The WeeMy Florists' Review. 



OCTOBER 11, 1900. 



OMAHA. 



The way trade is improving in 

 Omaha is certainly very gratifying. 

 The last two weelis, including Ak Sar 

 Ben week, stock has been sold right 

 up to the limit. 



Ak Sar Ben week, especially, was 

 good, with the country people buying 

 plants and the grand ball on Friday, 

 for which Beauties were in great de- 

 mand. After they were gone people 

 took anything they could lay their 

 hands on. One store, after the day's 

 sales, had two measley roses left to 

 tell the tale. 



The variable weather has made the 

 stock quite scarce, making an occa- 

 sional shipment from elsewhere neces- 

 sary. 



Beauties have fallen off to an ex- 

 tent, but promise to come in better 

 shape soon. Other roses. Golden 

 Gates in particular, are making a 

 steady Improvement. Carnations are 

 getting good and some are of good 

 length. Crane and Jubilee have the 

 lead at present, with Hill next. 



The cool nights have brought the 

 violets into shape and some good 

 blooms are seen. 



A. Donaghue, Jr., is showing some 

 very good Golden Gates. 



Peterson Bros, are cutting a number 

 of very good Brides. J. H. B. 



TOLEDO, O. 



A new organization ha.'; been formed 

 at the Lincoln Club, which ought to 

 give a new boom to the carnation in- 

 dustry. It is to be called the "Pink 

 Carnation Club," and out of compli- 

 ment to Mr. McKinley. whose favor- 

 ite flower is said to be the pink car- 

 nation, the members of the club pro- 

 pose to wear a specimen of this 

 beauty ever day until the presidential 

 election. 



Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Schmidt, who a 

 few months ago lea.sed their East 

 Broadway greenhouse property to Mr. 

 Theo. Helbing, this week brought suit 

 in ejectment against the lessee claim- 

 ing violation of contract. The de- 

 fendant claims that the owners merely 

 want to get possession of the green- 

 houses to run it themselves, and pro- 

 pose to fight the matter to a finish. 



The Kruger Bros., of the East Side, 

 have made a substantial addition to 

 their plant in the shape of a roomy 

 new house, which they will fill with 

 chrysanthemums. 



Mr. Schramm, the Cherry street flor- 

 ist, has just completed successfully the 

 difficult feat of lowering the brick 

 wall of his main house 18 inches. 



Mrs. H. A. Mills, who was taken vio- 

 lently ill at a meeting of her society 

 a few evenings ago, is recovering 

 slowly. B. 



KALAMAZOO. MICH.— Calvin Rice, former- 

 ly with Van Bochove Bros., has gone to 

 Minneapolis to take charge of the wholesale 

 store recently opened there by Brant & Noe.
