Christmas Business Best Ever. 



Despite the extremely cold woatlior 

 that prevailed all of last week, the 

 flower and plant business did not seem 

 to suffer in the least; in fact, from what 

 I can learn, most of the retailers think 

 it the best Christmas ever experienced 

 by them. Stock was never more plenti- 

 ful, nor the quality better. Poinsettias 

 and cvclnniens wcro the loaders in pot 

 plants, while well filled and tastefully ar- 

 ranged baskets sold nicely. Roses were 

 fine and the demand for them good, with 

 Russell and Killarney taking the lead. 

 Carnations were good and brought good 

 prices. Taper Whites, sweet peas, vio- 

 lets and stevias were in abundance. 

 Holly, however, was scarce, and the 

 quality poor. 



Various Notes. 



"In anticipation of an unusual Christ- 

 mas rush, T loaded up extra heavily with 

 stock of every description, and I am 

 mighty glad that I did, as the quantity 

 of stock sold far exceeded my expecta- 

 tions," stated Lee Larman, the Fonte- 

 nelle hotel florist. He has one of the 

 neatest stores to be found in Omaha. 



Miss Reba McNamara states that she 

 firmly believes the volume of business 

 done at Christmas was fifty to seventy- 

 five per cent ahead of last year's.
