of large lots. A mass of shrubs or a 

 combination of trees and shrubs makes 

 not only the best possible ground cover, 

 but also furnishes a background for the 

 lot. Against such a background a mass 

 of flowers, such as peonies or iris, will 

 extend the ground cover and furnish a 

 pleasing bit of color. In place of peonies 

 and iris, one might have any suitable, 

 hardy perennial, or might use low, creep- 

 ing plants like the Wichuraiana roses 

 with their hybrids, the running straw- 

 berry bush, dewberries, the American 

 yew, prostrate junipers, or any low, at- 

 tractive plant that can easily be kept 

 within bounds. 



In order to make large grounds attrac- 

 tive, it is necessary to have open spaces, 

 some large and some small, but in be- 

 tween these spaces, framing them in or 

 forming their boundaries, there should 

 be foliage so arranged as to hide, at 

 least partially, one open area from an- 

 other, foliage sometimes reaching only 

 to the height of the eye and again 

 ascending to the top of the tallest tree. 

 These areas of foliage make a ground 

 cover quite distinct from the usual lawn. 

 They make the lawn itself more effective 

 and form the pictures which constitute 

 the charm of any grounds. By the al- 

 most infinite number of different kinds 

 of plants that can be used to cover the 

 ground and produce the banks of foliage 

 desired, one can secure the greatest pos- 

 sible variety. 



DAVENPORT, B. ISLAND, MOUNE. 



The Markets. 



Trade last week was good for this 

 time of year. Flowers, with the excep- 

 tion of roses, are scarce and the demand 

 is such as to create a shortage in most 

 lines. Lilies were not to be had last 

 week. Asters are small and of poor 

 quality. Gladioli, too, show the effects 

 of the dry, hot weather, as do all out- 

 door flowers, and the prospects for the 

 immediate future are not brilliant. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Julius Staack and Mr. 

 and Mrs. John Staack and family, of 

 Moline, are on a motor tour of Wiscon- 

 sin. They will stop at Chicago on their 

 return. 



Henry Gaethje, of Rock Island, has 

 piped his place so that he can irrigate 

 his fields, in the hope that he may save 

 his late asters and gladioli. 



William Knees, of Moline, reports 

 business unusually good, most of it be- 

 ing funeral work. W. G. 



Evansville, Ind.— The E v a n s v i 1 1 e 

 Floral Co. has dissolved and discon- 

 tinued business.
