OMAHA. 



Giiiaha is. niid has iH^eii. in tlic iiiidsl 

 of eoiisideialjle •■Join's." After Easter 

 came tlie President, and of course \\r 

 gave iiini tlie glad hand. Sliortly aftei' 

 we received the cold shoulder in the way 

 of the wor.st spring freeze tlie oldest 

 inhabitant ha.s ever experienced. The 

 weather is still sutHciently had to dis- 

 courage spring planting and scarcelv any 

 has been done. We are having a tempest 

 in a teapot in the way of a stiiUe and 

 business is sutt'ering nioie or less as a 

 consequence. 



A very tine banquet was given the 

 President iit the Omaha Club. Ropes 

 of electric lights, asparagus and car- 

 nations composed the festooning, while 

 on the table were miniature floral can 

 non and gun boats. re])resenting tlie 

 arm.v and navy. 



Cut Mower trade is good; in fiiet. some 

 of our retailers are buying nnieli more 

 than ordinarily. Prices iiavi' drcqiped 

 a notch, but this applies more to carna- 

 tions than to any other Houers. There 

 were many May parties given the past 

 week, which called for considerable dee 

 orative stock and quite a nunibei- of cut 

 flowers. 



I have i-eports that a number of firms 

 are conteni]datiiig improvements of con- 

 siderable magnitude tlie coming summer. 

 Those which 1 believe to lie authentic aie 

 the following: Chas. Ederer will build 

 two rose houses, each 20x1110. houis 

 Henderson will build two ne« rc.-e 

 houses, each 20xl.')0. ami will prolial)ly 

 rebuild some. Hess & Swdlioda are now 

 building a rose house. 2.ix20n. A. Don 

 aglnie will extend six carnation houses. 

 The extensions, with tluee sluu't (daiit 

 houses, will com|uise aliout (i:HI) run- 

 ning feet, or about Id.ilDil In 12.1(00 feet 

 of glass. 



■T. J. Hi-ss will leave for Eurojie .Tune 

 11, his stav'to cover about three montlw.

SANDfSKY. O. — The park commission- 

 ers will recommend the building of a new
