OBITUAST. 



Jacob Budesule. 



Jacob Rudesule, a florist at Railroad 

 and Ridgewood avenues, Glendale, 

 Brooklyn, N, Y., died April 21, at the 

 age of 69 years. He had been ill since 

 February. His death was said to be 

 due to cirrhosis of the liver. 



George Engle. 



George Engle, who had been engaged 

 in the florist business at Xenia, O., for 

 the last thirty-four years, departed this 

 life at his home, Sunday, April 30. Mr. 

 Engle for many years had been a great 

 sufferer with kidney trouble, which 

 finally terminated in Bright 's disease. 

 So great was his determination and 

 ambition to take care of his business 

 that he did not give up until two weeks 

 ago, when he was confined to his bed. 

 Through his honesty and uprightness of 

 character he won many friends 

 wherever he went, and all will be 

 grieved to learn of his death. 



George Engle was born in Germany, 

 December 25, 1847, and came to this 

 country when a mere boy, making 

 his home in Xenia. He was married 

 for the second time in September, 1892. 

 His wife and one daughter, Esther, are 

 left to mourn his losg. 



Mrs. William Winter. 



Mrs. Winter, wife of William Winter, 

 of Kirkwood, St. Louis, Mo., died at 

 her home in that city April 29. She is 

 survived by her husband and four chil- 

 dren. Many beautiful tributes of flow- 

 ers were sent to the funeral by friends 

 in the trade. 



Mrs. Caroline O. Schllder. 



Mrs. Caroline Oberer Schilder, widow 

 of the late Martin Schilder, of Chilli- 

 cothe, O., died at her home on West 

 Fourth street Tuesday evening, April 

 25, as the result of organic heart 

 disease. She had been a sufferer from 

 the malady for several years, but was 

 apparently in her usual health until 

 almost the hour of her death. While 

 she was frail in body, she was re- 

 markably active for one of her age. 

 She was born at Mannheim, Germany, 

 June 10, 1830. At the age of 11 she 

 came to this country, and was united 

 in marriage to Martin Schilder in 1850. 

 Eleven children were born to this 

 union and seven survive the mother. 

 They are: Sister Evangela, of St. 

 Mary's of the Springs; Mrs. Frank 

 Spetnagel, and Messrs. Edward, Charles, 

 Thomas, William and Joseph, all of 

 Chillicothe.

The Market. 



Roses are in good supply. There are 

 plenty of Beauties for everybody. Car- 

 nations are abundant. The supply of 

 lilies, both Harrisii and callas, is also 

 good. There is some complaint about 

 outdoor lilacs, as the foliage protrudes 

 beyond the blooms on most of the old 

 varieties. The Russian lilacs are good. 

 There are few white lilac blooms to be 

 seen. Sweet peas are plentiful, with 

 prices about the same as previously. 

 Trade last week was rather slow. 

 Everybody is getting porch boxes 

 ready. This city is noted for its porch 

 and window boxes. 



These Are the Little Liners That Do the Basioess 



Various Notes. 



School commencements will soon be 

 due. A Walnut street flower shop sent 

 to each of* the teachers in the high 

 school a package of six nice roses, with 

 compliments for their past patronage. 

 We believe this way of advertising 

 pays well, if roses are plentiful. 



Miss Hattie Jewell reports a nice 

 business. Her display of Rex begonias 

 is fine. 



Miss Jennie Murray always has a 

 good display in her show window. 



A visit to the greenhouses of our 

 florists proves that all are in good shape 

 for a large spring trade. Quite a num- 

 ber have already delivered porch boxes, 

 and some bedding has been done at this 

 early date. It is hard to get some 

 people to wait until May when we have 

 such fine weather. Some of the florists 

 here expect to ask $1.50 per dozen for 

 their good geraniums, instead of $1, as 

 last year. 



The Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. is 

 well supplied with carnations and the 

 stock of roses is good. Their geraniums 

 are well grown and in excellent shape 

 and size. Their stock of calla lilies is 

 about the largest in the city. Large 

 quantities of purple lilacs are handled 

 here. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. had a 

 pretty window last week; yellow and 

 purple irises and ferns were the chief 

 decorations. 



Samuel Murray had an excellent dis- 

 play in his window, which caused al- 

 most everybody to stop and look. 



Nelson Jarrett's two wagons of 

 blooming plants can be seen every day 

 in the market. His stock is good this 

 year. Mr. Jarrett has given his per- 

 sonal attention to the growing end of 

 the business all winter. » 



August Luther has two wagons that 

 make daily trips to the market with 

 bedding plants. 



A. Arnold is on hand with two 

 wagons loaded down with fine gera- 

 niums and pot roses in full bloom. He 

 has no competition on roses. 



W. H. H. 



Maywood, ni.— Rober & Radke, at 

 1712 South Fourth avenue, recently com- 

 pleted a new addition to their green- 

 houses. This firm was organized less 

 than six months ago, by Ernst Rober 

 and Martin Radke. Mr. Rober had 

 previously conducted the business alone 

 for about two years. They are quite 

 pleased with the outlook.
