Nic Zweifel Sells Out. 



June 1 the large greenhouse estab- 

 • lishmen^ pjvned by N. Zweifel, at North 

 Milwaukee, Wis., was purchased and 

 tdken oyer by Grunwaldt Bros. This 

 rfenge consists of ten houses, kept strict- 

 ly up to date. There are 70,000 square 

 feet of glass iinder operation and the 

 space has been devoted exclusively to 

 carnation growing. Specialization and 

 unceasing effort have produced excep- 

 tionally fine stock, which has won prizes 

 at every exhibition 'in many parts of 

 the country. The Holton & Hunkel Co. 

 handles the entire cul;^ of this large 

 range. 



Mr. Zweifel has been in^business since 

 1893, when he started on a small scale 

 at Fourteenth street and Groeling ave- 

 nue, Milwaukee. In 1901 he built his 

 first greenhouses on the present site. 

 The place is located about seven miles 

 from the center of the city and he was 

 a pioneer in going out into the country 

 to build. Besides the well kept green- 

 houses, he has erected a residence which 

 is without a peer in that section of the 

 country. The dwelling is modern in 

 every respect and is lighted with gas 

 generated on the premises. 



Mr. Zweifel, who is not old by any 

 means, has been highly successful in 

 the trade and does not intend to 

 embark in business again for a few 

 years at least. His health is not of 

 the best and he will take life easy for 

 a while, spending his time partly in 

 travel and partly in regaining his vital- 

 ity. He was in Europe last year, ac- 

 companied by Mrs. Zweifel and their 

 daughter, Edna, when the war broke 

 out, and he has many interesting stories 

 to tell of the hardships of travel and 

 the stringency of money on the other 

 side. He has not lost interest in trade 

 enterprises and is still an active member 

 of the Milwaukee Florists' Club. He 

 will have no trouble in keeping busy 

 during the summer, as he has just pur- 

 chased a new Cadillac "eight." 



The new owners of the range will 

 maintain the high quality of stock for 

 which the place is noted and will have
