Display of Fruits, Flowers and the
More substantial Farm Products.
The Bluff tract and Midways are nearly
completed. The chief points of interest are
so far advanced as to give to the visitors
the impression of what everything is to
be. The Horticultural building is nearly
filed with elegant exhibits. Those of a
horticultural nature are the products of
Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Montana and Hi
nois, and consist of the very choicest fruits
obtainable. The large and elegant display
of Los Angeles county, California, occupies
a prominent place. besides being a most
attractive feature. The different florists of
Nebraska have splendid collections of
plants, bushes, palms, etc., which, owing
to the position they occupy under the dome.
adds materially to their appearance as well
as that of the entire interior. The moss COW
cred mounds of earth, the beautiful beds of
flowers, over which hangs the large foliage,
all add to the richness of the display. The
large century plant of w. J. Hesser of
Plattsmouth, Neb., was transported to the
interior of the building yesterday afternoon
and now occupies the space directly in the
center under the dome. This is a magnifi-
cent specimen of the vegetable kingdom
and is one of the largest hereabouts.
