Manley Jobbins, in charge of the greenhouses of the Station since September 1, 1908, died suddenly on November 9, 1916. Mr. Jobbins was an unusually faithful and efficient employe. His loyalty and service were highly prized, and his untimely death is regretted by all who knew him. [And in the Report of the Department of Horticulture] Mr. D. Manley Jobbins died very suddenly November 9, 1916. Mr. Jobbins began work at the Station in 1908 when the greenhouse equipment consisted of two old wooden frame houses that needed rebuilding, and the "Short Course" greenhouses which had just been completed. He was of great assistance to the Station in the planning and the development of the large range of greenhouses erected in 1911 and 1912. Much of the success of the floricultural work was due to his untiring energy and readiness to do anything that would further the progress of the Station.
