OBITUARY 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Business last week was about the 

 same as the preceding week, except 

 for a decrease in funeral work and 

 some increase in counter trade. One 

 balanced the other. A heavy frost last 

 week put a finish to all outdoor stock, 

 which will make a big difference in 

 the prices of cut flowers from the 

 greenhouses, if the chrysanthemums 

 do not come in faster than is expected. 

 There were plenty of all kinds of cut 

 flowers last week and they cleaned up 

 rather fast. All cut flowers now ar- 

 rive in much better shape, especially 

 as regards the firmness of the flowers 

 and the length of stems. 



Prom all reports the indications are 

 that business for the coming winter is 

 going to surpass any previous year. 



A visit to the different growers will 

 show a big increase in the growing of 

 potted plants, cyclamens and begonias 

 being the principal stock grown. 



Across the state line business is good. 

 A much larger counter trade has been 

 noticed, with about the usual amount 

 of funeral work. Kansas and Mis- 

 souri nurserymen also report a good 

 fall business and are pleased with the 

 way orders have started to come in. 



Various Notes. 



The Forest Hill Greenhouse is send- 

 ing in some good white and yellow 

 mums. The company expects to build 

 more houses in the near future. 



Adolph D. Mohr has a fine lot of pot 

 plants for Christmas and also a nice 

 lot of young table ferns. 



The American Eoyal Livestock and 

 Horse Show was well attended by peo- 

 ple carrying large mums. 



E. S. Brown & Son report a good 

 shipping business. They are now cut- 

 ting yellow and white mums and their 

 carnations have commenced to come in 

 more strongly. 



The Wm. L. Rock Flower Co. had a 

 good run on funeral work last week. 

 They are cutting plenty of good car- 

 nations and some extra good mums. 



The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant 

 Co. is showing some nice cyclamen 

 plants in bloom. They have devoted 

 more space this year to pot plants 

 than in any previous year. Hayes 

 Riker, foreman, and Thomas Martin, 

 from the greenhouses, were in the city 

 last week. 



Miss J. F. Murray reports business 

 good. She made a blanket of 750 

 Ophelia roses last week. 



Walter R. Heite has more space this 

 fall devoted to sweet peas than ever 

 before. His mums are good and he is 

 cutting a lot of yellow at present. 



Henry Kusik is away on a three 

 weeks' trip to Billings, Mont. 



T. J. Noll & Co. report that the de- 

 mand for stock is heavy, especially 

 from out-of-town customers. It is 

 hard at times to fill some of the or- 



DENVEB. 



The Market. 



Business is improving steadily, as a 

 heavy frost has killed all outdoor flow- 

 ers. Carnations are good and there are 

 just about enough of them to supply 

 the demand. Rosea are arriving in 

 large quantities and are exceptionally 

 fine. Some good cattleyas are to be 

 had and they find a ready sale. Snap- 

 dragons, lilies, chrysanthemums and 

 valley are also offered. Good pot plants 

 are to be had, including cyclamens, 

 primulas, and such begonias as Lor- 

 raine, Cincinnati, Chatelaine, B. lumi- 

 nosa and Prima Donna. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Fraser, for several years with 

 the Alpha Floral Co., has bought the 

 Arapahoe Flower Shop. 



The Boldt-Lundy Flower Shop has 

 added an Overland delivery car to its 

 service. 



The Mauff Floral Co. has just fin- 

 ished glazing the new houses at the 

 Logan avenue place. 



Herbert Claussen, formerly with the

 to-date flower stand in the new Union 

 station as soon as it is completed. 



The Park Floral Co. had the deco- 

 rations for a large dinner party given 

 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., at the 

 Country Club. The decorations were 

 carried out with yellow chrysanthe- 

 mums and autumn foliage. The favors 

 for the ladies consisted of corsages of 

 orchids and valley. 



The Speth Floral Co. has moved into 

 the new store at 1201 East Colfax ave- 

 nue, just three doors west of the old 

 location. The new store is highly at- 

 tractive and is one of the finest in 

 Denver. R. S.

 an attack of blood poisoning which be- 

 gan eight months ago. She was born

 ried Mr, Noack in June, 1911. She 

 was a member of the Presbyterian 

 church and of the Eastern Star. She 

 is survived by her husband, by her son, 

 Norman, and her daughter, Elsa, and 

 by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard 

 Bey, of Rochester, and a brother,

Qeorge G. Goldbach. 



George G. Goldbach, of Lancaster, 

 Pa., died at St. Joseph 's hospital, Octo- 

 ber 4. Death was due to blood poison- 

 ing, which was due to picking a pimple. 



The funeral was held October 8. The 

 Lancaster county florists gathered at his 

 home and later attended the services at 

 St. Anthony's church. 



Mr. Goldbach first worked at the 

 trade with A. D. Rohrer & Bro., where 

 he spent a number of years. Later, 

 with his brother Herman, he conducted 

 a retail and market business. A few 

 years later the partnership was dis- 

 solved and the deceased erected an ex- 

 tensive range of greenhouses. He pur- 

 chased a store on North Duke street, 

 where he disposed of most of his flow- 

 ers. He was an enthusiastic member 

 of the Lancaster County Florists' Club. 



Mr. Goldbach was born in Lancaster, 

 being a son of Lawrence Goldbach, who 

 survives. His mother is dead. Mr. 

 Goldbach is survived by his wife, who 

 was Miss Ida Ransing, and three chil- 

 dren, Agnes, Jervis and Gertrude. He 

 was a brother of Mrs. Oscar Hilbert, 

 Herman, Amelia, Mary, Frank and 

 Elizabeth Goldbach, of Lancaster, and 

 Charles Goldbach, of Philadelphia. Mr. 

 Goldbach was a member of St. An- 

 thony's church, the Knights of Colum- 

 bus, Pennsylvania Catholic Beneficial 

 Society, the local lodge of Moose, Cone- 

 stoga Council, No. 463, Royal Arcanum, 

 the local aerie of Eagles and the Lan- 

 caster Florists' Association. 



Oglesby Paul. 



Oglesby Paul, landscape gardener of 

 Fairmount park, Philadelphia, died sud- 

 denly while on a visit to friends at Bos- 

 ton, Wednesday, October 6. The fu- 

 neral took place from his home at Villa 

 Nova, Pa., October 9. His wife sur- 

 vives him. 



These are the facts — the cold, sad 

 facts. A life full of energy and enter- 

 prise ended before reaching its prime. 

 A man who has done much for horticul- 

 ture has gone. 



Mr. Paul was a landscape gardener 

 of ability. He layed out and improved 

 many fine places of Philadelphia and 

 elsewhere. His work at Fairmount park 

 was marked by a determined effort to 

 turn the waste spaces to account. The 

 parterre, or sunken garden, was only 

 planted during the summers before his 

 time. When Mr. Paul assumed com- 

 mand the garden was planted each fall 

 with tulips and narcissi, so that there 

 was always a crop in the ground. The 

 great lecture room in Horticultural hall, 

 used at rare intervals, was turned into 

 a cactus house. The guard room and 

 front room in the hall were removed 

 to give more greenhouse room. The 

 echeveria-alternanthera dates that had 

 ornamented the east end bank of the 

 hall for twenty years or more were re- 

 placed by Scotch firs of dwarf habit. 

 The new type of cannas were intro- 

 duced. These are a few of the improve- 

 ments made by Mr. Paul. They suffice 

 to show that his work was fully abreast 

 of the times. Phil. 



Oshkosh, Wis. — In a recent automo- 

 bile accident, Joseph A. Oles, 256 

 Spruce street, sustained severe bruises 

 of his neck and shoulders.
