Tri-cities Gossip. 



At the regular meeting of the Tri-Cities 

 Florists' Club at the residence of John 

 Staack, September 9, Wm. Knees, of Mo- 

 line, who had just returned from a three 

 months' vacation trip to Germany, gave 

 an interesting talk. J. T. Temple told 

 of his trip to the convention at Cincinnati 

 and also of the Iowa state fair at Des 

 Moines, which was also of interest. Mr. 

 Temple always has a new story to tell. 



Henry Gaethje, Jr., celebrated the first 

 anniversary of his marriage September 9 

 and a good time was had. Mr. Gaethje 

 is now in his father's store in the ab- 

 sence of Miss Jones, who is in California. 



The drought in this section has been 

 broken, but not until a great deal of 

 damage to plant life was done. Asters 

 suffered severely and are now nearly gone. 



Business in the three cities of Moline, 

 Davenport and Rock Island has been 

 quiet, owing to the dry spell, but shows 

 signs of improvement as autumn ap- 

 proaches. Carnations are scarce. Roses 

 are of fair quality and in moderate de- 

 mand. 



Harry Bills, of the Bills Floral ,Co., 

 Davenport, is finishing glazing the houses 

 shattered by hail this summer. He has 

 also torn down some old houses and re- 

 built them. 



Ewoldt Bros., of Davenport, have made 

 some extensive repairs this summer. They 

 have cut some early mums that were fine. 



The government bridge between Rock 

 Island and Davenport is closed for three 

 weeks for repairs, making it necessary for 

 all traffic to cross on the ferry. This is 

 expensive and inconvenient for all flo- 

 rists, as well as others. 



Ludwig Stapp has a fine new Haines 

 auto. 



The next meeting of the Tri-Cities Flo- 

 rists' Club will be held at the residence 

 of Henry Gaethje, Sr., South Eock Is- 

 land, October 14. The topic for discus- 

 sion on that evening will be ' ' Fuel. ' ' 



H.M. 



BOANOKB, Va. — Arrangements were re- 

 cently made for the sale and removal of 

 the McGehee greenhouses, so as to make 

 room for the erection of a depot. 



SOUTHINGTON, CoNN. — Philip Lunden, 

 who introduced something new in the 

 line ot pets a few weeks ago, is mourning 

 his loss. Its name was "Ziz" and it 

 was a twelve-inch rattlesnake, which Mr. 

 Lnnden had caught on West . moun- 

 tain. It had refused to eat since its 

 capture. Mr. Lunden is a member of 

 the firm of Olson & Lunden, the much 

 alive and strictly up-to-date florists of 

 this city and Plantsville.

You can't form any conception of what 

 a l-Bar is by seeing it from the outside. 



It is the inside that shows up the bubble-like U-Bar construc- 

 tion. At first you may wonder how so light a construction can 

 be 80 durable and so rigid. It is because of the steel casing of 

 the roof bar, which gives both strength to the frame and a perfect 

 protection to the bar. No house is as free from exposed parts 

 of wood, none so thoroughly takes care of all condensation. To 

 cap the climax, there is no hou»e that can equal it for growing. 

 Don't take our say eo about it, aek any gardener who has 

 worked or is working in a U-Bar house.
