The only practical and experienced florist in Brazil, or Clay Co, is the subject of this sketch. Albert Dinkel was born in Lancaster, PA March 31,1859, moved to Terre haute with his parents in 1865 and came to Brazil in 1891. For twelve years Mr. Dinkel was in the employ of the Heinl brothers of Terre Haute as florist, gaining knowledge and experience in his ine that have served so well in the establishment of his business in this city. Wedding and party decorations and designs of floral tributes are specialties in which Mr. Dinkel cannot be excelled. His green houses covered with three thousand feet of glass contain a general assortment of bedding and decorative plants and he keeps in season a full line of bulbs, including calla lilies, hacinths, tulips, norcises, daffadills, joanquils, crocuses etc. Choice cut roses and cut flowers are furnished at all times in the year. Many are the visitors to Mr. Dinkel's floral establishment on north Walnut street and few go away who have not profited by the visit. Personally an affable gentleman, Dr. Dinkel takes special pains to be courteous in his treatment of patrons and has earned the reputation of dealing with them fairly. All are invited to inspect his green houses and will be welcome. In 1880 Mr. Dinkel was married to Miss Emma Montgomery at Terre Haute. The family residence adjoins the greenhouses.
