Mention The Review when yon write. 



After noon St. Valentine 's day orders 

 came in thick and fast, particularly for 

 eorsages, baskets and plants. As the 

 day was mild, deliveries were made 

 'vithout any hardships. 



Various Notes. 



Hans Rosacker has been attracting a 

 good business with his fine supply of 

 young plants. 



In addition to a full line of potted 

 "bulbous stock and azaleas. Max Kaiser 

 has been enjoying a good sale of some 

 extra long Sprengeri. He is satisfied 

 ^ith the St. Valentine 's dav business 

 none. 



S. M. Rosenfcld, representative of a 

 New York ribbon house, is here with a 

 fine line of chiffons and novelties. 



The Whitted Floral Co. did a brisk 

 business at both its stores St. Valen- 

 tine's day. Novelties, baskets and 

 fancy boxes sold well. 



One of the handsomest stores in town 

 is that of Moore & Terwilleger, in which 

 special pains have been taken to har- 

 monize the fittings, woodwork, etc.

The Market. 



Last week the market opened with 

 stock as scarce as ever and the demand

 ping trade has been unusuallj^good. The 

 end of the week still found a steady de- 

 mand, with stock well cleaned up. 



Bulbous stock of all kinds is coming 

 in and the better class of stock is bring- 

 ing good prices. Snapdragons are at 

 last coming into crop, having been off all 

 winter. Sweet peas are in good supply 

 and move readily. Valley is scarce. 

 There has been a good cut of violets, but 

 the heavy call has kept them on the 

 move. 



Various Notes. 



St. Valentine's business this year was 

 the best ever seen at the Parker Flower 

 Shop. They had all they could handle. 



Fred Lainson, of Council Bluffs, is 

 sending to Omaha some of the finest car- 

 nations seen on the market. The keep- 

 ing quality of his stock is hard to beat. 

 He is busy these days, having just in-
