DAVENPORT, lA. 



The Tri-City Florists' Association met 

 at tiie greenhouse of Harry Bills, on 

 North Brown street, December 13, and 

 an interesting session was held, there 

 being a large attendance. The advisa- 

 bility of organizing a horticultural soci- 

 ety in the tri-cities was discussed, and 

 it was the opinion of the members that 

 such a society would be a good thing. 

 The society would consist of laymen or 

 parties not engaged in the profession. 

 The Horticultural Society of Chicago 

 gives the big flower show there every 

 year, in charge of the florists of the 

 city. 



The questions which were up for gen- 

 eral discussion at the meeting were 

 * ' Roses and their propagation ' ' and 

 "Which are the most profitable bulbs, 

 and their culture." It was also decided 

 to adopt a question box, in which any 

 one, not only members, but laymen as 

 •well, may drop in any question relating 

 to floriculture which may come to their 

 notice. 



The program committee reported and 

 gave the outline of the program for 

 every month of the ensuing year. The 

 topics which will be taken up during 

 1907 are as follows: 



January — "What are the most profitable plants 

 to grow for Kaster trade?" 



February — "The maklnj; and care of hotbeds. 

 Does It pay to make hotbeds? What are the 

 best plants to grow In hotbeds?" 



March — "How is the best way to beautify 

 cities, their lots, boulevards and public places?" 



April — "What are the mo«t profitable plants 

 to grow for spring trade?" 



May — "Peony culture — What are the best 

 kinds to grow for cut flowers? Does it pay to 

 grow perennials for cut flowers?" 



June — "Rose culture — What are the best 

 varieties to grow for the summer months, for 

 the winter months? Does It pay to grow roses 

 out-of-dooors?" 



July — "Greenhouse construction — Best mate- 

 rial for benches. Which is better for heating, 

 steam or hot water?" 



August — "Carnation culture — Wliat are the 

 best varieties to grow? Does it pay to grow 

 carnations for out-of-door or siimmer blooming?" 



September — "What are the best plants to 

 grow for Christmas?" 



October — 'Ornamental tree and shrub culture 

 — Best trees and shrubs for private grounds- 

 Does It pay to grow hardy roses?" 



November — "Chrysanthemum culture — What 

 are the best varieties for commercial use, for 

 pot plants and for cut flowers?" 



December — "Heating greenhouses — What Is the 

 best and cheapest fuel? How is the best way 

 to decorate show windows?" 



Colorado Springs, Colo. — Wm. Henry 

 Evans, of the Pike's Peak Floral Co., 

 says business is excellent and that they 

 find themselves cleaned up every night. 

 They now have 85,000 square feet of 

 glass, all in cut flowers for wholesale.
