The Florists' Review 



March 13. 1919. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



The market slowed up last week and 

 stock is arriving a little more plenti- 

 fully. We now have a splendid cut of 

 roses, with fancy Hadley, Ophelia, Co- 

 lumbia, Eussell and Ward, which realize 

 from 8 to 25 cents. Carnations are hold- 

 ing up well in price, although there is 

 no oversupply. Sweet peas are arriving 

 in quantity, the longer grades holding 

 up well in price, the shorter grades suf- 

 fering a slight drop, and clean up well. 

 Double violets are more plentiful, but 

 the left-over stock cleaned up with a 

 slight cut in price. Single violets are in 

 good demand. A good cut of Easter lilies 

 and callas is seen and these meet with a 

 fair demand. Pansies are arriving in 

 quantity and realize $1.50 per hundred. 

 Cut hyacinths are in good demand. Ca- 

 lendulas of good quality are arriving. 

 Bulbous stock is having a brisk demand. 

 There are few tulips in the market and 

 daffodils and jonquils are cleaning up 

 well. Narcissi are about through for 

 the season. Freesia is moving slowly. 

 Snapdragon, wallflowers, daisies and 

 other novelties are in good demand. 



Various Notes. 



Peter Salaga, manager of the Sixth 

 City Wire Works, died of influenza last 

 week. 



E. Walter and C. A. Bramley have new 

 Overland delivery ears. 



Paul Backofen, manager of the Daisy 

 Hill Farm, has a fine cut of peas com- 

 ing on. 



The trade here feels keenly the unex- 

 pected death of Frank A. Friedley, 

 which is reported in this week's obitu- 

 ary column. W. F. B. 



OMAHA, NEB. 



The Market. 



Stock is scarce again and there is not 

 much bulbous stock left. All flowers 

 are bringing a good price. Business 

 continues heavy and everyone gives a 

 good report for the entire month of 

 February. 



Various Notes. 



A large p:nty of florists went to Lin- 

 coln for the convention of the State 

 Florists' Society, held there recently. 

 Everyone had a good time and was 

 well pleased with the meeting. 



The Council Bluffs bowlers came to 

 Omaha, March 4, and took the Omaha 

 boys' scalps to the tune of 600 pins. 



F. L. Lainson, of Council Bluffs, was 

 visited by a fire that practically de- 

 stroyed his boiler room and packing 

 shed. It started at 4 o'clock in the 

 morning. Mr. Lainson had a good deal 

 of stock ready for market in Omaha, 

 but was fortunate enough to get this 

 out before it was destroyed. The loss 

 was covered by insurance. 



J. F. Wilcox'& Sons, of Council Bluffs, 

 are cutting some exceptionally fine 

 Columbia and Russell roses. Their car- 

 nations are the best that have been 

 seen on this market for many years. 



J. L. Ennegon, proprietor of the New 

 York Floral Co., Denver, Colo., was in 

 this city and states that business has 

 been exceptionally good in Denver 

 throughout the winter. 



H. J. Jensen, manager for the Gurney 

 Greenhouse Co., Mitchell, S. D., was in 

 Council Bluffs on a business trip.
