"OLD STATE OF PIKE"
THE HOME OF THE STARK
BROTHERS NURSERIES.
One OF the Biggest Institutions in the
worid-Its Trade Extends To Nearly
Every Civilized Nation ON Earth.

ST. Louis Republic. January 7. 1896:
One OF the largest institutions in Louis
lana Is the Stark Bros Nurseries and
Orchards company. The trade OF the
firm extends not only throughout the
United States, Canada, Germany.
France, Italy, Hungary and other for
eign countries. but it has a number Of
customers both in New Zealand and
Australia.
Eighty years ago there came from
Kentucky to Pike county the late
Judge Stark. then a young man fresh
from Old Hickory's New Orleans cam
paign. He started the nursery and
planted the first grated orchard in the
state, having brought the scions on
horseback from Kentucky.
The business has descended from
father to son, and is now conducted by.
the third generation. assisted by the
fourth. This firm has more than 1000
travelling solicitors, and employs more
people In its offices than would be nee
essary TO run a large manufacturing
concern. The extensive packing houses
OF the company are adjacent to the city,
connected with the railroad by special
tracks. From these packing-house
hundreds OF carloads Of trees are
shipped annually. The nursery grounds
embrace a number of farms convenient
TO the city, and even extends 10 Rock
port, H.. where there is a plant OF
several million trees.
The popularity of the concern is the
establishment Of large orchards. These
orchards in "a states aggregate nearly
$4,000 acres. and more than $500 900
trees on the partnership plan. The firm
Is also interested in as many more
trees on the cooperative arrangement
The nurseries have been beneficial not
only to their home, but Missouri owes
no little OF her prestige as a fruit
growing region to the progress and
work Of development of this firm. The
exhibits OF this firm, whenever made,
attract great attention. and do much
TO advertise the state. The firm pays
large amounts for new varieties Of fruit
and conducts the largest business OF
the kind in America, il not in the
world.
Louisiana firms have more travelling
men upon the road for them than travel
out of any other city of the world of
its size. This, of course, is largely due
to the large number of men employed
by the Stark Bros. Nurseries, who fur
nish their men the most complete, up
to-date outfit ever issued. They are
Increasing their force of statesmen daily
and room for more.
