THE WASHINGTON SEASON. 

 Despite the warm, murky weather 

 which has prevailed almost ever since 

 Thanksgiving, prices have not dropped. 

 Everywhere trade is brisk, and with 

 the opening of Congress on the 9th 

 inst., the retailer will have no time to 

 loaf. Violets still continue phenomen- 

 ally scarce., and green is at a pre- 

 mium, especially plumosus, but with 

 most other things the supply is fully 

 equal to the demand.

 married on the afternoon of December

J. K. Allen, the well-known whole- 

 sale florist of New York, has been re- 

 appointed by the Mayor of Kearney,

 est in the Leonard Coates Nursery Co.,

 tus, and will have 528.000 of this tree 

 for the coming season.

 liams. After dinner the happy couple 

 left for Cvnthiana, Ky., to visit the 

 parents of 'the groom. The wedding 

 was a private affair, but nevertheless 

 there was a large gathering of rela- 

 tives present, and the home was beau- 

 tifully decorated with smilax and 

 chrysanthemums.
