"This," continues Mr. Zeller, "I preserved as my ; g.^f!£f migmm JOHN DAILLEDOUZE John Dailledouze, of Flatbush, New York, was born January i, 1828, in Geneva, Switzerland. He received his early training as a florist in the nurseries of his father located there. In 1849 Mr. Dailledouze emigrated to America, landing at New Or- leans, where he worked at the florist and nur- sery business until 1858, when, with Charles Zeller, he formed a copartnership and es- tablished a business in Flatbush, N. Y. Sub- sequently Mr. Joseph Card was added to the concern. The firm was dissolved in 1868. Mr. Dailledouze continued to operate the greenhouses until his death, which occurred in 1882. The business was subsequently carried on by his widow until 1892, when the firm became Dailledouze Brothers, being composed of Messrs. Eugene, Paul and Henry Dailledouze, who have since devel- oped the business into one of large propor- '?' tions, making a special feature of the carna- tion. Among the varieties introduced into com- merce by this firm are Prosperity, Alice John Dailledouze Roosevelt, and Bouton d' 290.
