TRI-QTIES. 



Cftfrent Comment. 



The Tri-Cities experienced one of the 

 /* most sudden drops of the temperature 

 Tuesday morning, February 9, that have 

 been known hereabouts. It fell 15 de- 

 grees in one hour. 



H. H. Hensley, of Kock Island, has 

 purchased the half interest of his partner, 

 Mr. Khodes, in the Long View Floral Co., 

 and will hereafter conduct the business 

 himself under the same name. 



The Tri-City Florists' Club held its 

 regular monthly meeting at the home of 

 Henry Gaethje, Sr., in South Eock Is- 

 land, Thursday evening, February 11, 

 and when President Knees called the 

 meeting to order nearly all members were 

 present. A letter from Adolph Arp, now 

 of Meridian, Miss., but formerly of Dav- 

 enport, la., and a charter member of the 

 club, was read with interest. In the let- 

 ter Mr. Arp stated he intended to make 

 Meridian his future home, and the club 

 forthwith made him an honorary member. 



The annual banquet of the club was 

 decided to be held at the Outing Club, 

 Davenport, March 25, and will be at- 

 tended by the florists and their wives, em- 

 ployees and a few intimate friends. After 

 the luncheon at 7 p. m., the rest of the 

 - evening will be made merry by dancing 

 and entertainment. 



The topic of discussion for the evening 

 was, ' ' Does It Pay to Invest in t Jie New- 

 est Novelties in Rooted Cuttings?" The 

 subject was a good one and was well 

 talked over, and the consensus of opinion 

 was that it does not pay the small com- 

 mercial florist until the varieties have 

 been thoroughly tested and proven good. 



The next regular meeting of the club 

 will be held at Davenport, la., the exact 

 place as yet not having been selected. 

 OflScers for the following year will be 

 nominated and elected. 



After the adjournment of the meeting, 

 refreshments were served. H. M.

Ask Any U-Bar Gardener 



Don't take our say-so, but letua give you a list of the houses 

 we have erected and then go visit some of them— see for 

 yourself — get the other fellow's point of view — find out 

 what a house that is one-third lighter means in increased 

 blooms, improved quality and finish of fruit, etc. We will 

 send one of our catalogs along with the list, so you can 

 look it over after you get back.
