plentiful; but it is not pleasant to the 

 consumer to be compelled to pay a 

 famine price indefinitely for a plentiful 

 article. 



"The schedule of prices for coal fixed 

 by the government on the famine basis 

 should be speedily smashed; there never 

 was adequate excuse for the rates al- 

 lowed; there is less excuse for them 

 now than ever."

The Markets. 



Trade kept up well last week and, 

 while the principal call was for funeral 

 work and bouquets for hospital patients, 

 birthdays and wedding anniversaries 

 came in for their share. 



Chrysanthemums at present hold the 

 lead, as they come in such a variety of 

 sizes, shapes and colors as to render 

 them adaptable to any and all kinds of 

 work, and we shall miss them when they 

 are gone, which will be all too soon. 

 Eoses are in short supply, as are lilies, 

 and carnations are none too plentiful. 

 This makes it look as though there 

 would be a big shortage as soon as the 

 chrysanthemums are gone. 



There were a few good potted plants 

 on the market and some poor stock also, 

 which did not move well. 



Club Meeting. 



The Tri-City Florists' Club met in 

 regular session at the residence of C. 0. 

 E. Boehm, superintendent of parks, 

 Davenport, la., and the meeting was 

 one of the best attended in years. The 

 members made a tour of the greenhouses 

 and found the display far ahead of that 

 of former years, not so much in the qual- 

 ity of the bloom, which has always been 

 good, but in the arrangement of the 

 plants, which showed a marked improve- 

 ment over former years. The blooms 

 will be given to the Red Cross society 

 November 19 and 20, to be sold for the 

 benefit of the Red Cross fund. 



President Pauli presided and the topic 

 of the evening, "Efficiency and Con- 

 servation in Greenhouse Work," was in- 

 troduced by William Knees, Sr. A dis- 

 cussion followed, in which the members 

 participated. 



A question asked by Mr. Boehm as to 

 the comparative value of fresh and 

 rotted manure was answered in a satis- 

 factory way by Ludwig Stapp, Rock 

 Island, who seemed well versed on the 

 subject. 



John Staack, Moline, will open the 

 discussion at the January meeting, his 

 subject being "Overhead Expenses and 

 Readjustments. ' ' 



H. M. Bills will entertain the club at 

 the January meeting at Davenport.
