OFFICE OF HILL HOME NURSERIES,

TADMoRE, o., Feb. 90, 1879.
EDS. EMPORIA NEWS your issue
of February 81, we regret to see that our
agents have seen fit to enter into news
paper war with Mr.. Milliken, in which
our name and nurseries were used without
consultation with us. In our short visit
to your city in December last we were
confined to our hotel nearly all the time
by the binding storms; and, although
we failed to make the acquaintance of
Mr.. Milliken, we did become acquainted
with some of your leading business men,
with whom We were much pleased. Our
leaving for home on December 90, while
the snow still covered the ground, pre-
vented us from seeing your country at
its best, and we hope at no distant day to
have better opportunity TO scan your
beautiful prairies and fertile valleys.
Some controversy appears to have arts
en- among horticulturalists regarding the
"Conover" grape. 1t seems now, upon
investigation, in our nurserymen's asso-
citation here, that the "Conover" will
prove to be synonym for the Lady" a
very fine, new white grape.
Having imported pear stocks from
France every year since 1864, and having
planted large orchards with trees raised
udOn said stalks, we are firm in the be-
lief, from such experience, that trees SO
grown come into bearing earlier than
from our native stocks, ard we believe
make harder trees.
Kansas is a wide and fertile state
needing millions of trees each year
scarcely a 1.-THE of which can yet be furn
ished grown in the state; and we fiatter
ourselves that by fair dealing with oul
customers we can secure and hold al
least a fair proportion of the trade. We
hope to deliver such grade of fine stock
this spring as has seldom been shipped
to your state. Respectfully,

the right side the mantle falls straight,
without any trimmings down the side
seam of the skirt. 1t is trimmed with two
plaitings of caroubier faille, made into a
shell-shaped trimming and a plating on
Bretonne lace. From the left side come
two black satin scarfs which are twisted
together, and then taken to the right
and fastened to the end of the court man.
tie. The waist, which is of ''indienne
orientale," is cut in rounded low neck,
and laces up the back. 1t is pointed back
and front. The left side is cut up over
the hip, andythe right side forms kind of
scarf, falling straight and terminating
about ten inches from the lower part of
the skirt, under many loops OF ribbon.
Over the waist, also lacing in the back,
is black satin "corselet." On the sides,
the back of the waist were the scarf cross,
and on the left shoulder are loops of
black and red satin ribbon, with the ends
fastened in gilt tagged pieces. In the hair
are she'll comb and flowers.
The style of dress worn at the Grand
Opera House in Paris is half evening
dress, that is to say, light silks and ia
brics open in front; flower is in the hair.
Low neck is mostly worn by foreign la
dies, and by Parsiennes. A style Of toilet
which has been much worn is "mousse-
line de PInde," with small fsunces
bordered with white point desprit" lace
for the skirt, and the habit "Letoriere" of
of moire antique in such light shades as
pink, blue, amber, and silvery lilac. This
habit is made for evening wear, cut
square in the neck, and closing from the
middle down by means of two rows of
very handsome buttons. From the waist
the habit opens half vest, which is also
open, aud made of very light changeable
satin. 1t is embroidered with gold and
silver chenille. The habit "Letoriere'
has white lace revers and sleeve trim
mings of the same. When the habit is
made of dark material the revers are re-
placed by lace neck-tie. These habits,
when made of plush, are to be very fash
ionable for day wear, with skirts in the
same color or in contrasting hue. They
are in several shapes. The Ietoriere'
shape has the small vest for day wear,
and satin embroidered with gold for eve
ming use. Larg ecollars and cuffs are used
with these waists. The basque is not
very long in the back. The habit "Cre-
guy" has paniers, sometimes of ruby OF
are forentine green plush, and can
be worn over either satin skirt, trimmed
on the sides with plush blows, or over
different colored cachemire skirts. This
shape of garment does not enlarge the
figure, as the paniers are placed on the
side, near the back, and the front forms
a fiat vest. For dinner dresses many half
trains are made, which are plated in the
back, near the knee, forming fan-shape.

While the coal famine progresses dealers

powerless to reap the rich harvest in
