OMAHA. 



Cliiistmas trade in Omalia was quite 

 satisfactory in every respect except one. 

 and that one — the weather— bothers 

 every florist throughout the breadth of 

 the "land. We had three weeks of dark 

 weather prior to Dee. 19, and then came 

 snow with the thermometer register- 

 ing zero and below. The day before 

 ClTristmas was tlie worst of all. Eight 

 o'clock a. m. showed 6 below and ohl 

 Eolus, with his Arctic blasts, allowed 

 the highest point for the day to be but 

 8 abov'e. Such weather naturally kept 

 many buvers indoors and many stores 

 would otherwise have done 50 per cent 

 more business. However, everyone is 

 satisfied with what he has done. 



Flowering plants sold much better 

 than last year, the call being principally 

 for azaletis and prinu-oses, while cycla- 

 mens, cinerarias and potted narcissus 

 sold well too. Poinsettias as a plant 

 or in pans with stevias and other flowers 

 sold as well as expected. Many of the 

 novelties seen in Eastern stores cannot 

 be found here. Tlie cause? I would 

 not venture to say. May be our people 

 are (oo conservative; however, we haven't 



them. 



The prices are about the same as last 

 year, probably a little lower, and the 

 supply iibout equal to the demand, with 

 violets the scarcest in years. Beauties 

 sold at from $4.50 to .$15 per dozen; 

 first quality of other sorts of roses at 

 from $3 to $3..50 down to $1.50. Carna- 

 tions sold at from $1 to $1.50 per dozen; 

 hyacinths and narcissus at from 75 

 cents to $1 per dozen; violate at 75 cents 

 to $1.50 per bunch of 25; stevias at 

 from 50 to 75 cents per dozen. Poin- 

 settias as a cut bloom sold only fairly 

 well at 50 and 60 cents each.

WHITE OAK. 



,1 am in a position to buy a lot of 

 white oak lumber cheap. Will it be 

 equally as durable for benches in a car- 

 nation house as cypress? C. G. F. 



In answer to C. G. F. white oak will 

 make good bench material and will last 

 equally as well, or better, than the grade 

 of cypress ordinarily used for benches.
