The Weekly Florists^ Review.

THE OMAHA EXPOSITION. 



Ten states have applied for space at 

 the Trans - Mississippi and Interna- 

 tional Exposition, and all will have 

 exhibits as fine as ever shown at any 

 exposition. 



The grounds will be well supplied 

 with floral exhibits, as more than a 

 score of the largest florists in the 

 United States are sending some of 

 their best material for use there. 



A splendid aquatic pond is being 

 constructed, in which will be grown 

 three Victoria Regias and many other 

 of the finest aquatic plants. This ex- 

 hibit is made liy Henry A. Dreer. Heat 

 will be supplied by means of hot wa- 

 ter, and the best conditions possible 

 will be provided in order to make this 

 a particularly good feature. 



F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown. N. Y., 

 will duplicate the magnificent display 

 of cannas they made at the Tennessee 

 Centennial in Nashville. 



W. Atlee Burpee & Co.. Philadelphia, 

 will show the Burbank rose and Glo- 

 riosa cannas. W. W. Wilmore. Den- 

 ver. Colo., will exhibit a set of his 

 fine dahlias. 



A very interesting exhibit will be 

 that of the Sunset Seed and Plant Co.. 

 San Francis<'o. who will have a bed 

 containing ICl' varieties of sweet peas. 

 A Blanc & Co.. Philadelphia, will sup- 

 ply fine exhibits of cannas and cacti. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



There was a greatly increased de- 

 mand for cut flowers at Easter. Prices 

 about the same as last year, but were 

 kept a trifle stiffer. and practically 

 everyone cleaned out nicely. On Easi- 

 er lilies the price was about 3() per 

 cent, higher than last year. Some 

 florists on the outskirts of the city cut 

 their proflts by selling lilies at ."in to 

 ''< cents a pot. when there was no 

 good reason to make such a low rate; 

 still there was not so much price-cut- 

 ting as last year. p. d. 



THE Gurney Heater Mfg. Co.. Bos- 

 ton. Mass.. issued a very novel Easter 

 souvenir. On opening the folder it 

 was found to contain a life-like rep- 

 resentation of the purple fruit of an 

 egg-plant, inside of which was a small 

 packet of egg-plant seed. The recipient 

 is requested to plant tne seed and 

 raise a commemorative egg-plant. 



MR. A. LANGE. Chicago, has sent 

 tis a neatly printed pamphlet entitled. 

 ■■The Language of Flowers," which he 

 is presenting to customers as a sou- 

 venir. It is a very pretty adv. for a 

 retail florist. 



RICHMOND. VA.— The stock of the 

 Richmond Floral Company was sold 

 at auction April l.j to close the busi- 

 ness.
