E. H. HUNT. March 8th. 1909. 



Chicago, 111. 



Dear Sir:— We have now had ample 

 time to test the Wittbold cement benches we 

 installed in our new Greenhouse and Conserva- 

 tory last fall, and the durableness and practical 

 use of same compelii us to recommend them very 

 highly. Respectfully Yours, 



SCHILLEK THE FLORIST,

E. H. HUNT. 



76 Wabash Ave., Chicago, 111. 



Dear Sir:— In answer to yours of recent 

 date in regard to the Wittbold style of Cement 



I have built 5 in all, 6 and 7 feet wide, and 

 assure you I am more than pleased with them. 



I am convinced that Mr. Wittbold's idea of 

 bench building is the most simple and practical 

 that a greenhouse man can adopt, as the cost is 

 BO low that everyone can afford to build them, 

 and the construction so simple that unskilled 

 labor can do the work. 



It is the coming idea for bench building, I 

 assure you. I am not an old man, but as long as 

 my place lasts I will never need to worry about 

 bmlding benches again. Thanks to Mr. Wittbold. 



I am, v,...* Yours Truly, 



John Paulus.

 nual meeting of the American Eose So-

Various Notes. 



A new flower store, to be called tlie 

 Italian Gardens, is to be opened on Main 

 street by J. Benson Stafford, with all the 

 latest New York ideas. The store is to 

 open March 20. Mr. Stafford is a Buf- 

 falo boy, having worked with W. ,T. Pal- 

 mer for some time. Later he went to 

 New York and worked there as a store 

 man and is now starting in his home 

 town again. His store is to be much 

 different from the ordinary flower store, 

 as the name implies.

Reports from other cities lead us to 

 believe that business, though quiet, is not 

 ^o poor as at this season other years. 

 Stock is overplentiful and nearly any- 

 thing can be had at a moment 's notice.
