DAVENPORT, B. ISLAND, MOUNE. 



The Market. 



Trade was quiet last week. Boses are 

 good, although short of stem, with Beau- 

 ties now available. Lilies are plentiful 

 enough to supply the trade. Gladioli 

 are of fine quality and numerous, but 

 asters have been poor. They sell fairly 

 well, however, owing to the shortage of 

 other flowers. As a whole, flowers are 

 scarce, a condition attributed to the dry 

 weather. 



Club Meeting. 



The members of the Tri-City Florists * 

 Club left Davenport, Thursday, August 

 9, in a special car for Muscatine, on 

 the invitation of Emil Kranz. There 

 We're thirty-six members in the party, 

 and it proved to be the most enjoyable 

 trip ever taken by the club. Upon ar- 

 rival at Muscatine the party was met' 

 by Mr. Kranz and Mayor E. C. McNutt, 

 who had automobiles waiting, and was 

 taken for a tour of the Island, visiting 

 the waterworks, greenhouses and other 

 points of interest. On the return to the 

 German Club house, Mr. and Mrs. Kranz 

 invited the members of the club to par- 

 take of supper. C. O. E. Boehm acted 

 as toastmaster of the evening and intro- 

 duced the various speakers with suitable 

 remarks. Mayor McNutt was the first 

 speaker and gave an address of wel- 

 come. He was presented with a huge 

 bouquet of gladioli from the Butter- 

 worth Gardens, of Moline, by Arvid 

 Anderson, president of the society, who 

 was the next speaker. He was followed 

 by Ludwig Stapp, Emil Kranz, William 

 Knees, William Goos and C. J. Reardon. 



A vote of thanks was given Mr. and 

 Mrs. Emil Kranz for the splendid sup- 

 per and the good time. After the din- 

 ner, music and dancing were indulged 

 in, and were followed by a few selec- 

 tions by a society of twenty singers 

 and a whistling solo by one of its mem- 

 bers. 



A short business meeting was held 

 and the party left for home at 10 

 o'clock, sorry to leave so soon.
