DAVENPORT, lA. 



The Tri-City Florists' Association at 

 its regular meeting March 12 at Fejer- 

 vary park elected the following officers 

 for the coming year: President, John 

 Temple, Davenport; vice-president for 

 Davenport, Harry Bills; vice-president 

 for Rock Island, Henry Gaethje; 

 vice-president for Moline, William 

 Knees; secretary, H. G. Bryant, of Dav- 

 enport; financial secretary, Theo. 

 Ewoldt, of Davenport; trustees, Henry 

 Pauli, Ed Totter and Julius Staack. 



Peter Becker, of Moline, was elected 

 to membership in the association. Dur- 

 ing the business session it was decided 

 to raise the yearly dues of the associa- 

 tion from $2 to $4. 



The program consisted of an inter- 

 esting and instructive paper sent by 

 Louis Wittbold, of Chicago, on "Me- 

 chanical Watering for Greenhouses," 

 and a general discussion of the subject 

 "Would the Parcels Post Benefit the 

 Small Dealer and In What Way?" 



At the conclusion of the program re- 

 freshments were served. 



TERRE HAUTE, IND. 



A company has been incorporated 

 with $20,000 capital for the wholesale 

 growing of roses and carnations. Dr. 

 Edward Eeiss is president and general 

 manager; Judge C. M. Fortune, secre- 

 tary and treasurer. Henry Kranzke, 

 florist for the Sisters of Providence of 

 St. Mary's, will be grower. Three 

 greenhouses will be built in the vicinity 

 of Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street, 

 where ground has already been procured. 



Mr. Kranzke has had thirty years' ex- 

 perience in growing roses and carna- 

 tions in this country and in Europe. 

 It is the intention to grow only roses 

 and carnations at first, but in a year or 

 so add the growing of violets and chrys- 

 anthemums for the wholesale trade only. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Snow every day from Sunday until 

 Saturday and the rhost disagreeable 

 weather we have experienced this winter 

 has not helped business any and, as a 

 result, stock of most kinds accumulated 

 with the wholesalers. This was es- 

 pecially true of violets, as it seems they 

 are the only flowers worn on the street 

 in this city, and when we have such 

 weather as the past week brought us the 

 violet feels it most. 



Variotsi Notes. 



Geo. L. Huscroft, lanascape garaener 

 for the Pan Handle Railroad between 

 Pittsburg and Columbus, went over the 

 road last week in a special train with a 

 number of the officials, getting a line 

 on the work at the various stations for 

 the coming spring. Most of their work 

 was done in a violent snow storm, but 

 arrangements had been made some time 

 before and they could not stop for the 

 snow. The Pan Handle is giving more 

 attention each year to beautifying the 

 stations, and Mr. Huscroft is the right 

 man in the right place. 



Phil Langhans, secretary of the Pitts- 

 burg Cut Flower Co., recently visited 

 Jos. E. Bonsall, Salem, O., who is one 

 of the growers who supplies the Cut 

 Flower Co. with summer stock, lilies, 

 roses, etc. He was much pleased with 

 the appearance of his houses and the 

 stock in them, which is grown without 

 artificial heat. There is a range of con- 

 nected houses, about 45,000 square feet, 

 and the glass is a very heavy, 3-6-inch 

 ribbed glass which he had never seen 

 used before for greenhouse purposes. 



John Wyland (Uncle John), of Alli- 

 son Park, is to add a range of new 

 houses the coming summer for carna- 

 tions. Uncle .John has been one of the 

 successful growers and, like all the 

 others, talks about getting out of the 

 business with one breath and lets a con- 

 tract for more houses with the next. 



If Pittsburg keeps on building she 

 will soon be independent of outside 

 growers for her stock; so far this season 

 we have: South View Floral Co., range 

 of six houses for cut flowers; Pittsburg 

 Rose & Carnation Co., three or four 

 houses, 450 square feet, for cut flowers; 

 John L. Wyland, a block of houses for 

 cut flowers. No doubt there are, or will 

 be, others by the time spring comes. 



I have heard repeatedly that the thing 

 we most need in this vicinity is a man 

 who will put up a block of houses within 

 easy reach of the city, to grow ferns, 

 palms and blooming plants for the holi- 

 days. Of course, we have men here who 

 do this now, but it is generally concede^ 

 that this is the branch of the business 

 in which there is the best opening and, 

 as the demand is constantly growing, 

 there will be money for the man who 

 starts at once. 



E. C. Ludwig, who some time ago 

 bought a property on East Diamond 

 street, and put it in shape for a store 

 and home, is now having trouble with 

 himself, as some real estate people want 

 his building and are willing to pay a 

 nice advance in price to get it, but 

 Ernest cannot make up his mind to part 

 with his home, even at a good profit. 



HOO-HOO. 



Lincoln, Nebr. — M. E. Wright has re- 

 moved here from Humphrey, Nebr., and 

 is now foreman at Hurlburt's Nurseries.
