NEW OBLEANS. 



The Market. 



Although the full social season does 

 not begin until the middle of next 

 month, business is getting better grad- 

 ually, and a larger demand for choice 

 cut flowers and foliage plants is notice- 

 able. The greatest interest at pres- 

 ent is centered around All Saints' day, 

 November 1. We have experienced all 

 kinds of weather lately, from summer 

 heat down to 48 degrees, with occasional 

 heavy rains and storms, but the chrys- 

 anthemums are with many of the grow- 

 ets finer than in years gone by. The 

 orders for All Saints ' day are coming in 

 slowly; almost everyone waits for 

 the last few days and then the rush 

 starts. Chrysanthemums, principally 

 white ones, are the predominant flow- 

 ers for All Saints' day, but a good 

 many colored ones are used, especially 

 fancy varieties, besides roses and car- 

 nations by the thousands. Made-up 

 designs of various descriptions are go- 

 ing rapidly out of style for this day 

 and are being replaced by the more 

 graceful loose bunches. All depends 

 now on the weather, and the florists, as 

 well as the public at large, wish for a 

 warm and bright All Saints' day. 



Various Notes. 



Herman Doescher has an immense 

 stock of seasonable plants all in the 

 best of condition; his chrysanthemums 

 are fine, especially the colored varieties. 



Wm. Nelson's Robinsons are the talk 

 of the town; he has disposed already 

 of the entire crop of 8,000 flowers at 

 a good price. 



Verlinde & Vander Eecken find New 

 Orleans the right place to grow Ficus 

 elastica, araucaria and Citrus Sinensis 

 for the wholesale market. They are 

 working now to get a big stock ready 

 for spring; the fine, healthy plants to 

 be offered will be a surprise to the 

 trade. R. E. 



New Haven. Conn. — Joseph J. Sokol 

 has a permit for the addition of a 

 greenhouse and shed to his plant. 



Hamlet, N. C. — Joseph R. Bartos, for- 

 merly of La Grange, Ga., has purchased 

 ten acres of land here, on which he has 

 started growing flowers and vegetables. 



Pittsfield, Mass. — Joseph W. Pybus, 

 gardener for Warren M. Salisbury, ex- 

 hibited some fine lupines from his gar- 

 dens, at the Flower Shop in Pittsfield. 



Chester, N. Y. — Bernard H. Cullen is 

 having two additional houses, both 

 larger than his present ones, erected 

 by S. Jacobs & Sons, of Brooklyn,
