NEW ORLEANS NOTES. 



Trade is picking up considerably 

 now in the stores. Nearly all the 

 pleasure-seekers are home, and flower 

 buying is quite brisk. Very few local 

 chrysanthemums are ready to cut yet, 

 and the retailers have to get much of 

 their supply from norinern points. 

 The quality ot these so far has only 

 been very middling. The flower-buy- 

 ing public in this city will pay the 

 highest price, but they demand the 

 best quality, and all second quality 

 flowers mo\e slowly. Social gaities 

 are not very active yet, but fall open- 

 ings by several large department 

 stores have used large quantities of 

 palms and cut flowers. The .Metairie 

 Kidge Co. had two large openings last 

 week that called for some of the larg- 

 est and finest palms in the city. Are- 

 cas and kentias, 10 to 12 feet high, 

 were used profusely as well as bay 

 trees, cut flowers and golden rod 

 grown in boxes. U. J. Virgin had a 

 big opening which used up over five 

 hundred palms. A central feature was 

 a large Fleur de Lys design fully 6 

 feet high, made of carnations, chrys- 

 anthemums and tuberoses. C. Eble's 

 new store under the GrunewaJd Hotel 

 is as line as anything in town 



The growers are busy ou the chrys- 

 anthemum crop at present. The 

 amount of work these flowers call for 

 iiei-e makes a fancy selling figure a 

 necessity. Thiips, red spider, aphis 

 and mealy bug have to be fought right 

 up until the time the flower is out. 

 The crop this year is about the aver- 

 age, and the supply will about meet 

 the demand. The lai'gest part of the 

 crop is grown in the open ground, and 

 as soon as the ilowers show color they 

 are covered with cotton or sash to pro- 

 tect them from the heavy dews. Very 

 creditable flowers are produced in this 

 way, although the finish is not equal 

 to those grown in houses all summer. 



On invitation from Mr. Papworth, 

 the members of the New Orleans Hor- 

 ticultural Society visited the green- 

 houses of the Metairie Ridge Nursery 

 Co. on the afternoon of Sunday, the 

 24ih, for the purpose of inspecting the 

 stock. The display of chrysanthemums 

 was superb, roses, palms, ferns, bego- 

 nias and oichids were in fine shape, 

 and Mr. Papworth was congratulated 

 on his success. Refreshments on a lib- 

 eral scale wers2 provided in a portiom 

 of the large shed screened from the 

 vuLg.ar gaze. 



The market men are not doing a 

 great deal these days. J. H. Menard, 

 one of the old guard, attends market 

 the whole season and is unique in that 

 he never complains about poor busi- 

 ness. He grows a miscellaneous stock 

 and makes a specialty of Ficus repens, 

 which he raises from layers by the 

 thousand, and yet has difficulty in sup- 

 plying the demand. This vine is used 

 here with fine effect for the same pur- 

 poses as Anipelopsis Veitchii is used 

 for in the north. 



Geraniums in the gardens have been 

 largely killed out this summer and the 

 market men are anticipating and pre- 

 paring for a good demand for this 

 flower in the spring. 



B. M. Wichers of Gretna i eports that 

 he has just completed the shipping of 

 orders he took at the recent conven- 

 tion in Cincinnati.
