Current Comment* 



Business in this part of the world is 

 beginning to move along. We have a 

 few changes in the way of stores. Mrs. 

 Suder moved her store from Adams, near 

 St. Claire, to a location opposite the 

 Central high school on Madison street. 

 Instead of using only half of a store, as 

 before, she now has a whole store, with 

 a fine basement, and as Madison street 

 is the natural outlet for our best resi- 

 dence district, there is no reason why 

 she should not break all records. The 

 store is well fixed up, looks neat, and is 

 under the management of her son-in-law 

 and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Gallo- 

 way, who surely are the right people in 

 the right place. 



Another firm has started in business 

 on St. Claire street, near Adams, under 

 the name of the Schoen Floral Co., un- 

 der the management of Frank Schoen, 

 late of G. A. Heinl's store force and 

 before that of Murdoch's, Pittsburg. 

 Mr. Schoen says that the business so far 

 exceeds all expectations. This is an in- 

 corporated stock company with plenty of 

 capital back of it. 



The Perennial Gardens Co., under tho 

 management of J. L. Schiller, started 

 in business last spring. A tract of land, 



including the building of the late Ziegler 

 Filter & Pottery Co., at Miami, a sub- 

 urb of this city, was bought and planted 

 with a lot of hardy stock that turned 

 out well. At present they are busy put- 

 ting up six houses 18x125, Moninger 

 material, to be heated by hot water with 

 a Kroeschell boiler under forced circula- 

 tion. The houses are to be used for 

 palms, ferns and a general line of cata- 

 logue stock. They have just received 

 a large shipment of peonies from Hol- 

 land and Mr. Schiller reports the bulb 

 business as coming along nicely. 



I. N. Keller, of Bay Shore, has just 

 finished a house 25x100, which he in- 

 tends to use for sweet peas and a general 

 Une of stock. 



Wohler Bros, are putting up two 

 houses 27x100 to be used for lettuce this 

 season and later for carnations and mums. 

 Their carnations are doing nicely. 



8. Peck has his two new houses on 

 South street planted and the carnations 

 are looking well. The houses are 22x100 

 feet. 



T. Magee, of Scottwood, is justly 

 proud of his Gloire de Lorraine bego- 

 nias. His roses also are fine. His poin- 

 settias are not as good as in former 

 years, yet they are good. 



I have to report the death of Nic 

 Feitz, a native of Luxemburg, who for 

 a number of years managed St. Mary's 



Catholic cemetery. He worked before 

 that for a number of years for Mrs. H. 

 Suder and G. A. Heinl. 



C. F. Iraoberstag, a native of Switzer- 

 land, died September 27 at his home on 

 Western avenue, where his greenhouses 

 also are located. One of his sons is con- 

 tinuing the business and one daughter 

 is married to Otto Krueger, of Krueger 

 Bros. 



At our last club meeting, which was 

 entirely informal, our president and sec- 

 retary being absent, Mr. Schiller showed 

 a fine bunch of dahlias and a lot of the 

 newest cannas. E. A. Kuhnke displayed 

 a lot of Bostons in 5-inch and 6-inch 

 pots and a few cut carnations, including 

 Rose Pink Enchantress and some of his 

 latest seedlings, among them Cranky 

 Peggy, a carnation that splits its calyx 

 all around and which, on account of the 

 large number of petals, looks like a snow- 

 ball or chrysanthemum. The Detroit 

 Florists' Club, after inspecting a few 

 fiowers last season, called it a freak. 



E. A. K. 



KosEDALE, Kan. — C. H. Ackerman 

 heats with natural gas under a Kroes- 

 chell boiler, being located on the pipe- 

 line into Kansas City. He finds the gas 

 to be cheaper than coal but believes 

 there still is room for improvement in 

 burners.
