Boston tried the 50 cent admission 

 plan at this year's chrysanthemum 

 show, with 25 cent rate on Sunday and 

 It proved a success. 25 cents has 

 been the maximum heretofore. The 

 receipts exceeded last year's by $300.00. 



MISSISSIPPI MATTERS. 



This sipction of the couuliy is show- 

 iiitj jitrnng sisns of waking up to the 

 opportunities oltered in the floricul- 

 lural line. Pass Christian and Biloxi 

 are two famous summer resorts on the 

 coast and a good business is done the 

 whole season, both in plants and cut 

 f'.owers. J. B. .\damE has been estab- 

 lished at the former place. for a num- 

 ber of years and a year ago added a 

 nice rose house to his plant, which has 

 been a success from the start. At Bi- 

 loxi Geo. D. Mahn, a former grower 

 of New Orleans, ventured in business 

 about I wo years ago and has now an 

 established trade. Washingtonia ro- 

 busta and Phoenix Canariensis are two 

 palms largely planted for outside deco- 

 ration, and both of these growers keep 

 a supply of all sizes. 



Columbus, an inland town of about 

 12.000 inhabitants, boasts of two pro- 

 gressive florists. T. G. Owen has a 

 range of 125.000 sq. ft. of glass, devoted 

 chieliy to roses and carnations, which 

 he grows in good shape. This cut goes 

 to Memphis, Birmingham, New Or- 

 leans and the smaller towns in the 

 state. The Columbus Floral Co. has a 

 lange of 10,000 ft. devoted to the re- 

 tail trade, and both plants and cut 

 llowers are raised. Nearby towns hav- 

 ing no florist draw heavily on this 

 firm at times, and never meet with 

 disappointment. P.. P. Kline is the 

 manager and takes pride in the re- 

 Rult.s achieved At Booneville, in the 

 northern part of the state, some lady 

 florists grow a big lot of chrysanthe- 

 mums and grow them well. They are 

 retailed from the finest stores in New 

 Orleans and certainly don't have to 

 blu.sh when placed alongside the finest 

 from Chicago. Jackson, the capital 

 city, has one establishment started a 

 year ago and the venture is succeeding. 

 At Greenville a new modern range has 

 just been built and there is no fear 

 foi- its future. Meridian, an important 

 railroad centre, supports two florists — 

 Mrs. Watts and -J. W. Marshall, Jr. 

 The latter this last summer added two 

 small houses of Lord & Burnham ma- 

 terial, for roses. 



The soil in this state is eminently 

 suited for roses, and where irrigation 

 can be supplied in times of drouth a 

 great cut can be had all season from 

 the out.'-ide. Indoors the plants show 

 remarkable vigor and certain varieties 

 like Kaiserin and W. R. Smith pro- 

 duce flo'vers that can not be surpassed 

 anywhere. No matter how hard the 

 plant is cut it comes up smiling for 

 inr;re. stronger than ever. The very 

 grip of the soil Inspires confidence in 

 a grower. 



There are many small towns yet 

 without a florist and a grower with a 

 small capital need have no hesitancy 

 ill embarking in business in any of 

 them. 



NEW ORLEANS NOTES. 



J. A. Newsham has built a handsome 

 show room in front of his place and is 

 contemplating adding a rose house and 

 orchid house. H. Papworth was at the 

 Chica.go show this week as one of the 

 .judges. 



The weather for the last two weeks 

 has been exceptionally warm and all 

 outside flowers are blooming finely, 

 looses, especially the Pink and White 

 Cochets. are producing blooms that 

 surpass anything grown under glass.

All Saints' day trade this year was 

 rather a disappointment. The regular 

 stores and growers did about the usual 

 amount of business, only two — J. A. 

 Newsham and Metairie Ridge Nursery 

 Co. reporting a substantial increase.. 

 The chrysanthemums received from the 

 north were not nearly so fine as the 

 hcrae-raJsed ones, or the ones received 

 from points in Mississippi and Ala- 

 bama. The retail prices ranged from 

 $3 to 110 per dozen, the biggest quan- 

 tity being sold at -$5 and $6. The truck 

 farmers and other small growers who 

 raise some chrysanthemums for this 

 holiday, and lieiiend on the markets for 

 their outlet were badly stung, many of 

 them having to haul the bulk of their 

 cut home, even after slaughteiing the 

 lirices. Some refused .good wholesale 

 offers a few days previous, which made 

 the dose all the more bitter.
