TIio west grows as many garden nerds n any other section of the country, aml Omaha, gatoway to the fur west, play an Important part In tho sain of those seeds.

This firm pvcks, cleans and ships gar den seeds to all states of tho union, A large number of various hinds of seeds, including melon, squash and pumpkin, are exported by this Omaha firm. Probably moro sweet corn Is grown In DoUglas county than In any other county In the state, so It becomes a natural func tion of the Nebraska Seed company to handle a largo quantity of this seed. More than 1.000 bushels of onion sets have been Bhlppcd out this season by the Nebraska Seed company to all states of the west and north. On rs are now being loaded for shipment to Colorado, Michi gan and Montana. Alfnlfn Seed Trade l.nrKC Of the larger seeds, such ns grasses, clover, alfalfa. It U noted that Omaha handles an enormous quantity. The Ne braska Seed company Sells more alfalfa seed than any other firm In tho country. Last week thrco cars were sent to New York state, four to Wisconsin and two to Michigan. Orders for many other cars are now being filled. The alfalfa seed s brought direct from the farmers to Omaha It Is then cleaned, packed and shipped. The cleaning of seeds Is dono In a la rue plant owned by tho local firm. It Is tho woit complete system for rleanlng alfalfa and other seeds that there Is in this part of tho country. The cleaners arc so finely adjusted that seed having a standard of only 05 per cent aro brought to a purity of IKtV. per cent by this cleaning plant. For many years most of the blue grass came from Kentucky, uhd the Impression still exists that that southern itato Is now the principal supply for this variety; but the facts are that Nebraska and Mis sourt furnish much of this seed, nud the Nebraska Seed company handles a larger part of the product sold in the wrist Artistic and beautiful, and splendid an a model of lighting, Is the system which the Omaha Gas company has Installed In the Model Store on the stage of the Au ditorium at the great Made-ln-Nebraska exposition, which opened Wednesday evening. Hcyond the adjectives of de ception ts this showing, which Is neat, perfectly arranged and so assembled as to give, one a full conception of what can be accomplished by the Omaha Gas company in lighting a store or In ar ranging the Indirect lighting of Omaha. Tho model store Is one of the unique displays at the big show, the various parts of tho little place being arranged by different Omaha manufacturers. The gas company arranged the lighting, and fitted up a window system In which the uso of the Indirect system Is shown to the best of advantage. The celling lights also aro placed so that every visitor Is at onco Impressed with the beauty of the scheme and with the advantages that the clear, firm, white gas light gives. The window lights of the store are so placed. and so neatly grouped that the model store window makes the average person wonder why more of the city merchants do not use gas to make their displays better. I-'lnc Store HIkmth. In addition to the model store lighting, the gaacompany also has a booth near tua stage of tha Auditorium on tho north !du. Here is Bhown a model kitchen, like that represented In the picture below. This little booth Is really a picture of comfort, showing the housewife that Bhe can get away from much of the drudgery of home work by using gas, which is clcn, easy to me and economical. It Is freely admitted by all that the moat annoying work a woman has to do In the home Is that work which require heat. It Is seldom thaKeven the thinking man considers this fact he Is the one that lets his wife lose her health and tem per through worKtng over a hot kitchen stove. Wash day. Ironing day and cook Irg every day thesit toke up the greater part of tho work of the week. Tho heat that conies from the coal stove Is even enough to tax the strength of any woman, and It Is getting away from this fire that the gas comes Into play, for It takes away the heat that makes household work' a drudgery. Home nnd Comfort. When a home uses gas for cooking, heating water and Ironing all the In conveniences are removed. It Is the chcapfst fuel. It comes to the home clean from the pipe Its pure blue flomo keeps the pans and kettles clean. Ono need not clean up after using gas-It Is not dirty at all. There Is nothing about Its use to tire the back, to taKc up your time needlessly or to destroy comfort and patience. The heat of summer In the kitchen has no terrors for the wife when gas is used. One can be comfortable, happy nnd healthy by using gas, and those who visit the great Made-ln-Nebraska show will be sure to see1 the exhibit of the Qas company and learn how neat, how clean, how comfortable a home can bo made through using gas. Through Omaha much other seed Ih handled, and in all tho business the big local company Is the principal medium for Its cleaning nnd shipment. In addition to handling garden seeds, this firm also sells chicken food. There are some seeds which are not good for growth and these ato made lnto fine chicken food. Tho firm is Just shipping out thu sixteenth car of mixed seed that has gone out this season. A glimpse at the magnitude of the busi ness done by this concern may be gained from the fact that during tho last season 3,000,000 Holland bulbs were Imported. Three years ago the business In bulbs was not one-tenth this large. Tho Nebraska Seed company has grown, In twenty-two years, from a very small firm to one of the largest In the country, and It now employes more than sixty persons In Its local plant. Because of the great business the company Is forced to carry this large payroll. SELL GOODS JOTHE WORLD Omaha Firms' Territory Covers All Farts of the Globe.
