Various Notes. 



The past two weeks have kept the 

 retailers very busy indeed. The demand 

 was principally for funeral flowers. 

 Owing to the extreme heat a large num- 

 ber of people were sent to the hospitals, 

 and large quantities of flowers with 

 them. 



The writer was often amused and 

 sometimes annoyed at the ignorance dis- 

 played by customers who demanded flow- 

 ers, during a spell of extreme heat, as 

 good as those to be had at any other 

 season. I find that these are the people 

 that never buy flowers when there is a 

 profit in them. 



Prices at present are about as low 

 as they ever get, being as follows: 

 Roses, 50 to 75 cents per doz. : Beauties, 

 $1 to $2.50; carnations, 25 to .30 cents; 

 gladiolus, 75 cents to $1. Sweet peas 

 are about gone; tuberoses are in, but 

 asters have not yet made their appear- 

 ance. 



All those who attended the last meet- 

 ing of the Nebraska Florists' Society en- 

 joyed themselves immensely. At the 

 bowling competition Messrs. Hess, Hen- 

 derson and Floth easily excelled. The 

 first two named will be the only ones 

 representing our society at the conven- 

 tion. 



A. Donaghue, Sr., has left for a six- 

 weeks' trip to England and will take 

 in BuflTalo on his return. 



A. Donaghue, Jr., has returned from 

 his fishing trip at Dixon's Beach, Lake 

 Okoboji, low-a. 



S. B. Stewart and wife have also re- 

 turned from a week's outing. 



W. .J. Hesser, of Plattsmouth, was in 

 tlie city recently. Scribbler.

Various Items. 



Trade conditions remain about the 

 same as last week. There is, however, a 

 slight increase in the number of asters 

 coming in. A few, that are beginning 

 to look like something, bring $2 per 100; 

 others from 50 cents to $1. 



Outdoor stock is considerably im- 

 proved owing to the fact that the hot. 



diy spell has at last been broken and 

 we are now having weather that is all 

 tliat could be desired, as to temperature. 

 The one heavy rain that we had did a 

 wonderful lot of good ; but the ground is 

 again very dry and a good soaking rain 

 is much needed. 



The board of public service has adopted 

 the plans of Park Superintendent B. P. 

 Critchell for the improvement of that 

 piece of barren land of about five acres 

 to the east of Eden Park and at the 

 font nf the elifl". The improvement will 

 ii'ii-i-i of driveways, walks, and a lake 

 III 111. router. As this spot has been 

 :iii iM-ore for many years the improve- 

 ment will be greatly appreciated. The 

 stretch of land on Gilbert avenue oppo- 

 site Eden Park is also to be improved. 



During a severe wind storm the smoke- 

 stack on the establishment of George 

 Murphy blew down, smashing in about 

 fifteen "feet of one of his houses. 



Fishing in the Ohio is a favorite sport 

 with the boys. They generally take a 

 couple of days oflf and with tent, lines, 

 etc., camp out along the bank and have 

 a good quiet rest. 



Huntsman & Co. have moved from 

 their li.iee street store and are now to be 

 found on East Sixth near Walnut. 



Gns Adrian will be unable to go to 

 BuH'alo for the convention. He fell into 

 a boiler pit and sprained an ankle. It 

 is t'i Up hoped that his injury is not a 

 sfMii' iiii-. lli> wife, together with a 

 pam ot trjiii,!-. will start for the Rain- 

 bow' lity this week. 



Charlie Jones and wife, with a party 

 of friends, left Saturday for Buffalo. 

 Charlie will be in Buffalo during the 

 convention. 



E. G. Gillett left for the convention 

 Tuesday night and R. Witterstaetter and 

 Dock Sunderbruch Monday night. By 

 the wa.y, don't fail to ask Dock how 

 he enjoyed his railroad ride. 



C. J. Ohmer. 



DALLAS, TEXAS. 



Various Items. 



At last a good rain has broken the 

 long dry spell and all nature looks fresh 

 again. 'Field-grown >tuff looks well con- 

 sidering the lack of lain: . :irii:it ifiiis were 

 planted early, and had iiia.lo a good 

 growth, and now arc strong, rugged 

 plants; roses and other plants look fair- 

 ly well. All hands are busy throwing 

 out old carnations, whitewashing, paint- 

 ing and getting the houses in first-class 

 order for the new crop, which we expect 

 to commence planting in a week or so. 

 We plant the early sorts first, following 

 with the later sorts in about two weeks. 

 Mums are looking well. Our open-house 

 .system of culture is the proper thing 

 here, and the stock is now fast climbing 

 up the stay strings. We expect to have 

 some flowers, such as our old friend 

 Theo. Bock calls "goot oons." Store busi- 

 ness is on the dull order, but a good run 

 of funeral work and a wedding now and 

 then keeps the boys from getting sleepy. 



Jlr. Nicholson, of the Texas Seed & 

 Floral Company, is enjoying a trip to 

 the north;, Chicago and Michigan being 

 his objective points. He said in taking 

 leave he was going up north to get warm, 

 and I guess he will get there, for, judg- 

 ing from the daily report of the ther- 

 mometer, you fellows up north are hav- 

 ing hotter weather than we Texans.
