OMAHA. 



The Market. 



Business was steady until the mid- 

 dle of last week; then it took a de- 

 cided drop, which all had anticipated, 

 as conditions were due to change 

 because of Lent. Roses and carnations 

 are in good supply and the quality is 

 good, bringing fair prices. The qual- 

 ity of Beauties is much better than 

 that of a month ago. Calendulas have 

 sold exceedingly well all winter and 

 :proved themselves money-makers for 

 all who grew them. Some extra fine 

 callas and Formosa lilies are in the 

 market and sell well. Shipped-in Cali- 

 fornia violets are fine, but there is not 

 much demand for them. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Louise Wegner, who was oper-

 be up and around, but she is not quite 

 ready for work. 



J. J. Hess, before going to the Na-

was a guest at a large banquet Satur-

Miss Gretchen Swoboda has returned 

 after several months' visit to Cali- 

 fornia, where she had a delightful time. 



The Woerner Wire Works has been 

 exceedingly busy all winter and right 

 now is working day and night to fill 

 orders on hand. 



Frank Swanson, who some time ago 

 leased the Arnold greenhouses on 

 North Eighteenth street and has his 

 store in South Omaha, is doing a good 

 business and says he could ' do more 

 if he had the glass. 



At Council Bluffs. 



Last Sunday we took a run over to 

 Council Bluffs to see some of our 

 brother florists, but, owing to the fact 

 that our time was limited, we did not 

 see all of them, much as we wished to. 

 Our first stop was at Herman Bros.', 

 where we found roses and carnations 

 in good shape. Oscar Herman has had
