NEW OBLEAN& 



The Market. 



Business throughout the month was 

 fair. Bedding stock was a prominent 

 item ^1 the market. Home-grown cut 

 flowen are' still -scarce. The last of 

 the Boman hyacinths will soon be cut 

 and narcissi are not yet- .in- bloom. 

 Grand Mogul is coming into favor «nd 

 is extensively used for funeral work. 

 Single outdoor violets are arriving in 

 quantities and of good quality. ]^om 

 now until March 4 is the time of our 

 carnival and although the usual parades 

 and ball9 have been abandoned, a week 

 of' grand opera and many social func- 

 tions will help to make up for the omis- 

 sion. l*he florists expect good business, 

 at any rate. Although February was a 

 month of mild weather, with no frost at 

 all, it was too wet to do much outdoor 

 planting and local plant growers are 

 likely to do a rushing business all of 

 next month. - 



Olub Meetings. '.^ 



The New Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its first monthly meeting 

 since November, February 20, at 419 

 Charles street. In the absence of Presi- 

 .dent'C. Eble, Vice-president J. Bernard 

 presided. The attendance was unusu- 

 ally large. A communication from the 

 Federal Horticultural Board dealing 

 with the plant embargo was read and 

 its contents discussed. The members 

 decided to take no action. 



Paul Abele was appointed to repre- 

 sent the society at the meeting called 

 to organize the New Orleans Garden 

 Club. 



Frank Bieth was elected a member 

 of the Horticultural Society. 



Bichard Eichling exhibited a speci- 

 men of Adiantum gloriosum and one of 

 the Creole Easter lily, both in 6-inch 

 pots. They were pronounced as fine as 

 any ever grown here. 



Henry Mische showed specimens of 

 gladioli in bloom, which were excellent. 



For the purpose of making New Or- 

 leans the garden city of the United 

 States, a meeting was called February 21 

 by Professor B. S. Cocks. The follow- 

 ing spoke at the meeting in favor of the

Various Notes. 



Peter Chopin's store and show houses 

 always look attractive. This has been 

 a banner season here. 



Charles Eble has especially fine on- 

 cidium, with extra large flower spikes. 

 His trade is increasing so much that he 

 is planning to build new greenhouses for 

 roses and he will also try carnations, 

 although these have not done well 

 here, on account of climatic conditions. 



C. W. Eichling 's force is always busy.
