The Weekly Florists' Review.

TRI-QTIES. 



The Market. 



Business is rather brisk at present, 

 9,nd flowers are scarce. The scarcity, 

 however, is largely due to the dark 

 weather. 



Qttb Meeting. 



'The Tri-City Florists' Club held its 

 regular meeting Thursday evening, Janu- 

 ary 14, at the Davenport Outing Club, 

 and the attendance was good, all the 

 regular members being present. Presi- 

 dent William Knees was in the chair and 

 J. T. Temple was on duty as correspond- 

 ing secretary. 



The club was in receipt of a letter from 

 A. W. Van de Veer, acknowledging his 

 election as the first honorary member of 

 the club. E. C. Eohlfs, of the Alta Vista 

 Nursery, of Davenport, was elected a 

 member. 



The president appointed a committee, 

 composed of two members from Daven- 

 port, one from Bock Island and one from 

 Moline, to arrange for the regular ban- 

 quet of the club, to be held sometime in 

 March. A committee on nomination was 

 also appointed, to submit names of of- 

 ficers for another year at the next regular 

 meeting. 



The topic for discussion was "Fer- 

 tilizers and Their Uses," and it may be 

 truthfully said that the subject was well 

 aired. T. Ewoldt had an especially com- 

 prehensive and instructive paper. 



The club will hold its next regular 

 meeting at the residence of Henry 

 Gaethje, in Rock Island, February 11. 



After adjournment of the club, J. T. 

 Temple invited the members to the din- 

 ing room, where the steward of the Out- 

 ing Club house had a fine lunch pre- 

 pared. Mr. Temple had the table deco- 

 rated in up»to-date style. Af te^ enjoying 

 the repast and telling a few good 

 stories, all left for their homes, feel- 

 ing well repaid for having attended the 

 meeting. 



Julius Staack, St., of Moline, is' re- 

 ported on the sick list. H. M. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



Another week of spring weather in thef 

 middle of January has been pushing' 

 every plant into bloom, and business also 

 has been advanced at the markets. The 

 last two winters have been very mild and 

 that is not exactly what the florists want 

 to create a lively demand for stock when 

 the season opens. But February is not 

 past and we must not lose hope yet. 



T. Shalk, for several years with J. A. 

 Schindler & Co., has left his position. 



J. Eehfeld, on Bienville avenue, lost 

 his wife last week. M. M. L.

Somethiog About Roses in D-Bar Houses 



Time and again gardeners have told us that they have less trouble 

 with their roses when grown in a U-Bar houee. Mildew more easily 

 prevented and all that sort of thing. 



Whether this is because of the increased lightness, the under-bench 

 ventilation or the perfect system of heating, we are not wise enough 

 to say, but suspect all three have to do with it. However, the fact 

 is established, as results have proven, and results are what you want 

 a greenhouse for. Send for fully illustrated catalog and know why 

 it is also the most enduring construction. 



The ideal construction for private estates, parks, 

 public institotioDS and florists' show rooms.
