The Florists^ Review 



NOVEMBEB 20. 1919. 



DAVENPORT, R. ISIiAND, MOLINE. 



The Market. 



There was a decided improvement in 

 business last week. Chrysanthemums 

 in all sizes and colors took the lead and 

 pompons sold well. While there is an 

 abundance of stock of good quality, 

 there will be enough lute stock for the 

 Thanksgiving trade. Roses are none 

 too plentiful, Kussell being the leader 

 at present with other varieties in rather 

 short supply. Carnations are also on 

 the short side. Tliere are not enough 

 greens, smilax, plumosus, etc., for the 

 needs of the trade. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Tri-City 

 Florists' Club was lield at the residence 

 of C. O. E. Boehm, Davenport, Tuesday, 

 November 11. It was an afternoon 

 meeting. A tour of the Vanderveer 

 park conservatories showed the usual 

 high standard of flowers, of which there 

 were about 5,000 on exhibition; the ar- 

 rangement was particularly pleasing. 

 President Goos called the meeting to 

 order. In the absence of Secretary 

 Knees, the chair appointed W. C. Wil- 

 son secretary pro-tern. The names of 

 N. A. Larson and Victor DeLescaille, 

 of Davenport, were proposed for mem- 

 bership and a committee of recommen- 

 dation appointed in each case to report 

 at the next meeting. Chrysanthemums 

 were the topic of discussion presented 

 by Ludwig Stapp, whose talk proved 

 interesting and instructive. Then sup- 

 per was served. After extending a vote 

 of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Boehm for 

 their hospitality, the club adjourned to 

 meet at the residence of Joe Tuckis, 

 Thursday, December 11. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Staack is seriously ill with 

 typhoid pneumonia at his home. 



Mrs. P. G. Pearson is at a local hos- 

 pital suffering from a nervous break- 

 down, but shows improvement that 

 gives hopes of a speedy recovery. 



C. J. Reardon is in Des Moines at 

 present in charge of some landscape 

 work.
