NEW ORLEANS NOTES. 

 The Holiday Supply. 

 The mercury the past week got down 

 to 32 degrees, but did not injure the 

 tender plants even. About two cool 

 nights followed by the same number 

 of warm, rainy ones is the way the 

 weather man has been serving it up 

 of late. The outlook for Christmas is 

 good. Certainly there never was such 

 a fine and varied collection of flower- 

 ing and foliage plants offered for sale 

 in this city before, and if all goes as 

 expected all hands will rejoice. 



Miscellaneous. 



Abele Bros, are propagating a white 

 perpetual phlox and expect to have 

 enough to offer it to the trade in the 

 spring. J. A. Newsham has installed 

 a new ice box in his show room. The 

 Metairie Ridge Nursery Co. have made 

 connections with the new city filtered 

 water supply whereby they get good 

 pressure and avoid staining the plants, 

 as was the case when they had to de- 

 pend on the dirty water from the 

 bayou. H. Redfeld has just finished 

 a new greenhouse. H. C. Doescher is 

 in a peck of trouble, a serious leak 

 liaving sprung in one of his boilers. 

 His crop of cucumbers is coming along 

 nicely. C. D. Otis of Lake Charles 

 was a visitor this week. He is con- 

 templating building a range of houses.
