. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 166 The American Florist. Aug. ^-Z.. Davenport, la. As the writer has only been in business for the past 15 years, lie has to rely on the word of the older men and on some rec- ords that are at hand. Twenty-five years ago Davenport was a lit- tle cotuntry village. Today she is one of the foremost cities of the state of Iowa with a population of nearly 55, 000 inhabitants. Twenty- five years ago there were three green- house establishments with about 15, - 000 feet of glass combined; today there are 12 greenhouse establishments each having from 2, 000 to 50, 000 square feet of glass, or about 250, 000 feet in all. John Temple has the distinction of being the oldest man in the business here, being the first now living to grow flowers under glass, and he is one of the best posted men on plants of all kinds in the United States. He was one of the organizers of the Society of American Florists, and contributed several articles for the first issue of the best florists' paper in the country —THE AMERICAN FLORIST—and has read every issue since. The progress in the growing of flowers has advanced in this city as fast as anywhere in the country. In fact, it has taken the lead in many instances. The first roses ever forced under glass, in any of the western cities were grown on the Dr. Kulp estate, and these were soon fol- lowed by Andy Bahr, J. Temple, Fred Bills and others, all of whom were leaders in their times in the growing of roses. In carnations and chrysan- themums Davenport florists have al- ways been up-to-date and some of the finest flowers grown anywhere are to be found at the different establish- ments in their season. Very fine flower shows have been held here in the past. Davenport has as fine a park system as any city of its size in the United States. The writer knows this is say- ing a great deal but we are always ready to show you, any time you should happen in this beautiful cit
