The Floral Conservatory, also known as the Greenhouse or Palm Garden, was part of the Zoo[1]. Ground was broken for the Greenhouse on September 13, 1904, to house flowers and plants to protect them from the winter frosts.[2] It was built between the Theater and High Street.[3] Some of the flowers were from Good & Reese Co. of Springfield, Mo.[4]
Joseph Katona
Park florist and head gardener Joseph Katona had a small hose and was able to save the six greenhouses in 1914 when a fire caused by paint-saturated overalls of a painter laid too close to a boiler caused $700 in damage ($20,742 in 2022).[5][6] Joseph Katona came from Budapest in 1904. In Budapest, he was in charge of the royal gardens.[7]
