J. F. Ammann, Edwin Denker, Henry 

 Johan, E. W. Guy, H. Jennemann and 

 Pierre Schneider were the oiit-of-towu 

 members present at the club meeting last 

 week. 



The School of Horticulture, which 

 closed its season last week, distributed 

 over $50 in prizes among the students. 

 Walter J. Stevens made the closing ad- 

 dress. 



Fred C. Weber has daily one of the 

 prettiest and most attractive show win- 

 dows among the west end florists. 



A. Jablonsky, of Central, is now cut- 

 ting a fine lot of carnations and roses. 

 His cut will be extra large this season. 



The force at C. A. Kuehn's reports a 

 steady increase of shipping orders. 

 Chrysanthemums are selling well, which 

 has a tendency to crowd the roses and 

 carnations to lower prices. 



The Michel Plant and Bulb Co. held 

 an auction sale recently at the Magnolia 

 avenue greenhouses, at which the sur- 

 plus stock in palms, rubbers and ferns 

 was disposed of. 



The Missouri Botanical Garden will 

 again hold a free chrysanthemum show. 

 Prof. Trelease reports that he thinks the 

 plants will be in shape to give the ex- 

 hibition the week of November 4. If 

 not, the show will be held the second 

 week of November. J. J. B.

The Market. 



MOLINE, ILL. 



The Tri-City Florists' Association held 

 its monthly meeting October 10, with 

 William Knees, of South Moline. There 

 was a full attendance and one of the 

 best meetings of the year took place. The 

 topics up for discussion were "Shrubs 

 and Trees Best Suited for Private Use ' ' 

 and "Street Plants." After the discus- 

 sion supper was served and a social en- 

 joyed. The next meeting will be at the 

 home of Superintendent Boehm, of Cen- 

 tral park, Davenport, and the subject will 

 be " Chrysanthemums. ' ' 



The Eeview will send Herrington'a 

 Chrysanthemum Book, with complete 

 cultural details, on receipt of 50 cents. 



' ' The frost is on the pumpkin ' ' again 

 and it has closed the aster and dahlia 

 season in a blaze of glory, for all the 

 leaves on all the trees are tinted with 

 the varied colors of the rainbow, and 

 the days of outdoor cut flower supplies 

 are practically at an end. 



Autumnal foliage has made the retail 

 windows of the city gorgeous in brilliant 

 coloring and with this as the background, 

 and with the grand chrysanthemums now 

 coming like a flood, j'ou can imagine, 



iraVERY now and then a well 

 Iii9 pleased reader speaks the word 

 which is the means of bringing a new 

 advertiser to

Such friendly assistance is thoroughly 

 appreciated.

 tiser. We especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florists' use

perhaps, how one may claim this as the 

 city beautiful. There is little change 

 in prices, but in quality of everything 

 there is a constant advance towards per- 

 fection. The chrysanthemum display, 

 especially, is more than was anticipated 

 in size and beauty. The wholesale win- 

 dows are filled with Polly Rose, Monrovia, 

 Mrs. Robinson, Pacific and all the early 

 popular varieties. Thousands of plants, 

 too, are for sale and for the present we 



may as well acknowledge chrysanthemum 

 is king. 



Beauties are beauties indeed, now, and 

 the best of them hold their top price 

 with ease. All roses have advanced in 

 value, if not in price, and there is ample 

 demand for the best of them, notwith- 

 standing the mum torrent that is pour- 

 ing in. While this lasts, steadiness is 

 all we can ask or hope for. 



The finest carnations sell at $4 per 

 hundred. 



Orchids have been in good demand, 

 owing to the increase in bon-ton wed- 

 dings and the return of society folks to 

 town. The call from other cities is per- 

 sistent and growing daily. ' Valley is 

 abundant, but the Schultheis and Sie- 

 brecht brand finds a ready sale. The 

 time has come to consider the lilies. The 

 supply is insufficient and values are ris- 

 ing. 



Cosmos was never better. Great masses 

 of it filled one of Small 's mndows 

 October 14, the other still attractive with 

 its great display of water lilies. 



Violets begin to look natural and the 

 time has at last arrived when common- 

 sense coupled with experience indicates 

 the wisdom of shipments. Good selected 

 flowers are worth 50 cents per hundred 

 and so on down to where the street mer- 

 chants have their say, and that is law, 

 for the inferior and left-over supplies. 



Qub Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the Florists' 

 Club October 14 was a most interesting 

 occasion, seventy-five members being pres- 

 ent. President Totty in the chair. L. S. 

 Dickinson, Frank Duggan and Leonard 

 Barron were elected to membership and 

 Mr. Schaefer was proposed. Several 

 changes in the by-laws were made, the 

 most important estabKshing a life mem- 

 bership at a cost of $75. 



The exhibits were numerous and great- 

 ly" admired. Robert Scott & Son, of 

 Sharon Hill, Pa., exhibited their new 

 rose, Mrs. Jardine, a brilliant pink of 

 splendid substance and size, given a pre- 

 liminary certificate. Fred Hollender, of 

 Ozone Park, contributed a dozen dahlias 

 assorted, awarded honorable mention. H. 

 Beaulieu, of Woodside, showed a plant 

 of variegated nasturtium, given a vote of 

 thanks. Arthur T. Boddington staged a 

 grand vase of the new cosmos, Lady Len-
