The Weekly Florists' Review* 



October 29, 1908. 



OMAHA. 



Orchids and Omaha will be synony- 

 mous at the first national flower show to 

 be given y*y the American Society of 

 Florists at Chicago, November 6 ^ 14, 

 and then the Omahans will try to arrange 

 for a flower show and meeting of the 

 florists in Omaha next year. 



For some time Hess & Swoboda have 

 been furnishing orchids for Chicago trade, 

 and other florists have recently taken 

 up the culture of these flowers, until 

 Omaha now prides herself on being an 

 orchid market as well as a grain market 

 and packing center. 



L. Henderson, president of the local 

 florists' club, and J. H. Hadkinson, sec- 

 retary, will attend the Chicago show and 

 take an exhibit of flowers, as will also 

 representatives of the Hess & Swoboda 

 firm, which is to furnish a large share 

 of the orchids. 



Mr. Hadkinson has had charge of many 

 flower shows and displays in St. Louis, 

 New Orleans, Chicago and elsewhere. 

 He is one of the original flower show 

 men and will go to Chicago with the idea 

 of promoting a flower show for Omaha 

 next year. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market 



"Mum's the word" with everybody. 

 Stock is plentiful, especially in white. 

 Trade has been quiet and this accounts 

 for the piling up of stock. Funeral work 

 moves most of the white flowers. Carna- 

 tions are still short in stem and do not 

 bring a good price. A little outdoor 

 stock is still on the market, but not 

 enough to hurt the other sales. The 

 weather is still mild and few frosts have 

 occurred so far. 



Variota Notes. 



The last meeting prior to the mum 

 show to be keld in Buffalo was held a 

 few days ago at C. T, Guenther's, at 

 Hamburg. Final arrangements were 

 made. The affair is to be held at the 

 Iroquois hotel. A banquet will follow 

 for the members in the evening. The 

 club expects all the members to turn 

 out, for much good stock will be on 

 exhibition and everybody will be well 

 taken care of. 



Bulb planting has started in full 

 swing and a lot of work is being done. 



Charles Sandiford has grown a fine lot 

 of pot mums for the show. He also has 

 a fine lot of orchids in bloom. 



Joe Striet, grower for S. A. Anderson, 

 has his begonias in fine shape and will 

 send a sample of his stock to the Chicago 

 show. E. A. S.
