AN ILLINOIS ESTABLISHMENT. 



Keproduced on this page are two re- 

 cent photographs which give an idea of 

 the establishment of I. L. Pillsbury, of 

 (ialesburg, 111. Mr, J'illsbury is well 

 known as one of the most successful of 

 the many prosperous lloiists in the pro- 

 \ iiicial cities of Illinois, and the pictures 

 will serve to interest many who are simi- 

 larly situated. One view shows a bouse 

 principally devoted to roses in pots but 

 also containing many other items of the 

 miscellaneous stock which must be car- 

 ried by one who does business of a gen- 

 eral character. 



The other illustration is from a photo- 

 graph "showing the estjiblishnieiit from 

 the side, the ends of the greenhouse be- 

 ing obscur(>d by the service buildings. 

 Ill the foreground is the bedding, which 

 has served to attract much attention dur- 

 ing the summer. The words, "Pillsbury, 

 Florist," appear in large letters, back 

 of which are beds of ger.aniums, cannas, 

 etc., and between these and the buildings 

 is a patch of carnation plants nov\- houseid 

 ill first-class shape. In addition to this 

 establishment Mr, Pillsbury has a down- 

 town othce at 223 East Main street.

The lea\es are being eaten by an in-

Exhibits to rec<>ive attention from the 

 committees must in till cases be prepaid 

 to destination, and the entry fee of $2 

 should be forwarded to the secretary not 

 later than Tuesday of the week pre-

 to the rule re<piiring that sports to re-
