NEW OBIiEANS, LA. 



The Market. 



While the cut flower market here can- 

 not be said to have taken on any ma- 

 terially new aspect during the last week 

 or so, there has been a decided quicken- 

 ing of the pulse in the arteries of the 

 trade. This has been due to the opening 

 of the new business year and to the 

 slight drop in temperature, with the 

 resultant improvement in tlie quality of 

 the stock available. While variety has 

 been lacking, the market has been well 

 supplied, and culls have been conspicu- 

 ous by their absence. In red roses some 

 good blooms of Milady have been offered, 

 with Mrs. Charles Russell running a close 

 second in favor. Columbia, Sunburst 

 and White Killarnoy have been in good 

 supply, while of strictly home-grown 

 field stock, public favor has run largely 

 to Cochet and Killarney. Local-grown 

 tuberoses still maintain favor and the 

 quality of the cut has thus far shown no 

 falling off. Really first-class gladioli 

 have been scarce and at present the 

 general class of stock may be said to be 

 mediocre. Gentians, with here and there 

 an orchid bloom, serve to break the gen- 

 eral monotony, but the supply is not 

 large and the quality is only fair. 



Field Work. 



Weather conditions have not been fa- 

 vorable for outdoor chrysanthemums and 

 the continued rains are beginning to 

 have their effect. This is, however, not 

 general and some of the crops are quite 

 lip to the standard of previous years. 

 In addition to weather conditions, the 

 lack of really competent labor has been.
