MOLINE, ILL. 



A special meeting of the Tri-City Flo- 

 rists' Club was held at Turner hall, 

 Moline, 111., with only one member ab- 

 sent. The good attendance, no doubt, 

 was due to the near approach of the 

 annual meeting of the Illinois State 

 Florists' Association, which will be 

 held March 7 and 8. A. Anderson, a 

 recent benedict, received the hearty 

 congratulations of the members present. 



Harry Bills, president, called the 

 meeting to order, and, in addition to 

 other business connected with the state 

 meeting, the entertainment committee 

 outlined a sight-seeing trip in automo- 

 biles, for those in attendance at the 

 annual meeting. The trip will include 

 points of interest in Moline, the Gov- 

 ernment island if permit can be ob- 

 tained, Davenport, Davis Garden, Bet- 

 tendorf and Eock Island, where lunch 

 will be served at Ludwig Stapp's place; 

 then back to Moline, including stops at 

 the various parks and greenhouses. 



Two new members, J. W. Davis and 

 Frank Davis, were elected to member- 

 ship. The following committee was 

 appointed to meet visitors at the 1:50 

 p. m. Bock Island train: A. Anderson, 

 Wm. Knees, Sr., Ludwig Stapp, H. 

 Pauli, H. Bills, C. J. Reardon.

Arthur W. Potter, Jr., won the $5

 essay by an assistant gardener, at the 

 regular meeting of the Newport Horti- 

 cultural Society, February 22. Mr. 

 Potter, who is in charge of one of the 

 best rock gardens in this country, sub- 

 mitted an essay on "Rock Gardens and 

 Rock Plants." Preceding the reading

 "The Culture of the Grape" was pre- 

 sented in an interesting and instructive 

 manner by WUliam MacKay, former 

 president of the society.
