OMAHA. 



Christmas trade was up to the mark; 

 every store man and grower is satis- 

 fied. There seemed to be no favorites. 

 Whatever was offered, if nice ana 

 worth the money, was sold. Some nice 

 Begonia Gloire de Lorraine were seen 

 at A. Donaghue, Jr. 's new store, along 

 with several plants of English holly in 

 tubs. Azaleas and all plants in bloom 

 sold very rapidly; in fact, more pot- 

 plants were sold than ever before. 



The supply of cut flowers was equal 

 to the demand, with carnations leading, 

 a trifle higher than last year. 



Hollv, roping and mistletoe were very 

 plentiful; in fact, a glut of the latter. 

 One commission house disposed of 16,000 

 yards of roping. J. H. B.

s 



BAUR & SMITH, 



This will be sure to become a standard 

 i-onimercial vaTiety on account of its fine 

 color, good form, size, stem and flor- 

 iferousness. Nothing we have ever had 

 m our place could touch it in 'blooniing". 

 every shoot a flower stem and never 

 off crop. Stands a foot above Lawson 

 throuKhout the season and is easy to man- 

 .igt'. The color is much brighter than Joost 

 but not so dark as Lawson in the dark days 

 of winter. It keeps its bright color.
