The Weekly Florists' Review* 



jANUAItY 16, 1902. 



OMAHA. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Omaha Florists' C^liib met in 

 monthly session in the park commis- 

 sioner's rooms, there being quite a good 

 representation of the craft present anil 

 a great interest taken in the proceed- 

 ings, as the talk of a banquet in the 

 near future was one of the main topics. 



John Bath read a very pointed and 

 concise paper on the handling of cut 

 flowers. This young man deserves cred- 

 it for his paper, which was well re- 

 ceived and showed careful thought. 



As the State Horticultural Society 

 holds its annual meeting in Lincoln, 

 many of the Omaha florists will attend, 

 being life members of this society and 

 interested in the premium list for plants 

 and cut flowers at the fall exhibit. 



Trade. 



The florists have gotten back to a 

 steady business again after their holiday 

 rush and trade is good. 



Bowling. 



It was decided to meet for bowling 

 every Tuesday evening in the future. Be- 

 low are the scores of this evening, the 

 florists adjourning to Gate City alleys 

 and hope in future to smoke cigars at 

 J. J. Hess' expense:

Club Entertainment. 



The Rhode Island Florists' and Gar- 

 deners' Club gave their annual supper, 

 and about thirty-five members and 

 friends were present. The committee ar- 

 rangements were superb. The newly in- 

 stalled president, Mr. M. Sweeney, filled 

 the chair to perfection and in a pleasinq; 

 speech introduced the toastmaster, W. E. 

 Cfhappell. Speeches were in order, ai" 

 two and one-half hours being the limit, 

 they were taken up with a vim. During 

 the evening the retiring president, Mr. 

 W. Hill, was presented with a silver- 

 mounted gavel on behalf of the cliib 

 ■which at once became priceless in his 

 hands. He returned thanks in a manner 

 in which only florists and gardeners can. 

 The results of the evening were some 

 six or eight new members. At a lato 

 hour overcoats were in order.
