The Tri-City Florists' Club held its regular meeting on November 10 at the conservatories of Central park, Daven- port, and it was one of the best meetings of the year. As the chrysanthemum season was at its height the session was naturally devoted to the study of that flower. Superintendent Arp and Emil Boehn, florist at Central park, both gave interesting talks on chrysanthemums. The talks were followed by a general discussion, which was participated in by nearly all members present and a number of fine points were brought out. Super- intendent A. Arp had on exhibition a large handsome vase of chrysanthemums which contained fifty diflerent varieties; the smallest bloom measured six inches in diameter, and the largest—well! After the meeting and the inspecting of the conservatories the florists sat down to a light luncheon and enjoyed an hour or so in a social way. The next meeting of the club will be held at Odd Fellows hall, Davenport, on December 8, when the question of holding a flower show next season will come up, John Temple came limpinginto the meet- ing the other evening, having sprained his ankle a day or so before. But Uncle gets there just the same, he would be on hand if he had to be carried there in a stretcher; wish all members were as prompt. The weather has been more like sum- mer lor the past few weeks than like fall —thermometer up to near 60° almost every day, with plenty of suushine. Busi- ness is brisk and everything points to a good business this coming winter. Henry Pauli had an exciting runaway one day recently. Fortunately no dam- age was done and Henry escaped with but few bruises, having been dragged across the pavement for almost a block. Otto Klingbiel, who sufiered several days from having a box fall on his head while down in the boiler hole shoveling coal, is able to be around again. Ewoldt Brothers
