est business the company ever did at 

 Thanksgiving. 



T. J. Noll & Co. report the business 

 doubled over that of last year at 

 Thanksgiving. More than 8,000 yellow 

 Bonnaffons were sold. The store was 

 empty early in the day. 



Henry Kusik & Co. moved more than 

 14,000 mums for the Thanksgiving 

 trade. Orders for wirework are be- 

 coming heavier again. 



C. H. Hartman says that the nursery 

 business has been heavy this fall. He 

 complains of lack of room in which to 

 do all the business. 



Visitors last week were P. M. Koontz, 

 of the McGregor Bros. Co., Sprinfield, 

 O., and William P. Ward, of the D. Hill 

 Nursery Co., Dundee, HI. W. J. B.

The Markets. 



The Thanksgiving trade was about 

 up to the average of the same day of 

 other years. Chrysanthemums were the 

 principal sellers, with an increasing de- 

 mand for pompons and singles. Roses, 

 with the exception of Killarney, were 

 in rather short supply. Violets are not 

 so plentiful as formerly. Sweet peas, 

 antirrhinums and Paper Whites are to 

 be had. The sale of carnations is in- 

 creasing and the supply is good. The 

 demand for potted plants ij| not large, 

 but is on the advance. 



Various NQtes. 



William J. Westphall, one of Daven- 

 port 's old-time and well known florists, 

 passed away November 29, at the home 

 of his sister. The decedent and Mrs. 

 Westphall celebrated their sixtieth wed- 

 ding anniversary a few weeks ago. For 

 many years Mr, Westphall operated 

 greenhouses on North Brady street and 

 had a store in the downtown district. 

 He retired from the florists' business in 

 1902. 



Mr. and Mrs. William Knees, Jr., who 

 recently returned from a wedding trip 

 to Nebraska, were treated to a surprise 

 by the members of the Tri-City Florists ' 

 Club Monday, November 26. The club 

 members called on the couple in a body 

 at the cozy bungalow in Moline and 

 presented them with a handsome electric 

 lamp. Lunch was served and a pleasant 

 time enjoyed by all. W. G. 



Greenford, O. — A. disastrous fire 

 which apparently originated in the 

 heating plant last week almost entirely 

 destroyed the range of Frank Knauf, 

 whose establishment is located north 

 of this place. The loss is estimated at 

 $5,000. No insurance was carried and 

 it is doubtful whether Mr. Knauf will 

 rebuild. / - j
