The Weekly Florists' Review. 



129 



Agricultural Building at the Omaha Exposition. 



in the direction of Lalie Geneva. Mr. 

 Winterson will report weekly to The 

 Review until he reaches Omaha. 



Mr. C. L. Washburn and family left 

 Tuesday evening on their Colorado 

 trip, it being their intention to stop 

 at Omaha for about a week. 



Mr. 0. W. Frese, with Mr. W. E. 

 Lynch, is on his way to Seattle, and 

 other points in the northwest. As he 

 is to be gone but three weeks he will 

 not likely come home a Klondike 

 king. 



Mr. Joy. of Joy & Son, Nashville, 

 Teun., was a recent visitor. 



Bowling. 



Last Friday was one of the hottest 

 days of the season but in spite of the 

 weather seven bowlers reported at the 

 alleys. Following are the scores and 

 averages: 



1st. 2nd. 3d. 4th. 5th. Av.

NEW YORK. 



Among the Wholesalers. 



Business is as low as the thermom- 

 eter is correspondingly high, with no 

 improvement in any lines. The fa- 

 vorable outlook for peace on account 

 of the many American victories has 

 acted somewhat as a stimulus to peo- 

 ple going abroad, and the steamer 



trade picked up slightly during the 

 middle of the week. 



There are practically no good roses, 

 and carnations are about the same as 

 last week, but of poorer quality. A 

 few asters have put in an appearance 

 and price realized is fail". The glut of 

 outside stock increases. 



Mr. E. Koffman opened his store 

 quietly last Friday. He will inaugu- 

 rate a new system of selling goods, 

 and we hope he will meet with suc- 

 cess. 



Seed and Bulb Trade. 



J. M. Thorlnirn & Co. have been 

 very busy during the past week mov- 

 ing part of their effects into their new 

 Cortlandt street store, and hope to he 

 fully settled in their new home by 

 the middle of the month. 



Mr. Arthur T. Boddington, of Clu- 

 cas & Boddington Co., has just re- 

 turned from a very successful bom- 

 bardment of the east, and with quite 

 a number of scalps. He, however, had 

 his "pants" shot away at the knees 

 and returned with a very striking 

 pair of golf stockings, that would ex- 

 cite the envy of an enthusiast in this 

 line. 



Flatbush Bowling Club. 



The above club had their regular 

 weekly "meet" last Thursday, and a 

 very jolly time resulted, as usual. 

 This night, however, several "recon- 

 centrados" who reside in New York 

 journeyed over just to get their hand 

 in for Omaha, and were given a great 

 reception. "Pots" (standard size) 



were won by the following; Eugene 

 Dailledouze, 187; David Y. Mellis, 170; 

 Lieut. Thomas Brennan. 201. Among 

 the "also rans" were: "Papa" Zeller 

 and "Young" Zeller, the other Daille- 

 douze brothers. Pat Reily. Billy Pros- 

 ser, John Cleary, Louie Schmutz and 

 Harry Bunyard. 



Last Auction Sale. 



The last auction sale of the season 

 took place last Tuesday at the mart of 

 Cleary & Co. and the result was very 

 satisfactory to the consignors. A very 

 general collection of orchids, palms, 

 etc., was offered and many well known 

 growers were represented both as buy- 

 ers and sellers. Taken as a whole the 

 auctions have panned out very well 

 though in some instances bedding 

 stock has not realized quite the prices 

 of former years. Palm stock has, how- 

 ever, done remarkably well. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Theodore H. Lang, the well 

 known Sixth Ave. florist, was married 

 last Wednesday to Miss Hetta Heintz. 

 The happy couple have gone on, an ex- 

 tended wedding trip. 



Mrs. Tumey, one of the best known 

 Harlem florists, died last Friday of con- 

 sumption, Mrs Tumey has had a store 

 at Willis Ave. and 149th St. tor nearly 

 ten years which she carried on very 

 successfully. 



The Bridgeman Floral Co. is setting 

 a good example by closing their store 

 at 6 o'clock every evening. Mr. Bridge- 

 man appreciates the fact that his em-
