 holding on to that name, died on Fri-

hospital, Chicago, December 27. His 

 life had been spent in Chicago, where 

 he was born fifty-three years ago and 

 in whose schools he was educated. 

 His business life also was lived in his 

 home city where he devoted all of his 

 best years to the development of 

 greenhouse construction and to him 

 the trade is greatly indebted for many 

 of the modern methods now generally 

 adopted in building. 



Mr. Rupp, while still in the prime of 

 life and loving to wrestle with the 

 problems of business, became ill last 

 summer and gradually grew worse till 

 a very serious opei-ation was decided 

 upon as a last resource and which 

 he endured without anesthetic. It 

 was found that the appendix had 

 caused his illness and though he lived 

 four days he had not strength to re- 

 cover. Mr. Rupp was the leader in 

 the reorganization of the J. C. Mon- 

 inger Co. in 189.3 and was actively in 

 charge of the business till illness pre- 

 vented. To his skillful management is 

 largely due the commercial leadership 

 of the company he organized. Two 

 years ago his son Walter took his 

 place as secretary and now will also 

 succeed him as treasurer. Mr. Rupp 

 leaves a widow, one son and two 

 daughters. The funeral was held 

 from the residence 3508 Janssen Ave., 

 Sunday and the pall bearers were all 

 employees. Interment was in St. 

 Lucas cemetery. 



TO STANDARDIZE TRADE TERMS 

 AND PRACTICE. 

 A committee of the Ornamental 

 Growers Association with H. P. Kelsey 

 of Salem, Mass., as chairman Is pre- 

 paring a report in the endeavor to 

 standardize trade terms and trade prac- 

 tice in the nursery business. This report 

 would apply also to all horticultural 

 trades and professions, covering par- 

 ticularly florists, seedsmen and fruit 

 growers' activities. In compiling a 

 list of trade terms both as to descrip- 

 tion of plants in catalogs, grading of 

 plants in the field, and for sale, ship- 

 ping tags and marks, foreign trade 

 terms, import and export custom and 

 usage, it is desired to make a report 

 as comprehensive as possible, and Mr. 

 Kelsey asks that if any of our readers 

 know of any such lists and will kindly 

 give him the references it will aid the 

 committee very nnicli in its work. A 

 list of trade terms in any line of busi- 

 ness would help out considerably.
