The Horists' Review 



Jandaby 25, 1917. 



OMAHA, NEB. 



The Market. 



Business has been unusually good dur- 

 ing the last few weeks. The supply of 

 roses now is rather inadequate and 

 prices are high. Carnations are plenti- 

 ful; some of them are good, but more of 

 them are extremely poor. Why do some 

 growers persist in overfeeding their car- 

 nations and burning them up with to- 

 bacco smoke? They do it year in and 

 year out, and then wonder why the 

 stems are so weak, why they get so 

 many splits and why their stock has not 

 the keeping qualities it ought to have. 



Violets and sweet peas are plentiful 

 and of fair quality, but valley, snap- 

 dragons and calendulas are scarce. 

 Greens of all kinds are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The report that the Misses Longren 

 and Swedland, who conduct the Flower 

 Shop, have dissolved partnership, is not 

 founded on facts. It was news to the 

 partners themselves. 



Stewart's Seed Store reports business 

 good in all lines. The force is busy these 

 days getting ready for the spring rush. 

 The new catalogue is just off the press 

 and is a credit to the concern. 



Hess & Swoboda report their rose crop 

 as being short of the demand, but that 

 they have plenty of other flowers to help 

 out. This firm has some of the finest 

 cyclamens ever seen in this locality. 



Mrs. Lewis Henderson has been suf- 

 fering from poisoning in the hands 

 caused by rose thorns. 



The regular meeting of the Omaha 

 and Council Bluffs Florists' Club will 

 be held Tuesday, February 8. A full 

 attendance is requested. 



Kecent visitors included M. Le Vine, 

 representing Lion & Co., of New York; 

 A. Longren, of the Burlington Willow 

 Ware Shops, Burlington, la.; R. New- 

 comb, of the American Bulb Co., Chi- 

 cago; C. Pruiier, of the Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., Chicago; J. S. Wilson, of Des 

 Moines, la. 



Bluffs Boys Win Again. 



Members of the Omaha and Council 

 Bluffs bowling teams met at Council 

 Bluffs last week for a contest. This was 

 the first match of the new year and the 

 Bluffs boys carried off the victory by 

 winning the three games straight. After 

 the last frames had been chalked up, 

 everybody was invited to the new store 

 of J. F. Wilcox & Song, to partake of 

 coffee and sandwiches. The scores were: 



Tofl ..1355 1325 1446 Tot'l ..1513 1439 1548 



This week's contest was to be held at 

 the new Omaha alleys, and it is hoped 

 that the Omaha members came out in 

 better form than last week. L. S. H.
