stock that is hardy enough for Fin- 

 land's rigorous climate. 



The nurserymen suggest the possibil- 

 ity of the importation of small experi- 

 mental lots of hardy trees from the 

 colder sections of the United States, 

 reports Consul Parker W. Buhrman, 

 from Helsingfors, as such trees will 

 probably be better adapted to the cli- 

 mate of Finland.

The Market. 



Trade was inclined to be quiet last 

 week. Koses are of good quality and 

 enough for the needs of the trade, tar- 

 nations are none too plentiful as yet, 

 but the quality is improving. A few 

 mums are to be had. 



Club Meeting. 



The Tri-City Florists' Club met at 

 the residence of Julius Staack, Moline, 

 111., October 9, with a good attendance. 



The topic of the evening was pre- 

 sented by W. C. Wilson, who chose as 

 his subject "Hardy Native Shrubs." 

 The talk proved to be one of the best 

 so .far. He gave a descriptive list of 

 such plants, their beauty and uses, that 

 was instructive and showed keen obser- 

 vation on his part and that also brought 

 out the fact that such plants are com- 

 paratively little used in our parks and 

 landscape work. 



The November meeting will be held 

 at the residence of C. O. E. Boehm, 

 Davenport. The date is to be an- 

 nounced later. There will be no con- 

 flict with the dates of the fall show of 

 the Iowa State Society at Des Moines 

 November 12 to 15. 



Supper was served and a vote of 

 thanks was given Mr. and Mrs. Julius 

 Staack for their hospitality. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Staack & Sons, Moline, are 

 putting in two refrigerating rooms of 

 tile and concrete construction and will 

 install an artificial cooling plant as soon 

 as possible. 



Henry I'auli, Davenport, has let a 

 contract for an up-to-date refrigerating 

 machine for immediate delivery.
