shops in Omaha will close on Sundays, 

 starting the first Sunday in July. The 

 publicity committee is preparing the 

 notices to advise the public of the 

 Sunday closing. The committee intro- 

 duced a publicity campaign to be car- 

 ried on in the local papers and met 

 with hearty support. The election of 

 oflScers will be held May 12. Some dis- 

 cussion was made on the prices to be 

 charged on spring plants and it was 

 finally agreed that the prices will re- 

 main the same as in 1920.

AMERICAN ORCHID SOCIETY. 



The American Orchid Society was 

 brought into being April 7, 1921, at 

 Boston, as related fully in last week's 

 issue of The Eeview. There are a few 

 points in its constitution and by-laws 

 which will probably be of interest to 

 many. 



The American Orchid Society is "for 

 the purpose of aiding in every possible 

 way the importation and improvement 

 by cultivation and hybridization of 

 exotic orchids; the preservation and per- 

 petuation of native orchids; the dissemi- 

 nation by exhibitions, lectures and pub- 

 lications of useful knowledge concern- 

 ing orchids, and the extension of knowl- 

 edge, production, use and love of these 

 beautiful flowers." 



"The society shall consist of all those 

 persons, whether male or female, 

 whether citizens of the United States or 

 foreign countries, who have shown 

 special interest in orchids by work, 

 studies, writings or otherwise, who shall 

 have been elected to membership by a 

 majority vote of the trustees, who shall 

 have paid their annual dues and who 

 shall have signed these articles of asso- 

 ciation. There shall be two classes of 

 members, life members and regular 

 members. 



"The annual dues for regular mem- 

 bers shall be $5 per year, payable on the 

 first of January. Life members shall 

 pay a single fee of $100 and shall be 

 exempt from the payment of all dues 

 thereafter. No entrance fee will be re- 

 quired to join the society." 

 _ The executive coiuniittee is given the 

 right to publish such reports, bulletins, 

 memorials, pamphlets, books and other 

 publications as it believes are for the 

 best interests of the society and its 

 work. The trustees are given the right 

 to appropriate money for such certif- 

 icates, medals and other prizes as they 

 deem fitting. 



The annual meetings are to be held 

 at such times during the month of 

 March or April and at such a place in 

 the United States as may be specified 

 to the members by the majority of the 

 trustees at least sixty days in advance 

 of the meeting. Special meetings may 

 be held at any time and at any place on 

 thirty days' notice. A quorum at a 

 meeting will consist of ten members.

The Market. 



Last week's market was a slight im- 

 provement over the previous two 

 weeks, and towards the end of the week 

 roses and carnations cleaned up well. 

 Of course, there was still an oversupply 

 of bulbous stock, which was only fair 

 in quality. Tulips, daffodils, narcissi, 

 etc., were still arriving in good quan-

tity. There seoiiied to be :in excep- 

 tionally large crop of white e-ariiations. 

 Whether or not they are coming too 

 early for Mothers' day on account of 

 the weather is a question. The trouble 

 is not ai>parcnt, but everyone hopes 

 that they will not play out before May 

 8. A small quantity of delphinium 

 made its first appearance last week. It 

 was rather small, but of fair quality. 

 Most of the stock coming in was of 

 sucli good quality that the grower who 

 had poor stock either found no sale for 

 his stock or else it had to be disposed 

 of at a lower price. Fancy ferns were 

 scarce on this market and the quality 

 was not the best.
