The Florists^ Review 



April 6. 1922 



OMAHA, NEB. 



The Market. 



There is a decided improvement in 

 business. Although the weather has 

 been clear and warm, there is a scarcity 

 of lilies. Bulbous stock of all kinds is 

 arriving too fast and, unless cool 

 weather comes, it is going to be a task 

 to hold down the blooms. Koses and 

 carnations are mostly in demand. The 

 markets clear on these each day. Car- 

 nations bring $6 per hundred. Eoses 

 are scarce and short-stemmed. Premier 

 is the favorite, followed by Columbia. 

 Jonquils and daffodils are beginning to 

 wane. Home-grown violets are plenti- 

 ful, at 50 cents to 75 cents per hundred. 

 Sweet peas are getting shorter and 

 heavier. Valley is fine. 



Various Notes. 



Many heated debates and newspaper 

 articles are heard and seen daily on the 

 Mothers' day question. Mrs. Hochstet- 

 ter, of the Mothers' day committee of 

 Nebraska, has waged war on the florists 

 and is trying to introduce the wearing 

 of badges. 



J. J. Hess and Miss Ellen Ferrick re- 

 turned last week, after attending the 

 national flower show. 



At the weekly bowling contest Omaha 

 defeated Council Bluffs two out of three 

 games. However, the Omaha team fell 

 short in the total number of pins and 

 paid for the luncheon. T. E. E. 



GUARANTEED FLOWERS. 



Considerable newspaper publicity has 

 been obtained by James Hayes, To- 

 peka, Kan., as a result of his "guaran- 

 teed flower bond." This was announced 

 in a full-page advertisement in the To- 

 peka Capital, Sunday, March 19, and 

 Mr. Hayes is spending a good many 

 dollars in advertising his bond. The 

 bond is a small slip of paper, which is 

 placed in every order of flowers sent 

 out, and reads as follows: 



HAYES* GUARANTHED FLOWER BOND. 

 If these flowers are not satisfactory in every 

 respect they will be replaced with other flowers 

 or the money will be cheerfully refunded. 



James S. Hayes. 

 Mr. Hayes is pushing the word "guar- 

 anteed" to the limit and he plans to 

 change the name on his stationery, 

 trucks, windows, etc., to read "Hayes' 

 Guaranteed Flowers." From the com- 

 ment which has been made on this 

 move locally, Mr. Hayes believes it will 

 be a great success.
