The Florists' Review 



JUNB 15, 1916. 



OMAHA, NEB. 



The Market. 



Irises and gladioli, which made their 

 appearance a couple of weeks ago, are 

 arriving in large quantities. Sweet 

 peas are plentiful and cheap. Funeral 

 work has been heavy during the last 

 few weeks and has helped to keep the 

 supply fairly well cleaned up. Now 

 thatt the greenhouses have been cleared 

 of bedding stock, the growers are be- 

 ginning to plan more actively for fall. 

 They are planting mums and roses, of 

 which some excellent stock is to be 

 seen. 



Various Notes. 



Eudolph Timmler is sending in the 

 first Shasta daisies of the season. 

 They are especially fine, having stems 

 fifteen to eighteen inches in length. 



Paul Floth did the bedding work for 

 King park, and it was a good job. 



The Stewart Seed Store is experienc- 

 ing the best season it ever had. Mrs. 

 Stewart still takes an active interest 

 in the business. 



Memorial day business was exception- 

 ally good with most of the local flo- 

 rists. Eoses and carnations were in 

 good supply, but peonies were some- 

 what scarce. Shipped-in stock of the 

 latter in most cases was of poor qual- 

 ity. The home-grown stock arrived 

 three days too late. 



John Bath has been busy of late with 

 funeral work. He says that the total 

 business of the passing season will be 

 far in excess of that of last year. 



At the Hess & Swoboda range rose 

 planting will be finished this week. 

 The young stock of mums never looked 

 better, and as fast as the benches can 

 be cleared of left-over bedding stock, 

 etc., young stock will be put in. 



Rosenfeldt's peony farm is one of 

 the show places of Omaha just at pres- 

 ent. The thirty or forty acres are one 

 mass of bloom from one end to the 

 other. These peonies, arriving a few 

 days too late for Memorial day, re- 

 suited in a loss of several thousand 

 dollars. 



The Bowlers' Scores. 



Only a few of the boys turned out 

 for the bowling match June 7, which 

 was won by the Council Bluffs trades- 

 men by the small margin of eighty-eiKht 

 pins. The score follows:

NORTHAMPTON, MASS. 



The regular meeting of the Holyoke 

 and Northampton Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club was held June 6 at the bo- 

 tanic garden of Smith College, North- 

 ampton, Mass. Before settling to busi- 

 ness members found many things of 

 interest in the herbaceous .garden and 

 greenhouses of the college. The prin- 

 cipal business transacted was the adop- 

 tion of a schedule for the annual flower 

 show, to be held in Northampton, No- 

 vember 1 and 2. 



George Strugnell read a paper on hy- 

 drangeas, in which he is a specialist. 

 G. J. Canning exhibited sprays of an 

 interesting collection of flowering 

 shrubs, including some of the little 

 known kinds. In the greenhouses the
