| TEXT | The name of Klunder will ever be worthily associated with the advancement and development of the florist business upon a scale of magnitude and excellence unequalled in the United States, and for the impetus that he has given to the education of the public tastes for the true appreci-atioa of the floral beauties of nature. Mr. Klunder is essentially a self-made man. A native of Germany he came to the United States in 1866 and at once engaged in his chosen profession, in which he has so worthily taken the lead. He first opened a store of his own on Broadway on October 11, 1869, and it was located on the same block between 20th and 21st Streets, where he has ever since permanently remained. He was originally in the old Hecksher House, long a landmark, and where he remained until six years ago he removed directly opposite, into his present commodious and central establishment. Here he exhibits the finest and choicest array of cut flowers to be found in the city throughout the entire year. It is the same with his stock in winter as in summer, always complete and ample for emergencies. He is a florist of excellent judgment and exquisite taste, and fills all orders for balls, parties, and wedding decorations in the promptest manner, and in an unsurpassed style of artistic perfection. His trade is of immense proportions and of strictly first-class character, including the best people not only of New York but of other cities as well. Mr. Klunder is the proprietor of the finest and most extensive greenhouses in the business, and which are located at Sing Sing and in New Jersey. His estate at Sing Sing is of national prominence. It is known as the " Lockadian Gardens," and is located on the oldest historic spot in that part of the country. There have been greenhouses there for over seventy-five years past, and the estate has been famous in by-gone days. It was, however, in ruins when Mr. Klunder bought it, and he energetically set to work to remodel, rebuild and develop it to meet his tastes and business requirements. Some idea of the magnificent condition in which this valuable property now is may be gathered when we state that Mr. Klunder spent over fifty thousand dollars in rebuilding and renovating the greenhouses, his mansion and the grounds. He has now one of the most elegant residences along the shores of the Hudson, an unrivalled series of green-louses, and grounds which are famous far and wide for their ornamental beauty and situation. The most picturesque scenery at Sing Sing is where these greenhouses are located, and the delighted visitor gets a charming-vista of the river, with green-clad hill and dale, in which, are centred the magnificent improvements effected by Mr. Klunder. Mr. Klunder not only leads in the quantity and excellence of his roses and other cut flowers, but ikewise makes a specialty of rare and ornamental plants, filling orders from private parties only, and being the recognized purveyor for any large display of this kind ire the metropolis. In the line of cut flowers he does a wholesale trade all over the United States, shipping by express to florists in the various cities and towns. Such in brief is an outline of this meritorious business interest, but it fails to convey an adequate idea of Mr. Klunder's distinguished enterprise, nor of the energy and wonderful perseverance characteristic of him, and by means of which, from small beginnings, he has built up the largest, as it is also the representative, florist business of the United States. Mr. Klunder is very popular and univer. sally respected, and as a business man of great enter, prise and sterling integrity is worthy of the great meas. ure of success that has attended his earnest efforts. |
