into business March 1, growing the 

 Mrs. Bussell rose exclusively. 



The Yorkville & Union Grove Green- 

 house Co., Union Grove, Wis., was or- 

 ganized last spring as the result of ef- 

 forts by those interested in the Mere- 

 dith Flower & Vegetable Co. It was 

 an inauspicious moment for new ven- 

 tures and financial vicissitudes resulted, 

 now cleared up by the leasing of the 

 establishment to competent growers for 

 operation. The range still lacks a few 

 days of completion. It consists of three 

 Lord & Burnham iron frame houses each 

 57^^x350, thoroughly up-to-date in 

 every particular, with all necessary 

 service buildings. The location is seven 

 miles t^est of Corliss, Wis., with good 

 train service to Chicago, where it is ex- 

 pected the cut will be sold on commis- 



sion. French & Salm will not take pos- 

 session until March 1, the place being 

 completed and lying idle in the inter- 

 val, so that they get it new and un- 

 used. 



Guy W. French is well known as the 

 president of the Chicago Florists' Club. 

 He has been with Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 at Morton Grove, for seventeen years, 

 in charge of carnations. He says it 

 seems like leaving home to make a 

 change, but that this seems an unusual 

 opportunity to start in business. Rich- 

 ard Salm has been at the Poehlmann 

 establishment for nine years, in charge 

 of the Beauties. Both ihefl'are known 

 as close thinkers and expert growers. 



Tbe House of Kennicott. 



The news of the sudden death of 

 E. E. Pieser, president of Kennicott, 



Bros. Co., was a shock, although the 

 market had realized that his health was 

 precarious. Mr. Pieser held sixty per 

 cent of the capital stock of the Kenni- 

 cott corporation, the other forty per 

 cent being in the hands of Agnes Ken- 

 nicott, widow of Flint Kennicott, and 

 her son, Hal, both of whom are in 

 Florida. Mrs. Pieser is her husband 's 

 only heir and has signified her wish 

 that the business go on without change, 

 the corporation having the services of 

 three experienced and capable men, 

 ■N. P. Miller, Max Ringier and E. 

 Frank, the latter in charge of the ac- 

 counting.
