EvERGREENS FOR CHRISTMAS.
Steamers Bringing Supplies to Wash

The steamers from Potomac river land
ings are bringing into port quantities
Of Christmas trees, holly, running pine
ana other evergreens for holiday deco
rations. but the height of this business
will not be reached until in the latter
part of this week, when the steamers are
expected to reach here with every avail
able inch of freight room filled with
boxes. barrels and crates of evergreen.
Late reports received from down river
say that mistletoe will be very scarce
this season. The country along the river
has been thrashed over by nistietoe
hunters every fall for several years past.
until the country people say that the
evergreen. with its waxen white ber-
ries. has practically disappeared. Some
holly is being brought to the market
here from down river. but 1t is not
over plentiful. particularly the kind Gov
cred with the bright red berries. MANY
families residing here who have relatives
down the river are having pine and
cedar trees shipped to them for Christ
mas use.
