been incorporated to do a general 

 nursery, horticultural and florist busi- 

 ness and has purchased from the Geo. 

 Wittbold Co. the nursery land and 

 stock at Edgebrook, covering over 

 twenty-three acres and with a total 

 value of approximately $31,000. The 

 greenhouses, barns and other buildings 

 pertaining to the greenhouse branch of 

 the industry remain the property of 

 the Geo. Wittbold Co., but Otto Witt- 

 bold will retain charge as superintend- 

 ent until other satisfactory arrange- 

 ments can be made. 



The new company has a capital stock 

 of $20,000, the controlling interest be- 

 ing held by Otto Wittbold. The 'other 

 stockholders are Mrs. Emma WittboM, 

 his mother, and Mrs. Elsie Wittbold, 

 his wife. By the terms of the agree- 

 ment the stockholders in the Otto 

 Wittbold Nursery Co. have released 

 their stock in the Geo. Wittbold Co. 

 in exchange for the nursery land, 

 stock, wagons, horses, etc., the trans- 

 action being practically an even ex- 

 change. 



Various Notes. 



John Mangel opened his new store, 

 formerly occupied by Rowe, in time for 

 Easter. The old store will be aban- 

 doned toward the end of the month. 

 The new place is unique. It is quite 

 unlike any other flower store in Chi- 

 cago. The decorations and fixtures are 

 French, of the time of Louis some- 

 thing-or-other, and present a truly ar- 

 tistic appearance — but a florist gets an 

 impression of its impractical character, 

 there being no storage space, no work- 

 room and not half enough ice-box space 

 for a business the size of Mangel's.
