WITTBOLD'S EDGEBROOK PLACE. 



Pur the l,-is| three or loiir year> tin.' 

 (leorm' W'illhuld (o.. ('hicaijo. has lieell 

 engaged in IniildiiiL; up an eslalilishnieiil 

 at Ivlgi'liiook, just outside the city, \vhore 

 it could prodme the stock needed, pri- 

 marily, I'or its Landscape work, and where 

 also cut llowcrs ami decora! is o plants 

 could be produced in greater ((iiantity 

 and more cheaply than can be doin> ;it the 

 range of glass in the city, where e\ery 

 foot of ground h;is long .since heen occu- 

 pied :md then' was no room for expan- 

 sion. The Edgebrook establishnumt rep- 

 res(>nts to the Wittbold Co. an invest- 

 ineui ill more than .« I iKl.niHi. The accoin- 



]iaiiying illustration is from a photo- 

 grajili taken with a revolving camera, and 

 shows the greenlnnise establishment and 

 also a portion of the nursery grounds. 

 The luirsery is Just liegiiining its period 

 of greatest usefulness, for it has ttiken 

 time to stock it. The Wittbold <'o. does 

 a large amount of garden work in Chi- 

 cago ami vicinity ami it now has on this 

 Kdgebrook place; practically everything 

 that is reipiiri'il for this purpose. The 

 aim has lieen In eventually work into 

 the wholesale end ot the trade in lierba- 

 ceoHs sto(dv and shrubs, but the loctil de- 

 mand has thus far exceeded the supply of 

 siock. so that little has yet been done in 

 the wholesale way. This, however, is 

 expected to come later. 'I'he Edgebrook 

 ]ilaiit is in (dinrge of Otto Wittlmld, who 

 makes his home on Ihe iuirs(M-y.
