ion and distributed it among other nurseries. It is now known
the country over.

A few years later while hunting in the same river bottoms with a friend
named Frank Gildig, he was shown a very fine pecan which now bears the
name of the Gildig pecan. And also the Queens Lake Pecan originated in
the same locality. These were introduced in the year 1936. His health
failed and in 1942 he discontinued growing general nursery stock and
grew only nut trees, until his death, which was caused by cancer in the
spring of 1947.

MAJOR HIRAM B. FERRIS

Our Major Hiram B. Ferris, of Spokane, Washington, died May 14th, 1947.
He was a valued member, and his loss is keenly felt. He has been a
