 recovered, but is getting along nicely.

OMAHA. 



Heavy Loss by Hail. 



Omaha was visited by heavy hail April 

 28, the worst we ever had. All the north 

 side florists suffered badly, and April 30, 

 to make it historic, a cold wave set in 

 and the temperature dropped to 25 de- 

 grees above zero. Charles Edcrer bought 

 ,$180 worth of muslin to cover his houses, 

 and others used this and other materials, 

 hut little did it help on account of the 

 high wind. Thousands of dollars' worth 

 of stock was damaged, on top of the 

 great loss of glass. 



Hess & Swoboda lost between 40,000 

 and 50,000 feet of glass. 



A. Donaghue puts his loss between 

 25,000 and 30,000 feet of glass. 



Charles Edercr suffered a breakage of 

 18,000 .to 20,000 feet. 



Paul B. Floth reports his loss as be- 

 tween 8.000 and 10,000 square feet. 



Paul Paulson found 8,000 out of 10,- 

 000 feet broken. 



Geo. Zimmer lost about eighty boxes. 



8. B. Faulkner counted up a breakage 

 of 2.000 square feet, and K^ug'^^ park 

 also lost about forty boxes of glass. 



The Sprague Street Greenhouses lost 

 1,000 feet of glass. 



.). W. & E. S. Arnold lost from 8,000 

 to 10,000 square feet of glass. 



F. Blondirs reports 2,000 feet of 

 breakage. 



Geo. Joslyn found it took forty boxes 

 of glass to reglaze. 



It is a sad sight to visit these green- 

 houses. It will take months of work to 

 replace the glass and the money loss is 

 thousands of dollars. 



Nebraska has not seen such a cold 

 spring for the last thirty-eight years. 

 Warm weather will bring out a good

^lay day seems to have asserted its 

 right to sunshine and decent weather, 

 after the most disagreeable Aj»ril ever 

 known in this vicinity. Notwithstan<l- 

 ing snow, rain, sleet, hail and frost last 

 week, we fortunately escaped the wide- 

 spread destruction which the west and 

 south have suflFered, and we hear of no 

 serious damage here from the winds and 

 storms, except the general demoralization 

 in every branch of the business and esj)e- 

 cially in the retail and wholesale cut 



flower sections. All prices tumbled, and 

 the average return to the growers was 

 unseasonably low. It now seems that 

 present prices will be likely to prevail 

 until Decoration day, with the clean-ups 

 of the suritlus that must come with the 

 better weather, at even lower rates, as 

 is usual at this season of the year. 

 Since a week ago there has been no 

 change worth noting. Violets may be 

 eliminated from the list, for there are 

 few arriving, and quality is not deserv- 

 ing of honorable mention. You may 

 write "Ichabod" over against them, for 

 their glory has departed. All the lilies 

 are abundant and the prices lower. Lilac 

 from the south is delayed because of the 

 freezing weather. Arbutus now comes 

 from local sources. In a few days the 

 lilac and dogwood and apple and cherry
