John Nicholson is already beginning to
plan his spring gardening. 1t doesn't take
much to start him off and few days like
we've been having are quite sufficient
TO get him going.
John is probably the greatest catch-as-
catch-can rose cultivator in Omaha. He
has a big yard surrounding his manse at
$500 California street, and he knows more
about the habits of wild roses, and tame
ones, too, than any other man of his
weight and size. He makes speciality
of hybrids, which, you know Eve didn't
know till he told us) are roses grated
on to briar roots. 81 raise fifty-seven
varieties of en-" he remarks.
Well, these few warm days started
John on his favorite indoor sport of study
ing the seed catalogs. He gets them from
Philadelphia and New York and Oshkosh
and Kokomo and everywhere. 1t is
useless for a seed catalog to try to escape
John.
"Fe. fl, 70, fog,
1 smell the blood of seed catalog."
Thus he sings and then, a brief chase
and first thing you know he has caught
the catalog and Is gloating over pictures
of Artophloxidiae Observation-Disclosures
and other lovely flowers that always

bloom so big and beautiful and profuse
in the pages of the catalogs.
Nor does he confine his researches to
flowers. He also falls a victim to the pic
lures of gargantuan watermelons, CYCLIC
pean radishes. colossal cabbages, gigan-
tic potatoes and circus-poster lettuce.
He's busy making out his list already.
All day long he tolls over the books and
waits on lawyers as deputy clerk in the
United States court in the federal
building.
But i'm the evening. when the toll of
the day is over, he goes happily home
and engages in his favorite indoor sport
of studying the catalogs or his favorlte
outdoor sport of grooming his flowers
and garden truck. as the weather may
dictate.
While his neighbors are putting on
smoking jackets and settling down with
their three for-a-half seegars, or backing
the car out of the garage, John puts on
his overalls and backs the wheelbarrow
out of its garage and pursues the even
tenor of his way.
And you'd never dream he's so years
old. That's what that bloomin' Scotch
man is, by Jimmy. Don't worry and
raise flowers" is the secret of 1t, he
