The Weekly Florists' Review* 



OCTOBEU 20, 1010. 



OMAHA. 



The Market. 



Omaha is still on the map and a busy 

 place for the retail florist. With the ad- 

 vance of autumn and colder weather, 

 trade has opened up in full force. Stock 

 is more abundant. Carnations are bet- 

 ter. There are plenty of roses and chrys- 

 anthemums in the market. We have had 

 our fall festivities, including the social 

 ball at the Coliseum, October 7, which 

 always is the grandest of the season 

 and this year seemed to excel all others. 

 The decorations were fine, consisting of 

 a large number of large palms, wild 

 smilax, asparagus and festooning, as 

 well as American Beauties and chrys- 

 anthemums. There was an attendance 

 of about 2,000. There was a marked 

 increase in corsage and hand bouquets 

 of orchids, valley and violets, as well as 

 all kinds of roses. 



Various Notes. 



The Douglas county fair was held here 

 in connection with the carnival, with 

 fine displays of cut flowers and plants. L. 

 Henderson, Paul Floth and A. Hooge 

 made exhibits and carried away most of 

 the prizes. 



The Omaha Florists ' Club held its an- 

 nual meeting October 13 and elected of- 

 ficers as follows for the ensuing year: 

 President, George Swoboda; vice-presi- 

 dent, Oscar Herman; secretary, Lewis 

 Henderson; treasurer, George Soransen; 

 trustees, P. Floth, A. Hooge and Charley 

 Green. 



Mr. and Mrs. Paul Floth gave their 

 annual elaborate supper and entertain- 

 ment October 6 to the Douglas county 

 floral directors. 



A. Hooge is busy completing a new 

 greenhouse. 



S. K. Faulkner is bringing in some 

 fine violets and so is George Soransen.

ALBANY, N. Y. 



Three new members were added to the 

 list at the last meeting of the Albany 

 Florists' Club. Tickets for the second 

 annual flower show, to be held in the 

 state armory in November, were dis- 

 tributed and a report of progress was 

 made by the special committee in 

 charge. 



The evening was enlivened by discus- 

 sions on trade subjects, in which many 

 of the members took part. Chairman 

 Frederick Goldring was able to throw 

 considerable light upon carnation rot 

 by reporting his personal observations. 

 It is proposed to make the question box 

 an important feature of every meeting.
