logue of bulbs, plants and seeds; IncludluK such 

 stock as gladioli, petunias, pansies, delphiniums, 

 geraniums, etc., with a few specialties in veg- 

 etables, sucli as tomatoes, cucumbers and com. 

 A large proportion of the varieties were orig- 

 inated by Mr. Diener; the gladioli, he states, 

 ar« all of his own production. 



Holmes-Xethenoan Seed Co., Canton, 0. — 

 "Holco Quality Seeds," an illustrated 06-page 

 catalogue, in a colored cover. Besides large 

 stocks of seeds, in which farm and vegetable 

 crops are especially well represented, the book 

 otFers extensive lists of implements and supplies, 

 also bulbs, roots, roses and some of the favorite 

 shrubs. The cental system of quoting seed 

 prices has been adopted, as "It is exact and fair 

 to all, and permits quicker and more accurate 

 parcel post rating." 



Carnation Support Co., Connersville, Ind. — A 

 neat little circular, called by the company its 

 "latest orange and black folder," and telling 

 succinctly about the "self- tying flower supports 

 for roses, carnations and chrysanthemums," with 

 the "never-slip loop." 



Siohaird Lohrmann, San Rafael, Cal. — Illus- 

 trated catalogue of dahlias, with cultural direc- 

 tions; sixteen pages and cover. The stock offered 

 comprises, first, varieties originated by Mr. Lohr- 

 mann; second, the "best of recent introductions 

 of other growers," and, third, a general collec- 

 tion. 



J. Bolgiano tc Son, Baltimore, Md. — An inter- 

 esting, freely illustrnted 88-page catalogue of 

 seeds, bulbs, roots, plants, tools, fertilizers and 

 miscellaneous supplies. The cultural directions 

 for each crop are brief and explicit. The colored 

 pictures on the cover represent a pleasing com- 

 bination of patriotic and horticultural ideals. 

 This is especially true of the central view on the 

 back of the cover, which is a clever moderniza- 

 tion of "The Spirit of '76." 



OMAHA, NEB. 



Without doubt this has been the big- 

 gest December and Christmas trade 

 ever known here. The growers have 

 been getting good prices for their flow- 

 ers, double the prices of previous years. 

 Roses have been more plentiful than 

 carnations. Ferns and blooming plants 

 and made-up baskets have sold well 

 also. The public seemed to realize that 

 azaleas could not be had and the florists 

 look forward to the same appreciation 

 of conditions for the Easter trade in 

 respect to Easter. lilies, as none will be 

 grown in Omaha for Easter. 



Holly and mistletoe were good, but 

 double the price of former years. Christ- 

 mas morning brought a fine snow, with 

 zero weather. We have had fine weath- 

 er throughout the month, in fact. Fu- 

 neral work is still in strong demand, but 

 we are hoping for relief soon. 



All the annual state meetings at Lin- 

 coln, including that of the State Flo- 

 rists' Society, which was to have been 

 held January 21, with a flower show, 

 have been called off or postponed by the 

 State Board of Health on account of 

 the epidemic of influenza. L. H. 



Sterling, 111.— Roy E. Shelly, who 

 grows vegetables for the market, in- 

 tends to embark in the seed trade. He 

 also plans to grow gladioli and other 

 tuberous plants next season.
