The Florists^ Review 



Sbptsmbib 18, 1010. 



DAVENPORT, B. ISLAND, MOLINE. 



The Market. 



Business showed a marked improve- 

 ment last week; stock of all kinds 

 cleared up well and the stock on hand 

 in the stores is small. Eoses are in 

 short supply. Carnations, of which a 

 few were offered, are small and short of 

 stem. Gladioli of good quality are still 

 to be had. Asters are deteriorating, 

 though some good stock is to be seen. 

 Golden Glow chrysanthemums and ru- 

 brum lilies add variety. Garden flowers 

 are scarce, owing to the drought. 



Olub Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Tri-City 

 Florists' Club was held at the residence 

 of E. R. Patton, Davenport, with a good 

 attendance. The question of making a 

 showing at the Iowa state exhibition at 

 Des Moines in November was taken up, 

 and the interest shown by the members 

 speaks well for a good representation 

 at that time. 



C. H. Claussen and Miss M. A. Tier- 

 ney, both of Davenport, were elected 

 to membership. Supper was served and 

 was followed by a good social time. A 

 vote of thanks was extended to Mr. and 

 Mrs. Patton for their hospitality. The 

 club adjourned to meet October 9 at the 

 residence of John Staack, in Moline.

"Another great advantage in 

 the system i3 that in transplant-

 hot the sun or strong the wind, 

 by turning the Skinner System 

 on they will go through with 

 scarcely a check."

A Glazing Putty 

 of Real Value 



In all our experience and inrestigation 

 we had never found a preparation for 

 bulbing over the outside of a greenhouse 

 that was quite satisfactory, until we ran 

 across PERMANITE. This was about 

 four years ago. At that time we set about 

 investigating the merits of PERMANITE 

 and proceeded to watch the results of its 

 application to greenhouse roofs. 



Last year we were entirely convinced 

 of its high quality and durability, and ac- 

 cepted the western agency for the sale of 

 these goods. 



We applied PERMANITE to hundreds 

 of greenhouse roofs, over almost every 

 part of the United States. 



The results obtained were highly satis- 

 factory indeed. Glass roofs of all kinds, 

 both old and new, were made water-tight 

 and air-tight, saving thousands of plants 

 from being spoiled by water dripping on 

 them and saving many hundreds of tons of 

 coal by making the roofs proof against 

 the wind and storms of winter. 



We give PERMANITE our unqualified 

 endorsement and recommend it highly for 

 all kinds of glazing. 



We have a very large stock on hand 

 in our warehouse and can ship imme- 

 diately.
