The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



not handsome, but it "got there just 

 the same." 



The rest of the Horticultural build- 

 ing is full of fruit exhibits, most of the 

 western states being represented, and 

 California, of course, leading by a 

 large majority. 



The nurserymen's convention is over. 

 The attendance was not large — about 

 liKj — and the "business" was all ex- 

 tracted in one day. The rain and the 

 exposition were too much for them; 

 but while it lasted the meeting was a 

 very interesting one. The mayor gave 

 a very humorous and patriotic address, 

 giving the members his telephone 

 number and the "freedom of the 

 town," which is what he will tell the 

 florists when they come: and Omaha 

 is a "warm" town, no matter what th'.- 

 weather is, though even that climbs up 

 to 110 degrees in the shade occasion- 

 ally. 



The nurserymen discussed ( and 

 cussed) the San Jose scale, and talked 

 earnestly about foreign avoidance of 

 duties on imported nui-sery stock and 

 the necessity of a retaliatory protec- 

 tive tariff. 



Prof. S. M. Emery, of Montana, de- 

 livered a very fine address on the cli- 

 mate, wonderful fertility, and immense 

 orchards of his state, and the benefits 

 of irrigation, painting with roseate 

 hues the prospects and future of his 

 adopted home, and dilating eloquently 

 upon the snow-topped mountains, the 

 salubrious air and the glorious appe- 

 tite to be there enjoyed. 



Exhibits were made by the Dayton 

 Fruit Tree Label Co., Dayton; Vreden- 

 burg & Co., and the Rochester Litho- 

 graph Co., Rochester; Joseph Heinl, 

 Jacksonville, III., Swedish and Irish 

 junipers; P. J. Berkmans, Augusta, 

 Ga., conifers, and others. The officers 

 elected for the ensuing year were Hon. 

 A. L. Brooks, Topeka, Kas., president; 

 E. Albertson, Indiana, vice-president; 

 Geo. E. Seager, Rochester, secretary; 

 C. L. Yates. Rochester, treasurer. 



The convention of l.*f'!i will be held 

 in Chicago. 



At a practice game of the Omaha 

 Bowling Club Saturday evening, June
