3ona i- one ol' Dm- [.-(i-^i — t establish- 

 d the Btate outside of < bicago, 

 and certainly the largest in central mi- 

 be business was Founded in 1865, 

 of the present 

 a site one block north of the 

 location, on Logan street. At 

 Hi \\ ', II. ( hilletl was engaged in 

 the nursery business. He began with the 



erection of a small ^r ilimw, only 16x 



in the t :, 1 1 of L865. After two 

 is house was extended and 



room. In 1870 Mr. Gullett erected two 

 greenhouses I l.\7.".. These narrow and 

 low-roofed houses n thi style in use 

 at that time for growing pot plants. 

 They did service for a few years, but 

 were replaced about 1SS0 or 1881 by two 

 longer and wider houses. In 1S79 Walter 

 Berruinghain, a florist who had learned 

 his trade under the pioneer florist of this 

 country, Peter Henderson, entered into a 

 partnership under the firm name of Gul- 

 lett & Bermingham. Mr. Bermingham 

 withdrew from the firm in 1S84, and ac- 

 cepted a position in the circuit clerk's 

 office. In the same year Fred Gullett 

 was admitted to a partnership, and con- 

 tinued in the business till February, 1889. 

 At this time a new partnership was 

 formed under the firm name of W. H. 

 i uillett. & Sons, the new members of 

 the firm being C. E. Gullett and Wil- 

 bur J. Gullett. Contemporaneously with 

 their association with the business the 

 firm began the development of a whole- 

 -.ile trade in cut flowers. The firm 

 erected its first modern rose house in 

 1889, following that by putting up a 

 ..n house the next year. Since 

 1890 they have built new houses or re- 

 modeled old ones almost, every year. This 

 season they have built three iron-gutter 

 rose and carnation houses. Most of their 

 surplus product goes into the St. Louis 

 market. 



In the advertisement of R. Vincent, 

 Jr. & Son. White Marsh. Ml., page 859, 

 issue for October 15, the prices were 

 quoted per 100 and per 1,000, where it 

 was apparent that per dozen and per 

 100 was intended. 



The Review does the selling but it 

 seems strange that this time most of the 

 orders have come from the east and south.
