The Florists* Review 



Mabch 8, 1917. 



OMAHA, NEB. 



" The Market. 



Despite the fact that it is Lent, there 

 has been no noticeable decrease in the 

 demand for flowers and plants. Fu- 

 neral work has been. heavy and the au- 

 tomobile show last week proved a big 

 factor in keeping the market well 

 cleaned up. 



Never in the history of the oldest flo- 

 rists has the cold weather continued as 

 long as it has this winter, but from a 

 growing and productive standpoint it 

 has beea. one of the best ever seen. 

 While tra increase in the cost of fuel 

 has been hard to bear, business has been' 

 so good that it has offset the extra ex- 

 pense to a certain extent. Without a 

 doubt everybody will have a good profit 

 that will keep the wolf away from the 

 door for some time to come. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Baldwin, of the Fernery, is in 

 Chicago this week on business. 



Lewis Henderson had the decorations 

 for the automobile show held at the 

 Auditorium last week. 



Miss Eeba McNamara is having a 

 good run of corsage work for theater 

 goers. 



The Herman Bros. Co., of Council 

 Bluffs, is consigning excellent sweet 

 peas to the Parker Flower Shop. 



Lee Larmon, the Fontenelle hotel flo- 

 rist, had an appropriate window for auto 

 show week. 



Robert Newcomb, of the Ameri' an 

 Bulb Co., was among recent visitors. 



The Florists' Club members got to- 

 gether over in the Bluffs March 2 and 

 bowled three exciting games with the 

 Bluffs boys. The losers, Omaha, put up 

 a hard fight, but nevertheless wont 

 down to defeat for three games straight. 

 Mr. Foster, with the losing side, was 

 high man with a total of 519.

Retail business has been good lately 

 and has only decreased a little under the 

 influence of Lent. Bulbous stock is 

 plentiful and sells well. Cyclamens are 

 still on the market and a few prefer 

 them to other plants. Plenty of azaloas 

 are being sold. Roses and violets retain 

 their popularity. 



H. F. A, Lange reports business ex- 

 cellent. Mr. Lange had the decorations 

 for a large banquet last week. It was 

 carried out in spring flowers. 



Harry I. Randall reports business good 

 and looks for a record-breaking Easter 

 trade. Mr. Randall will remove to 18 

 Pearl street about April 1. 



The Worcester County Horticultural 

 Society held its annual spring flower 

 show March 7 and 8. The society was 

 without the services of Albert H. Lange, 

 who usually had charge of the arrange- 

 ments. Mr. Lange was on the March 

 jury at Fitchburg and could not bo 

 present. H. L.
