The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



January 20, 1898. 



OMAHA. 



Trade Fair. 



All the florists report a goorl and steady 

 business, especially in funeral work. For 

 the last two weeks we have had nice 

 spring-like weather, which is helpful to 

 stock, although roses are somewhat 

 scarce. Carnations and violets are more 

 plentiful. Bulbous flowers are in large 

 supply and come handy for floral w^ork. 

 Cyclamen and primroses are showing up 

 well in most the florists' windows and are 

 reported to sell well. 



Rlr. R. I'njjer has closed his store on 

 Sixteenth street and intends to sell his 

 stock at wholesale. 



The Trans-Mississippi Fair -Association 

 intends to grow llieir own plants for the 

 grounds. They want to rent some houses 

 from a local florist, but the indications 

 are that they will erect new Imuses for 

 their own use. 



A Visit to Lincoln. 



Having visited Lincoln, Xeb., la.st 

 week, I called upon several florists, visit- 

 ing the storemen first. I first called on 

 Frey & Frey, and found their store well 

 stockeil with azaleas and palms. Mr. J. 

 B. Frey, of the above firm, reports a good 

 steady business. Calling upon C. H. 

 Frey, I found Mr. M. Frey had sold his 

 interest to Mr. A. Eidn, of Lincoln, who 

 has charge of the shipping department. 

 Mr. Eidn also reports trade good. Next I 

 called on Chapin Bros., who have a con- 

 servatory located in the most desirable 

 residence portion of the city, where thej' 

 carry on their retail business as well as 

 shipping department. Their greenhouses 

 are three miles southeast of Lincoln, and 

 found them in good condition, especially 

 their carnations and roses. 



C. H. Frey has a rangeof eleven houses 

 20x127 W'hich are all new and modern, 

 and every inch of space occupied by No. 

 I stock, which impresses the visitor with 

 an air of prosperity. 



Frey & Frey's greenhouses are located 

 nearer the city and were well stocked. 

 They have a house of Piaster lilies, as well 

 as a house of violets which show the skill 

 of the owners. 



A few blocks north of Frey & Frev's is 

 located the establishment of C. B. Keller, 

 which is a model place, in a good resi- 

 dence portion. Mr. Keller reports good 

 business. J. J. H.

The key to success is proper ven- 

 tilation and watering. The key to 

 proper ventilation is the Evans*

 Works easily, does the work right, 

 built to last, always satisfactory. 

 No toy imitation but a machine to 

 do its work and do it well. Much
