,. frowsts, for at least "fifteen per cftnt 

 .-*'" will be exported to other smaller onion 

 growing countries. Considering that 

 last year American growers used over 

 50,000 pounds of Bermuda onion seeds, 

 and. that demand will be this fall some- 

 where around 45,000 pounds, it is natu- 

 ral to presume that many onion growers 

 will be short of seeds, and consequently, 

 the general Texas Bermuda onion crop 

 in 1912 will be smaller, with corre- 

 spondingly higher prices." 



OMAHA. 



Club Outing. 



The Omaha Florists' Club held its 

 fourteenth annual picnic July 27, after- 

 noon .and evening, at Courtland beach. 

 This was one of the most successful 

 and well attended picnics in the club's 

 history. The weather was fino. Tue 

 bowline match between Omaha and 

 Council Bluffs was interesting,^ with 

 teams of ten men on each side. Two 

 games were played. The first the 

 Bluffs won and the second the Omahas. 

 The Bluffs had a few pins in their 

 favor. Time did not permit the third 

 game. Amusements of various kinds 

 were engaged in. The girls' race T\a8 

 won by Miss Soranson, and the boys' 

 race by Perry Fallis. A fine lunch was 

 served, with ice cream and other re- 

 freshments, all going home at a late 

 hour with pleasant thoughts of » fine 

 and sociable time. 



.'■ Various Notes. 



Flowers are of poor quality and not 

 plentiful on account of the hot and 

 dry weather. Hardly any of the out- 

 door flowers are available. The demand 

 for flowers is mostly for funerals. 



The florists arc having their vacation 

 at home in the shade, some fixing up 

 their greenhouses, while others may be 

 off to some mountain resort. 



L. Henderson has remodeled and 

 painted his store and others are about 

 to do the same. 



P. Floth is rebuilding some green- 

 houses. 



Hess & Swoboda have made many 

 improvements at their greenhouses, 

 adding a range of new houses. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. Lang, of Chicago, 

 were visitors in Omaha last week, corn- 

 ing through from a three weeks' trip 

 from the mountains of Colorado, Denver 

 and Manitou. L. H. 



NEW TOBK. 



The Market. 



Now the aster dominates the market. 

 Next, it will be the gladiolus. In fact, 

 already shoals of both, especially the 

 aster, are arriving. These, and the 

 water lilies, make up the window exhib- 

 its, backed as usual by a grand variety 

 of ferns, from Bostons to cibotiums. 

 The supply of roses and carnations is 

 .short and of good stock there is com- 

 paratively none. The new stock of these 

 is limited and this is fortunate, for 

 there is practically no demand. For the 

 best grade of American Beauties 25 

 cents appears to be top. A few top- 

 notch Killarney bring 4 to 5 cents each. 

 There is little of the surplus on the 

 street, most of the venders having de- 

 parted for the summer resorts. 



The orchid supply is sufficient for 

 all requirements and there is no change 

 in prices, 50 to 60 cents being the limit 

 for the selected gigas. The price of
