The Bohannon Floral Co. is preparing 

 to abandon its old stand on Monroe 

 street, the business being transferred to 

 the new permanent store nearby in the 

 Powers building. The new store is one 

 of the most attractive in the downtown 

 section and bids fair to make a fine 

 success. 



Visitors. 



Ralph M. Ward, New York bulb mer- 

 chant and plant importer, was in town 

 last week. 



D. F. Harrison, greenhouse cucumber 

 grower at Kankakee, 111., was a visitor 

 February 13, looking up the possibilities 

 of a crop of sweet peas or other cut flow- 

 ers to take the place of a house of cu- 

 cumbers 65x450 burned in fumigating 

 With hydrocyanic acid gas. 



OMAHA, NEB. 



The Market. 



The extremely cold weather that has 

 prevailed for the last few weeks has 

 not hurt business so much as one might 

 suspect; in fact, the retailers say they 

 never saw business so good before at 

 this time of the year. Funeral work 

 has been unusually heavy. 



The supply of roses is on the increase, 

 except the short grades, which are still 

 scarce. Easter lilies are not plentiful 

 and those who have this stock find a 

 ready sale for it at good prices. Callas 

 are also in light supply. Tulips have 



made their appearance and, though short 

 of stem, move well. 



Various Notes. 



The blizzard that struck Omaha and 

 vicinity at the first of the month was 

 hard on the growers. It increased the al- 

 ready high coal bills and caused much 

 extra work. With the wind at a velocity 

 of thirty-five miles per hour and the tem- 

 perature at 23 below zero, it was a hard 

 proposition for many of the growers to 

 keep from freezing out. Fortunately, 

 only a few suffered slight damage. 



Lewis Henderson had his share of fu- 

 neral work last week, having several 

 designs of unusually large size. 



A. Hruban states that he experienced 

 a surprisingly large business last week.
