Mr. Cashmau's Flan. 



These are just a few of the pertinent 

 queries that the retailer directs at the 

 wholesaler at this time. We cannot say 

 that any effort whatever has been made 

 up to this time toward the carrying out 

 of a single one of these preeminent 

 questions. Is it any wonder that there 

 is a strained relationship existing be- 

 tween the retailer and the wholesaler? 



I would suggest to the wholesalers a 

 program that, in my opinion, would 

 eventually eliminate many of the crit- 

 icisms offered by the retailers. I un- 

 derstand that the wholesalers have an 

 organization maintained principally to 

 determine who of the retailers are 

 worthy of credit and who are not. I do 

 not know that this association has for 

 its purpose any other object. Now, why 

 could not this wholesale organization 

 establish a bureau employing a compe- 

 tent man, with proper assistance, whose 

 duty it would be to gather statistics 

 and compile aggregates of all the mar- 

 ketable and available nursery stock be- 

 ing grown throughout the country? This 

 bureau could be made a veritable bu- 

 reau of information, a business aid to 

 the rctail"ers. It would help the smaller 

 man immeasurablv. 



DAVENPORT, R. ISLAND, MOLINE. 



The Market. 



Business was good last week in spite 

 of the hot weather, a greater part of it 

 consisting of funeral work. Roses are 

 in fair supply and tlie quality is good 

 for the season. Carnations .arc out of 

 the market. Lilies are in sufticient sup- 

 ply to meet the demand and enrly asters 

 have arrived. Snapdragons, daisies dnd 

 other outdoor flowers are plentiful. 



Club Meeting and Picnic. 



Tiie annual ])icnic of tlie Tri-City 

 Florists ' Clul) was held at the William 

 Knees summer cottage on Rock river 

 and was well attended. R. P. McNutt,

 ner and supper wore served on tiie

 ing, games and races for the old and 

 young, witii i)rizes for tlie winners.
