HUNT'S REVIEW OF THE CHIC.VGO 

 MARKET. 



The past week has seen every wholesaler 

 daily straining every nerve in an effort to make 

 stock and orders meet. 



Orders have been plentiful, generous in num- 

 ber and size, and at times out of all proportiijn 

 to stocks in sight. 



The main call has been for white stuff— roses, 

 carnations, callas, Harrisii and fine stuff; 

 everything in white, in fact, has gone evL-n 

 before being received. 



Good maids and Beauties have been also ac- 

 tively sought for and perhaps have fallen be- 

 low demand in greater degree than anything 

 else, as they have no substitutes. 



The stuck now coming in. in most rases, is 

 good. Perles. perhaps, are the farthest from 

 the standard. Other varieties are improving 

 and much really fine stock is being recei\Hil 

 daily. Doubtless much stock has been shipr>e<l 

 lately that ordinarily would not be, but stocks 

 must not be judged by that. 



With all the scarcity, according to daily re- 

 ports, prices have not advanced as far here as 

 at other comjieting points. 



Should the present severe siege of zero, 

 windy weather continue, it will not fake long 

 for another advance, probably affecting bulb- 

 ous stufT as well. 



Violets keep coming in good supply. 



Tip top freesias are to be had. 



White tulips and daffodils are good and plen- 

 tiful, though not at all overdone. 



A good many calls for Carnot for special 

 occasions— with none to be had. Don't this 

 rose bloom in midwinter? 



A good many orders placed, well distributed, 

 for next week. Business should be good. 



OMAHA. 



Business Quiet. 

 Business is somewhat quiet, with 

 stock good .Tutl plentiful and therefore 

 prices down. Dutch hyacinths are 

 coming in and sell well. 



A Show Next Fall. 



The Nebraska Florists' Societ.v held 

 its monthly meeting on January 13, at 

 which it was decided to hold a chrysan- 

 themum show this year, tliat of last 

 year being such a success. The florists 

 pledged themselves to do still better in 

 the way of growing new and rare varie- 

 ties. The society now has a bowling 

 team and have met with gratifying suc- 

 cess for beginners; some travel sixty 

 miles each week so as not to miss the 

 fun. A shooting team is now being 

 organized. J. J. H.
