OMAHA. 



Christmas Items. 



The florists here have all done a fine 

 business, with an increase over any other 

 season. Stocks of plants and cut flow- 

 ers, which were in the minority Christ- 

 mas Eve, were eagerly sought for on 

 Cliristmas morning, and many florists 

 had to refuse orders, being sold out. 



Prices: Brides, Maids and Golden 

 Gates brought from $2 to $3; Beauties 

 ranged from $0 to $18; Carnations from 

 75 cents to .$1.50 per dozen, and fancies 

 higher; Violets, To cents upwards per 

 bunch. 



Potted plants were called for very lib- 

 erally, as the weather was so they could 

 be handled w'ith safety. 



Hess & Swoboda disposed of a fine lot 

 of azaleas and quantities of cut flowers. 



Lewis Henderson had a fine display of 

 poinsettias and did a good business. 



Peterson Bros,' windows were finely 

 decorated, cyclamen being the main fea- 

 ture. 



A. Donaghue displayed good taste, as 

 his windows looked very inviting, beino- 

 tastefully arranged. 



S, B, Stewart had a large stock on 

 hand and made a fine showing of cut 

 flowers and florists' supplies. 



Christie & Paulsen report a good 

 trade at good prices. 



S. F. Faulkner, of 40th and Lcaven- 

 woith streets, had a fine lot of roses and 

 violets on the market. 



Last but liv no means least, our neigh- 

 bor, J. F. Wilcox, did a rushing whole- 

 sale business, along witli his retail 

 trade, and deserves credit for his taste- 

 fully arranged store and well managed 

 greenhou.ses. 



George Swoboda has a new helper at 

 his home — a fine boy — whom he is train- 

 ing already to follow in his papa's foot- 

 steps as an expert florist and bowler.
