Various Notes. 



The wholesale establishment of L. 

 Stapp, of Rock Island, was a busy place 

 Thursday and on Christmas morning, 

 getting out the many orders that had 

 been received previously. The weather 

 being good and other ' conditions also 

 good, Mr. Stapp was well stocked in 

 roses, carnations, hyacinths and azaleas, 

 which were all disposed of. The demand 

 was greater than the supply, the goods 

 being mostly disposed of in the Tri- 

 Cities. 



Henry Gaethje, of Rock Island, reports 

 a fine business, both in cut flowers and 

 blooming plants, with prices good. 

 Rumor also has it that he will again be 

 made happy on New Year's eve, when 

 Mr. and Mrs. Gaethje 's only daughter, 

 Anna, is to be married — the second wed- 

 ding in the family within a year, Henry 

 Gaethje, Jr., having been married during 

 the summer. 



William Knees, of Moline, says he had 

 a fine Christmas business, disposing of 

 everything he had at good prices. He 

 had an especially fine lot of poinsettias, 

 which sold like hot cakes. 



Julius Staack & Sons, of Moline, re- 

 port an exceptionally fine Christmas 

 trade, especially in blooming plants, such 

 as azaleas, begonias, poinsettias, etc. 



The Bills Floral Co., of Davenport, re- 

 ports having a better trade than last 

 year, with prices equally good. The large

 and 1 o'clock, both at the store and 

 greenhouses. The weather was fine for 

 delivery, making the work easier anti 

 quicker. 



J. T. Temple, of Davenport, says 

 Christmas business was fine. 



Henry Pauli, of Davenport, claims his 

 business was double that of last year. 

 He had a fine lot of azaleas, poinsettias, 

 Easter lilies, etc., and sold them out. 

 Cut flowers, also, sold well, with prices 



from 75 cents to $1.50 for carnations, 

 and $1.50 to $2 for roses. 



Ewoldt Bros., of Davenport, also re- 

 port a most prosperous Christmas trade. 

 They disposed of 2,000 white chrysanthe- 

 mums, which heretofore have not been 

 available at Christmas, besides the usual 

 cut flowers and blooming plants. They 

 also say that in about ten days they will 

 have some more mums in bloom, not
