The Florists' Rcvkw 



OCTOBIB 14, 1016. 



VINCENNES, INp. 



Paul C. Schultz was born to be a Sl*?- 

 rist. He did not exactly grow up in 

 a greenhouse, although -his boyhood 

 playground was under the glass of two 

 small houses his mother had erected for 

 her own pleasure. Before he learned 

 his A, B, Cs, he was familiar with 

 flowers and well on the way to become 

 a florist. 



Mr. Schultz was as much at home in 

 the greenhouses as the flowers. And 

 none of the defects of hothouse culture 

 developed in him as a result of the 

 artificial atmosphere^ as his business 

 success will prove. It was an easy 

 step into the business. The recreation 

 spot of twenty-five years ago is still 

 the site of a greenhouse and he is the 

 owner. But where his mother had only 

 two diminutive greenhouses he has six 

 houses with 20,000 square feet of glass. 



It was at the age of 15 years that 

 he resolved to become a commercial 

 grower. His mother started a florists' 

 business at that time, purchasing prop- 

 erty for the purpose in the same block. 

 as their home. Shortly afterward Mr. 

 Schultz, then 16 years old, left for Chi- 

 cago to work as an apprentice in a 

 large greenhouse, so that he might 

 learn more about the business. Later 

 he returned home and the firm of Mrs. 

 C. W. Schultz & Son was established. 

 In 1906, when he was 21 years of age, 

 the business was transferred to him 

 and has since been conducted under his 

 name. 



One at a time Mr. Schultz has added 

 new greenhouses until now he has six. 

 He still uses the office which he him- 

 self bought for the sum of $20 when 

 his mother made the first investment. 

 The money was the savings which had 

 accumulated in a dime savings bank. 

 When he bought the office building, he 

 says, it marked the beginning of an 

 excessive desire to erect more houses. 



All of this was what Mr. Schultz told 

 the members of the Rotary Club in his 

 city in an address recently. As a Eo- 

 tarian he gained the opportunity to tell 

 his business associates about his busi- 

 ness career in the fashion of Rotarians 

 in the mutual exchange of experiences 

 and opinions. At the conclusion of his 

 speech he extended an invitation to the 

 members and their friends to visit his 

 plant and see the scientific way of 

 growing flowers, which is an indication 

 that Mr. Schultz is alive to the advan- 

 tages of the Rotarian policy of business- 

 social intercourse carried on as one.
