The Weekly Florists' Review. 



AUGUST IG. 1900. 



OMAHA. 



Notes. 



Trade has picked up some the past 

 week and has been very good, but the 

 prospects for its remaining so are not 

 promising. 



Verv little good stock in the way of 

 roses is to be found in this vicinity. 

 Some Beauties are coming in, but the 

 quantity is limited. 



S. B. Stewart and wife have been 

 out to Honey Creek Lake for the last 

 two weeks, and in consequence Sam 

 has a nice brown skin. 



Miss Arnold, who has been ill, is now 

 able to be about again. B. 



The Florists' Club's Trip to Platlsmouth. 

 • The Omaha Florists' Club responded 

 to Mr. W. J. Hesser's invitation and 

 visited him at his home in Platls- 

 mouth, Tuesday, Aug. 7. The weather 

 was fine, and at 8:50 a. m. quite a 

 crowd had gathered at the depot, 

 where a special car. decorated with 

 palms and flowers, was waiting for us. 

 One hour later we were in Plattsmouth 

 and were cordially welcomed by Mr. 

 Hesser, and, after partaking of some 

 refreshments, we w-ere taken in car- 

 riages, through orchards, vineyards 

 and waving cornfields, to the palm 

 gardens and greenhouses. 



Mr. Hesser has, indeed, fine picnic 

 grounds, with its large orchard, its 

 zoological garden, in which -are alli- 

 gators, deer, squirrels, prairie dogs, 

 parrots etc.; its elegant shade and its 

 thousands of palms, ferns and other 

 tropical trees and plants. 



Down in a ravine is a flowing spring 

 where a hydraulic pump is kept con- 

 stantly going, supplying the tanks with 

 water. According to J. J. Hess, one 

 side of the spring is cold and the 

 other side warm. To prove it you 

 first try one side, then the other, and 

 by some automatic arrangement you 

 get a spray of crystal spring water full 

 in the face. 



The day was well spent, and we pro- 

 ceeded homeward after being shown 

 through one of the largest vineyards 

 in the state with a wine cellar 200 

 feet long, twenty-five feet below the 

 surface, and with a natural tempera- 

 ture of 45 degrees. This cellar is 

 filled with barrels of home-made wine 

 from seven to ten years old. But it 

 was too bad we were all temperance 

 (?) after seeing this grand cave. Still 

 we got home well and happy, and the 

 trip will long be remembered. L. H.
