The Weekly Rorists^ Review* 



JAMCABT 6. 190S, 



OMAHA« 



Weather conditions prior to Christmas 

 were ideal, plenty of sunshine and warm. 

 Trade prospects were fine, with every 

 hope for a very fin© business. Conditions 

 were such that people could get out on 

 the street without inconvenience and this 

 naturally brought buyers that ordinarily 

 would not reach the flower shop. 



Stock was not overplentiful, probably 

 because of the unusual demand. Car- 

 nations were in their prime, with excel- 

 lent color. Beauties, while not as plen- 

 tiful as a year ago, brought better 

 prices. Mscellaneous stock was abun- 

 dant and brought fair prices. The price 

 of cut flowers inclined to stiffen and 

 held all along the line and averaged 

 higher than for several years. This ap- 

 plies principally to carnations for which 

 there was an unprecedented demand. 



Plants were in great demand. Every- 

 thing in pots went. Some stores did 

 well on palms and ferns and a store 

 in the next square sold few of them, 

 but many of plants in bloom. Begonia 

 Gloire de Lorraine held first place. Those 

 who handled them did well and cleared 

 their stores of them early, necessitating 

 a fresh stock. Azaleas were inclined to 

 be backward in blooming and not near- 

 ly aa many could be brought in as usual. 

 But this was made up for by selling 

 something else. 



The writer has reason to believe that 

 everybody is well satisfied. One store- 

 man says his business is thirty per cent 

 better than a year ago, another twenty- 

 five per cent better, and so all along.
