The Florists* Review 



Apbil is. 1016. 



OMAHA, NEB. 



The Market. 



From present indications there is go- 

 ing to be an abundance of stock for 

 Easter, and, judging from advance or- 

 ders, all dealers predict the heaviest 

 run of business they ever have had for 

 that date. While some think that the 

 Lenten season trade was a little off, 

 the majority are inclined to the belief 

 that it will surpass any previous one. 

 During the latter part of last week 

 everyone was rushed to the limit with 

 funeral work, which served to clean up 

 the glut on the market. Eoses move 

 well at $2 to $12 per hundred for the 

 general line. Ophelia and Bussell sell 

 at $5 to $16 per hundred. Carnations 

 are holding at about $3 per hundred. 

 Sweet peas are arriving in large quan- 

 tities and prices are dropping, 75 cents 

 per hundred being received for the 

 finest flowers, but many are sold as low 

 as 35 cents. Lilies are arriving in large 

 quantities, with a fair supply of short- 

 stemmed stock. The fancy kinds are 

 selling at $15 per hundred, while the 

 shorts go at much lower figures. Snap- 

 dragons, calendulas and tulips are 

 plentiful and bring good prices. 



Various Notes. 



J. J. Hess has returned from the Na- 

 tional Flower Show and pronounces it 

 the best ever held. 



Miss Margaret Magnussen has been 

 quite ill with tonsillitis, but at last re- 

 ports was improving. 



Trade at the Flower Shop, on Farnam 

 street, was good last week. There was 

 a good run of funeral work. 



The Chatenay roses grown at Lewis 

 Henderson's place find ready sale at 

 both of his stores. Mr. Henderson says 

 he cannot get along without this va- 

 riety. 



A call at Charles Ederer 's place 

 found the men busy with funeral work, 

 with no time to talk shop. Mr, Ederer 

 intends adding four small houses this 

 summer. 



Three weeks before Easter Paul Floth 

 had orders for every one of his 3,000 

 lilies and he says he could sell as many 

 more if he had them. He has some 

 fine spiraeas that ought to bring a fancy 

 price. 



Janousek Bros., out at Prospect Hill, 

 are sending in some good sweet peas, 

 with stems twelve to sixteen inches 

 long. L. S. H. 



Lincoln, Neb.— The C. H. Frey Co. 

 has completed the dissemination of its 

 new red carnation, Nebraska, having 

 sold all the cuttings that can be rooted 

 this spring, in addition to its needs for 

 field planting.

The increasing popularity 

 of the Clay Hanging Basket, 

 and its especial fitness for use 

 on stone and brick porches, 

 has created a demand for one 

 made from clay which will 



harmonize with this material, and at the same time be roomy and deep enough 



to insure thrifty plant growth. 



This basket is entirely new in 

 design, the light red terra cotta 

 blending with any porch color 

 scheme.
