THIS WEEK AT
ZION GARDENS
BY Fred Richards

February 22nd was the birth
day of one of our Great Men
and our first President -
George Washington.
Most of us know the story
of little George and the Cher
ry Tree but does anyone know
why he chopped it down? At
ter extensive research, Zion
Gardens has the answer. The
information Zion Gardens has
received reveals that little
George had a girl friend and
since he had a girl he needed
flowers. Now in those days
there weren't any modern
flower shops like Zion Gar
dens so George had prob
lem. At this time of the year
the cherry trees were in bloom
and that was where George
had his great inspiration. Re-
member that he was a small
lad so he couldn't reach the
lower branches and cut the
beautiful sprays of flowers.
Remembering the hatchet his
father had given him and not
being a piker anyway, George
decided to give his girl friend
a real bouquet. The rest of the
story is History but know why
he didn't get a spanking.
We at the Gardens didn't
realize spring was so close un-
til we glanced at our schedule
and found that next week it
is time to plant tomatoes. Pc
tunias, Saliva, Marigold, pep
pers and celery have already
been planted.
Here is something that no
flower lover should miss. The
National Flower and Garden
Show is going to be in Chica-
go again this year. The show
runs from March IA to Fl.
Tickets are now on sale at
Zion Gardens at only S1.OO.
Admission at the gate is S1.25
per person.

shall, a graduate of Mississippi
State met in St. Louis and be-
came friends. They planned then
to some day manufacture boats,
but came the war, and they both
went into the armed service. Mr..
Young spent several years in the
Army and Mr.. Marshall several
in the Navy as a lieutenant. Then
in 1916 they got together again
and their dream came true.
In May 1916 they began opera
tons and the first hull was COM
pleted in December of that year.
The next year was spent in per-
fecting their design which is the
original product of the two
owners.
During 1948 they averaged pro-
duction of about two hulls per
week with the entire output be-
ing taken by the Sears oebuck
company with the exception of
a few individual sales. One of
the hulls is now on display at the
Sears store in Mobile.
At the present the two owners

ployee, O.. NJ. Tilley, a graduate
of Wade high school, are doing
