The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JULY 21, isas. 



OMAHA, NEB. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Omaha Florists' Club was held on 

 Thursday evening. Subscriptions for 

 convention purposes wei-e made, com- 

 mittees appointed and a special meet- 

 ing called for Wednesday next, wMen 

 final arrangements will be sompleted. 



Mr. S. B. Stewart had a narrow es- 

 cape last week while avoiding a col- 

 lision, by jumping from the triin whila 

 it was in motion. He made a flying 

 leap that indicates first prize in the 

 jumping contest in August. 



A. Donaghue, Jr., has just given the 

 florists opportunity to call his father 

 grandpa. It is a beautiful baby girl. 



W. Attlee Burpee & Co.. of Philadel- 

 phia, are represented in Omaha at the 

 Exposition by B. F. Bell, of Waterloo, 

 Neb. Their second exhibit of sweet 

 peas is now on the table and consists 

 of 52 of the choicest varieties grown. 

 The plants were grown in J. C. Rob- 

 inson's gardens at Waterloo for Mr. 

 Burpee and do both the grower and 

 the seedsman very great credit. They 

 are a centre of attraction. 



For the comfort of mind of Bro. 

 Beneke and the St. Louis hustlers be 

 it known that the Omaha Bowling 

 Club has also commenced to roll on 

 some "hard alleys" and their first ex- 

 perience took quite a slice of conceit 

 out of their watermelon I .Tust to 

 show you what a "strange land" will 

 do, behold!

Perhaps the fact that they were roll- 

 ing the first of 15 games for a gold-

 their nervousness!

The Harrisii Disease 



can be prevented by immersing the bulbs 

 fortwohours in a half solution of 



..Kraft's Plant Tonic. 99°o 



This has been conclusively proven by experiment? at Lincoln Park. Chicago. The Tonic also 



kills Hard Shelled Scale, Mealy Bug", and other insect pests without injurv to the 



plant. A trial of a l''i-cent bottle will convince you that a really remarkable 



insecticide has been discovered. Send for circular.
