Our illustration, reproduced from a 

 recent photograph taken by Fred. 

 Lautenschlager, shows the establish- 

 ment of one of Brooklyn's most prog- 

 ressive retail florists, Robert G. Wil- 

 son. This is the old Shannon place, 



on Greene avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y.,

 is running as an adjunct to his retail 

 store on Fulton street. It is a good 

 example of a compact establishment 

 within the closely-built precinct of a 

 great metropolis.
