MERRY CHRISTMAS 



is the result of a long series of seedling crosses, beginning 

 with Beacon and Victory. It comes with long and always 

 strong stems early, and the bloom never appears sleepy. It 

 is an all-season scarlet and always high-grade, never splitting 

 the calyx and never off color. Come and see it growing. 



December and early January delivery all sold. 

 Booking orders now for Jan. 15th and later.

The Markets. 



There was little change in market 

 conditions last week. Chrysanthemums 

 still are the leaders. Roses are in good 

 demand, with carnations and other 

 items moving slowly. There is a good, 

 steady call, but there have been no 

 big days and no large funerals to cover 

 the surplus. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Tri-City 

 Florists' Club was held at Van Der 

 Veer park, in the residence of Superin- 

 tendent C. O. E. Boehm. It was the 

 best attended meeting of the year. 

 After inspecting the greenhouses and 

 chrysanthemum show, which was fully 

 up to its usual high standard, the meet- 

 ing was called to order by President 

 Stapp. After the routine business, C. 

 J. Reardon read a well prepared and 

 interesting article on chrysanthemums, 

 which was followed by a general dis- 

 cussion. 



The question of holding a Tri-City 

 flower show was taken up, and a reso- 

 lution favoring a flower show was 

 unanimously passed. The following 

 committee was appointed to look after 

 the preliminary work of holding the 

 show: Rock Island, L. Stapp, H. 

 Gaethje, C. Sorensen; Moline, J. Staack, 

 William Knees. Sr., A. Anderson; Dav- 

 enport, H. Pauli, T. Bills, C. J. Reardon; 

 Bettendorf, William Goos, P. G. Pear- 

 son, Frank Davis. The committee is to 

 report at the next meeting. 



The club members then partook of 

 supper and extended a vote of thanks 

 to Mr. and Mrs. Boehm. The next 

 meeting will be held Thursday, Decem- 

 ber 14, with A. Anderson and C. Soren- 

 sen as hosts. 



Various Notes. 



William Knees, Jr., and Henrietta 

 Lutt were married Saturday, November 

 11. The couple are on a wedding trip 

 to parts in Nebraska. 



Julius staack & Sons have a new yel- 

 low chrysanthemum that looks like a 

 good one. J. Staack reports trade 

 good for the time of year, with a few 

 big days in decorative work. W. G.
