL times in their trade
Their horses are smooth, slick, ane
show good keeping. The buildings
consisting of residences, boarding
house, barns, packing cellars, ar.
commodious, we'll painted, and very
neat. The nursery is divided into
five blocks, with drive.ways between
giving good view of every foot Of it.
"We saw roses in bloom, and the
porches around the dwellings wer'
covered with clematis, westerias ane
honeysuckles, and on the lawns tn,
old fashioned lilacs which brought t
us happy remembrance of the hom'
of our boyhood.

customers in Montana, Utah, Colo

justified in saying, that should yo'
intend to plant an orchard get you
