WASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



With continued cloudy weather, there 

 is not an overabundance of stock. Busi- 

 ness is improving. Society has been busy 

 and the demand for funeral work still 

 keeps up. 



Various Notes. 



Z. D. Blackistone had the Bonaparte 

 dinner to the President at Kauscher's. 

 The banquet hall was banked with palms, 

 and 100 strings of asparagus were used 

 for a lattice effect in the doorway. 

 Kichmond roses and white lilac were used 

 on the table. 



Gude Bros. Co. did the dinner given by 

 Rej)resentative Olcott, of New York, to 

 the Vice-President-elect, Mr. Sherman. 

 There were forty covers. Among the 

 decorations were garlands of French silk 

 pink illuminated roses; a silver bowl in 

 the center, running over with roses, and 

 a tall silver candelabrum coming up 

 from the bowl, with garlands of roses. 

 Small glass French baskets, filled with, 

 roses, studded the table. Huge Alice 

 blue ribbon bows were used at each end. 

 The drawing room was done in Beauties. 

 I'alms and ferns were banked through- 

 out the house. 



The dinner for General Humphrey was 

 done by Marche & Co., using 800 pink 

 carnations and 1,200 violets. The gen- 

 eral scheme throughout the house was 

 pink and green. This firm also had a 

 blanket for an out-of-town funeral. It 

 was composed of 400 Brides and 300 

 valley, and was very effective. 



George Cooke used that peculiar yel- 

 low-pink sw<^ pea, grown by Theo. 

 Dietrich, for the luncheon at Senator 

 Dupont 's on Sunday, The entire table 

 was in the Dresden effect. 



Small & Sons are showing a fine lot of 

 Keiserskroon and Yellow Prince tulips 

 in their window. 



The Agricultural Department has been 

 experimenting with carnations in solid 

 beds, and claims to have proved this a 

 decided success. 



J. A. Magruder, of the United States 

 Propagating Gardens, has taken out a 

 patent for a waterproof form, shaped 

 and colored like a calyx, for split carna- 

 tions. It does away with the cramped 

 appearance of the ordinary mended 

 calyx. It fits inside the split place, fills

up and gives the flower a larger appear- 

 ance. 



Gude Bros. Co. has a brand new auto- 

 mobile delivery wagon. If this proves a 

 success, several more will be added to 

 their delivery department. 



The coming inauguration will make a 

 lot of work for the florists. The plans 

 for the court of honor and ball, with the 

 street decorations at the capital, will be 

 the most elaborate ever seen here. 



Geo. C. Shaffer has just put in a mir- 

 ror, measuring 9x12 feet, at the back of 

 his counter, with cut glass electric light 

 brackets. He has also added two rooms 

 at the rear of his store. These are fitted 

 up to display jardinieres and vases, giv- 

 ing up the entire floor space in the front 

 to plants and cut stuff. O. O. 



LINCOLN, NEB. 



State Horticultural Society. 



The fortieth annual convention of the 

 Nebraska State Horticultural Society 

 was held here January 19, 20 and 21. 

 The attendance was large, and that it 

 was made up of those interested was 

 shown by the strict attention that was

paid to the matters in hand throughout 

 the entire session. 



The display of flowers and fruits ex- 

 ceeded anything ever before shown at the 

 society's winter session. Exhibits of 

 flowers were made by Henderson, of 

 Omaha; Simanton & Pence, of Falls 

 City; Green, of Fremont, and Dole, of 

 Beatrice. The quality all through was 

 superb and the honors were quite evenly 

 divided. 



Other matters of particular interest to 

 the greenhouse men were the paper on 

 "Cultivation and Care of (.'annas," by 

 Mr. Simanton, and the election of C. H. 

 Green as president of the society and Ed. 

 Williams as second vice-president. 



Mr. Williams served as judge of the
