Trade is excellent in both cut flow- 

 ers and plants and fair prices are real- 

 ized. Omaha begins to feel the effect 

 of the Trans - IVlississippi Exposition, 

 •which will open its gates June 1. All 

 the buildings are completed and ready 

 to receive the exhibits except the hor- 

 ticultural building, upon which there 

 is some work yet to do. 



The grounds look beautiful. The 

 weather is favorable for the lawns and 

 trees and we have had quite a good 

 deal of rain of late. The arrangement 

 of the grounds shows great skill on 

 the part of the landscape gardener; 

 they are fully as grand as those at the 

 World's Columbian Exposition. The 

 florists here are taking much interest 

 in making a creditable display. Mr. 

 Chapin. of Lincoln, has charge of the 

 state display, and Mr. Hess, of Omaha, 

 has charge of that for Douglas county. 



Mr. Reed has sold his interest in 

 the firm of McPherson & Reed, of 

 Council Bluffs, to M. Frey. late of Lin- 

 coln. Neb., and the firm name is now 

 McPherson & Frey. 



Karr & Davidson will open a store 

 on Douglas street. 



Recent callers were Mr. Ford, of 

 New York, and A. L. Vaughan. of 

 Vaughan. McKellar & Winterson. Chi- 

 cago. 



At its last meeting the Nebraska 

 Florists' Club changed its name to the 

 Nebraska and Iowa Florists' Associa- 

 tion. J. J. H. 



THE National Florists' Board of 

 Trade of New York has moved into 

 larger and more commodious quarters 

 on the fifth floor of the same building, 

 where there is ample room to handle 

 the increasing business of the concern. 

 The street address is still 271 Broad- 

 way, but the telephone number is now 

 1955 Cortlandt. Mr. Cornelius S. Loder. 

 the enterprising secretary, is entitled 

 to the thanks of the trade for the ex- 

 cellent work he has done in securing 

 reliable credit information for mem- 

 bers. No one selling to the trade can 

 afford to be without the information 

 supplied by the Board. 



YOU CAN BUY all your trade sup- 

 plies to the very best advantage from 

 advertisers in The Florists' R'^view, 

 and at the same time advanc3 the in- 

 terests of your paper.
