The Florists^ Review 



jANUAar 4, 1917. 



OMAHA, NEB. 



The Market. 



All seasonable stock is selling well and 

 many of the retailers report an unusual 

 increase in business. A large quantity 

 of funeral work has consumed much 

 stock and social affairs have called for a 

 great deal of decorative work. 



Narcissi have begun to come into the 

 market in large quantities, and move 

 well. For the last two weeks the weather 

 has been severely cold, but at this writ- 

 ing the indications are for rising tem- 

 peratures, which will be welcomed by 

 all the florists, whose boilers have been 

 running full capacity too long on $6-per- 

 ton coal. 



Various Notes. 



George Zimmer, who has been ill for 

 several weks, now is reported to be bet- 

 ter. He had an excellent cut of Beacon 

 carnations for Christmas. 



Lewis Henderson is among the first to 

 offer Roman hyacinths to the trade. 

 These are good and sell well. Mr. Hen- 

 derson 's Christmas and New Year 's busi- 

 ness was the best ever. 



The Flower Shop, Fortieth and Far- 

 nam streets, reports a successful Christ- 

 mas business. It has been having a 

 heavy run on corsage bouquets for debu- 

 tante parties. 



The feature at the Parker Flower 

 Shop Christmas week was a fine display 

 of potted plants. The business for the 

 holidays was all that the force could 

 handle. 



The Stewart Seed Store is one of the 

 attractions in the downtown district. 

 The force was on the jump during the 

 holidays and states that the volume of 

 business done will average much higher 

 than that of last year's. 



The Nebraska State Florists' Society 

 will meet at Lincoln, .January 16, for a 

 one-day session, in connection with the 

 week of "Organized Agriculture," Jan- 

 uary 15 to 19. The program is as fol- 

 lows: Opening address by President Ed- 

 ward Williams, of Grand Island; secre-

 ticultural Society. In the evening a
