Nursery Merger Complete r\t r I 'rïf L M ^ w « ». by Catherine Denny The merger between Brookdale Kingsway Nurseries and a Toronto based nursery wholesaler, has proved to be beneficial for both parties involved. The two companies, which merged in the fall of 1983, now have almost 800 acres of nursery stock under production in Bowmanville, Mississauga, and British Columbia. The Toronto firm, Treeland Wholesale Nurseries, is operated by Paul Olsen, who didn't come on the scene until 1977. Brookdale Kingsway Nurseries, on the other hand, is one of the oldest oldest nurseries in Canada, being established established in 1911. It is actually the diversity of these two operations, in scope and in background, that is the major benefit benefit of the merger. There were a few reasons for this venture, the main one being expansion expansion purposes and financial security. security. "Our production was good but our marketing techniques were poor," explained Brookdale Kingsway owner, Peter Hillbricht. "Treeland was just the opposite." Now that the companies have joined forces, they will reap the benefits benefits of successful mai'keting and high quality production. Mr. Hillbricht explained that he had been looking for a nursery to merge with for some time now and Treeland suited all of the requirements. requirements. "Merging is not new in this day and age," said Peter, "Let's face it, merging cuts out a lot of unwanted overhead," he added. The owner also suggested that there are only two types of industries industries that survive in this business; the very big, and the-very-small. He also explained that: iris the in-between in-between industries have banking problems. problems. All of the bare root material is shipped from the Bowmanville locations, locations, and everything else is handled in Mississauga. A distribution centre in St. Joachim, Quebec is also part of the new company, along with the distribution distribution points already set up at Spruce Arbor Nurseries in New Brunswick, and at Ritchie Feed in Ottawa. The primary concern of the new company, Brookdale Treeland Nurseries Nurseries Ltd., is the sales, and marketing marketing end of the business. So far, three salesmen have been hired to travel the different circuits, circuits, two in Ontario, and one in Quebec. Additionally, Brookdale Treeland has sponsored a three day seminar at the University of Guelph aimed at garden centre owners and operators. Immediate plans for the new company company include the construction and completion of office and shipping facilities in Schomberg, and the. company hopes to begin operating from their new premises in 1985.

Barabara Eddy, Director of Public Relations for Jordon Wines, was the guest speaker at the Lions Club meeting Monday night. Barbara gave Lion members a crash wine-tasting course along with a few pointers on how to determine a good wine from a bad wine. She is pictured here sharing a toast with Les Virtue, (left) and 1st vice-president, Ron White. Catherine Denny If a man wants to make a good impression, he should at least pretend to know what he's doing when ordering ordering wine at a restaurant. The basic steps to wine tasting are really quite simple, simple, and take only a few trial runs to perfect. In fact, Bowmanville Bowmanville Lions' Club members members are almost con- naiseurs after only one session session with Barbara Eddy, the Director of Public Relations Relations at Jordon Wines. Ms. Eddy, the guest speaker at the Lions Club meeting last night, discussed discussed the various techniques that are useful when judging wine. Although price is always a factor when choosing a dinner wine, the emphasis emphasis should be placed on sensory reaction of sight, touch, smell, and taste. When judging wine, it is important to keep in mind that the ideal lighting conditions conditions are a bright day and a white table cloth. If the wine is cloudy it may contain contain bacteria. This won't cause illness, but may change the flavor of the drink. If a white wine takes on an orange or amber tone, it usually means that it has oxydized and has probably gone bad. If red wine is exposed exposed to excessive amounts of air, it will turn a brownish brownish color. Even if you don't re member all of the details, which are useful for dinner conversation, you shouldn't forget to at least show off your practical abilities as an expert wine taster As a real connoisseur you must always swirl the wine in the glass before inhaling. This formality allows the air to mix with the wine, creating a more distinct smell. The type of grape that is used determines the final bouquet or aroma of the wine. In any case the beverage beverage should smell pleasant and preferably grapey. Good wine should have substance to it. This can be tested by swishing the wine around the inside of your mouth and, for best results, down the centre of your tongue. A well balanced product will include sweet, bitter, salty, and sour flavors all in harmony with each other. If you really like to appreciate appreciate the wine, it is customary customary to suck a little air in with the liquid before swallowing swallowing it; something that sounds easier to do than it really is. After all has been taken into consideration, you are then free to choose the wine that best pleases your taste buds and, hopefully, your pocket book too.
