Thlirat huge Quonset-type buillng i connettion with the building prograni is almost campleted on Brookdale-Kings- 'way Pope at the corner o! the Base Lino and Duke St. Two more buildings almost as large will be constructed next yean ta put the storage, pack- Ing and shipping- facilities at the nursery on a highly-effici- ent assembly-line basis. Building Almost Roady The. firat building is now ne- ceiving the finishing touches and will be ready for use in a short tinie. It Is a huge build- Ing about as large as a skating rink; 150 feet long, 60 feeti ,wide, and 37 feet from the1 foundation ta the top af the1 ioof. The special arched raf- tens, or ribs, used i this Quon- set-type structure were pre- fabnicateti in Manitoba of Brit- ish Columbia fin and then ship- ped ta - owmanville. The ribs wcne spaced two feet apart atici shcete with 1 14 inch lumber. A layer a! aluminum foil was then applied as a maisture -bar- rie ta protect the nurserypo ducta which will be storcd and ji shipped from this building. Two layers af 40-pound as: roo!ing wene then appliei such a way that, there an expased nails eitiien on thi 9side or autside o! the buill .The job was completed by 5application ai two coats a: phaîtc emulsion ta seal joints and a covering ai a] #num sheeting ta reflect heat.

WIU ffudy Mothods Befare setting up the assein- *bly lime packing operation, Mr. Scott, Andy Lurunemarin and Howard Bickle will visit a nur- sery in Shenandoah, Iowa, where such an apenation has been set up in a'large nursery ta study asl the details involv- cd. "W. are trying to bring ta agriculture and the nursery business the same efficient as- sembly-line niothods that wai-k sa well ini industry", Mr. Scott declared. "Wlhcj these three buildings are finished they will increase the efficiency af aur oprtians tremendously". The Brokdle- Kingsway, owner pointed out that thepurpase of the ncw asscmbly-line type of storage and sbiipping operation is flot designed ta Increase sales but rather ta increase efficiency by allowing the same aniaunt-or mare - work ta be pcnfanmed by fewen cm- ployees. Hie also stated that the streamlined openation wiil take a lot of the hard manual labour or "bull-work" out of the ship- ping tasks. Added ta the present large grading and storage facilities nt the nursery, the thrce new buildings wiil give a total af 20,000 square feet of space for the storage, gradl.ng, packing and shipping a! the hundreds o! Brookdale - Kingsway nur- sery products. The business donc by the nursery hàs in- creased every yean, and is still increasing, Mr. Scott stated. At the height af the last season the nursery was shipping a carload of nursery products cvery day plus several large refrigeratcd highway trans- ports. These products go ta practically every state in the United States and many caun- tries o! the world. On file at the nursery now are orders from Nassau in the Bahamas and Palestine, as well as fromn Europcan countries. Mails 212,000 Catalogues Mr. Scott niailed 212,000 smail catalogues anid 40,000 larger color catalogues this year, and anly a few da>ýs aga received a special catalogue for roses only containing 32 pages in color. These rose catalogues were printed in France, h. said, the only country which can pnint the new colon processes involved in pnoducin g them. Mn. Scott is also keepmng up- to-date in mechanical cquip- ment. He recently purchased a riew Minneapolis - Moline ma- chine which performs four dis- tinct functions - those of a tractor, spraying machine, bahl-9 ing. machine and cultivator. This huge tracton, which is se tig i1~r i a6-footý clearance' under the axles, is according ta MIr. Scott, the first ta ha used on any nursery in Canada. It 'an spray nursery stock 10 ta 2 feet high or four inches nom. the ground and does 10 ows at a time. Special attach- ments ini front of the rean wheels cultivate four rows at th. same turne that 10 rows are being sprayed. Balling Machine Attachniont The same machine alsa has 1 ttachmcnts that allow it ta be 1 sed as a balling machine. A t, round cutting unit is lowered ver the shrub and the blades r -ut out thie ground anound itY .ke. a large coakie cutter. Art- b :ther blade undercuts the ,hrub so that when the unit is o sised the shrub is liftcd out of a mie ground with a "bail" of t: arth around it. A burlap sack r sthen slipped over the shrub h Arhich is ready for shipment in h £t OWrn eanth. The machine, o mimplete with attachments,f Mr. and Mrs. R. Anderson andl nily, Port Hope; Mrs. M.
