The Weekly Florists* Review, 



FEBRUARY 17. : 



OMAHA, NEB. 



Trade Conditions. 



Business lias lieen good tlie past two 

 weelvs. Stoclv is soraewliat scarce, es- 

 pecially carnations. Roses are sold 

 at 75 cents to $1.00 per dozen, carna- 

 tions 35 to 40 cents, violets $1.00 to 

 $1.50 per hundred. Bull)0Us stock sells 

 well this year, as must of the florists 

 handle it in small quantities. 



Among the Growers. 



J. F. Wilcox is sending in some fine 

 American Beauties and Bridesmaids 

 and some excellent Meteors are being 

 received from McPherson & Reed. ilr. 

 R. Unger consigns all his stock to St. 

 Louis and gets a better price or just 

 as good as the retailer realizes for his 

 stock here in Omaha. The r-arnations 

 and violets which C. H. Frey, of I^in- 

 coln, is sending to this market are un- 

 usnally fine, as are also the Marie 

 Louise violets which Nicols & Green 

 are sending. 



Notes. 



Mr. Geo. A. Kuhl, of Pekin. HI., 

 called on us on his way to the coast 

 and was very much surprised at flow- 

 ers being sold at wholesale in retail 

 stores. 



The Nebraska Florists' Society are 

 having lots of fun. They meet every 

 Monday night to practice bowling. The 

 scores made were as follows: A. Doa- 

 aghue. Sr.. 104; J. F. Wilcox, 143; L. 

 B. Stewart, 126; Geo. Swoboda, 111; J. 

 J. Hess, 12S, which is a good average 

 for starters. .1, .1. B. 



CARNATION WELLESLEY. 



In our last issue an omission was 

 made from the advertisement of Tail- 

 by's new scarlet carnation on page 4S7. 

 It should have read "For sale by J. 

 Tailby & Son, Wellesley, Mass.. and 

 H. F. Littlefleld, Worcester, Mass." It 

 appears correctly in this issue. 



Mr. J. Harrison, of Jersey City. N. ,J., 

 besides having his star carnation. Mrs. 

 J. Harrison, in good shape, has several 

 very promising seedlings. One is a 

 specially good pink that will undoubt- 

 edly be heard from in the near future. 

 It has not yet been christened.
