hospital received seventy-five potted 

 plants during his illness, his room ap- 

 pearing like a conservatory. "When all 

 available space was filled, he directed 

 that the plants be distributed among 

 the other patients who had not been re- 

 membered so well. Cut flower growers 

 may draw their own inferences. 



Various Notes. 



The Bills Floral Co., Davenport, la., 

 reports that poinsettias were the only 

 cut flowers in which sales came up to ex- 

 pectations. Of potted plants of all kinds 

 this firm could not secure enough to fill 

 orders. 



Forbor & Bird, Davenport, la.; J. 

 Staack & Sons, Moline, 111.; J. E. Tuckis, 

 Rock Island, 111., and Henry G. Pauli, 

 Davenport, 111., all enjoyed brisk busi- 

 ness, in potted plants especially, and all 

 report an active market since the holi- 

 day. 



Mrs. George Forber is again at her 

 place of business, after an attack of 

 diphtheria. 



C. O. E. Boehm and his daughter both 

 have been ill with the "flu," but have 

 recovered. 



Harry Bills also is around after a 

 siege of the same malady. W. G.

Christmas Business. 



The weather December 24 was cold, 

 cloudy and windy. While it ^yas not 

 freezing, making deliveries was disagree- 

 able, but only a little wrapping was 

 necessary. Christmas morning the tem- 

 perature dropped to 25 degrees and to- 

 ward evening the first snow of the win- 

 ter fell, making it seem like Christmas. 

 Business was excellent, the demand be- 

 ing greater than the supply of either cut 

 flowers or plants. Prices were at least 

 fifty per cent higher than a year ago. 

 Eoses and carnations were so high in 

 price and hard to get that most of the 

 florists who did not grow their own 

 stock depended on plants to supply their 

 customers. There were fine ferns, poin- 

 settias, begonias, cyclamens and other 

 plants in pans to be had. 

 Various Notes. 



The Lockyear Floral Co. enjoyed a fine 

 business. Besides some fine roses, which 

 Mr. Lockyear secured on a contract with
