Description	The Chicago Tribune, Aug. 4, 1891: "The Florists defeated a picked nine at Morton Grove Sunday" 12-11. The florists team here is presumably a Morton Grove team. Morton Grove, a suburb north of Chicago, was founded in 1895. It had 564 residents in 1900, and at the time was known as a florists (flower industry) town.
