 grown to huge proportions, occupying 

 a large factory of its own. Every- 

 thing that goes into greenhouse con- 

 struction is there furnished.

A FINE WHOLESALE HOUSE FOR 

 ST. LOUIS. 

 Charles A. Kuehn sprang a big sur 

 prise on the local trade when he an- 

 nounced that he would this week 

 move into his own building which has 

 been in course of erection for the past 

 few months at 1312 Pine street. The 

 new building is of three story and 

 basement and is fitted out with all the 

 latest improvements, such as wireless 

 'phones, cold storage, elevators, new 

 office fixtures and new tables. The 

 first floor will bo used for the cut 

 flower department, the second for sup- 

 plies and the third for the wire fac- 

 tory. No one had ever dreamed that 

 this new building was being specially 

 built for a wholesale florist place. It 

 will be the best and largest wholesale 

 house of its kind in the country and 

 that is saying a whole lot. 



Council Bluffs, Iowa — A slight fire 

 occurred at the Wilcox Greenhouses
