Biography:
JULIUS H. BOELTER, senior member of the firm of Boelter & Zuehlke, proprietors of the Riverside Greenhouse, is one of the enterprising young business men of Appleton, Wisconsin, and is well known in the greenhouse trade in this section, having spent all the years of his business activities in that line. Mr. Boelter was born in Germany, September 29, 1880, and was brought from that county to America when he was ten years old by his parents, William and Augusta Boelter, who are now living retired in Appleton. Mr. Boelter received a common school education in Appleton, and later attended business college, then entering the truck gardening and greenhouse business and at the same time attending evening school. In 1903, in partnership with B. J. Zuehlke, he bought the Riverside greenhouse, one of the oldest stands in its line in this section of the county, it having been established by Judge Harriman in 1870, and here they have continued to carry on operations to the present time with unquestioned success. On taking up this property, which comprises one acre of land, they erected all new buildings, placing them in convenient manner and fitting them with every modern appliance, and immediately took their place among the leading firms in this line. They deal both in wholesale and retail, command the services of seven employes and have a trade in cut flowers, ferns, shrubs, trees, bulbs, seeds and floral supplies that demands the operation of two delivery wagons, while their special pieces and made-up designs are in constant demand at gatherings of a social or fraternal nature. Both young men are possessed of much business ability, their rapidly growing business being sufficient proof for this statement.
