FOLEY GREENHOUSES 



I 



Built for J. W. Bettendorf 9 Bettendorf , Iowa 



WITHOUT doubt this is one of the finest greenhouses in the West, and its setting on the top of the river-bank bluflf is 

 ideal. 



The house is divided into three compartments, the middle one of which, forty feet square, is used fpr palms. Miscellaneous 

 stock is grown in the end compartments. 



Rising majestically from the top of the bluff, this house, with its vitrified red brick foundation and service building, makes a 

 fitting crown to the wonderfully attractive estate.

The Market. 



The market conditions are about nor- 

 mal, with prices showing a slight de- 

 crease, while business for the month of 

 July was substantially above that of a 

 year ago. Asters have taken the place 

 of carnations and are arriving in good 

 quantity and quality, bringing $2 to $4 

 per hundred. Gladioli are in good sup- 

 ply at $3 to $8 per hundred. Boses are 

 in excess of demand and have a wide 

 range at $1 to $20 per hundred. 



Horticultural Society. 



Under the guidance of Superintend- 

 ent of Parks Fred C. Greece, members 

 of the Rhode Island Horticultural So- 

 ciety, August 9, made an extensive trip 

 through the nurseries and gardens of 

 Eoger Williams park, after which the 

 society met in a short business session 

 and elected twenty-five new members. 



The party of sixty members and 

 guests was conducted through the ever- 

 green exhibits and the Arnold Arbore- 

 tum, a collection of herbaceous plants 

 imported from China by the well- 

 known collector, E. H. Wilson. The 

 excursion through the park was espe- 

 cially interesting to the horticulturists, 

 since there are many exhibits there 

 which may not be seen in any other 

 park in the country. 



Various Notes. 



The What Cheer Wire Works, 157 

 Dorranee street, is owned by Walter E. 

 Bums and Wilver A. Foss, according to 

 their statement filed in the city clerk's 

 office.
