cornflowers and a large quantity of 

 oreopsis from George Klotter 's place. 



C. E. Critchell has been getting some 

 excellent snapdragons from Tom Wind- 

 ram's place. 



Hardesty & Co. had the Hager-Wul- 

 sin wedding decoration at Ashland, Ky., 

 June 6. They used about 500 lilies 

 and 3,000 roses, besides palms and other 

 decorative material. The bride's table 

 was decked with white roses, valley and 

 sweet peas.

The Market. 



June, the brides' month, as well as 

 the mouth of the sweet girl graduates, 

 is keeping our flower stores busy. A 

 number of large weddings have taken 

 place and several more have been 

 booked, some of them dated as late as 

 the middle of July. The work for the 

 graduates of the colleges and high 

 schools began with the beginning of 

 the mpnth and work for these occasions 

 culminates with the graduating exer- 

 cises of our two public high schools for 

 firls, held at the French Opera House, 

 'or that night the local retailers make 

 up about 300 bouquets of different 



styles, all of a high grade of workman- 

 ship. 



The outdoor crops of cut flowers, such 

 as gardenias, Shasta daisies and the 

 late plantings of gladioli, are of good 

 quality, considering the dry, hot weath- 

 er we have had in the last four weeks. 

 If the rainless spell continues much 

 longer, it will affect the coming aster 

 crop considerably. Although the ma- 

 jority of the mums are planted and do- 

 ing fairly well, some of the growers are 

 holding part of their stock back, wait- 

 ing for rain and cooler weather. 



Nothing of importance is being done 

 in the building line; the cause of this 

 can be found in the lack of increase in 

 business during the last six months. 



Various Notes. 



Abele Bros, have been doing consider- 

 able shipping of all kinds of outdoor 

 stock. Their plants are always of clean 

 and strong culture. 



C. W. Eichling reports fair business. 

 He receives daily shipments of gla- 

 dioli, daisies, etc., from his Bayou La 

 Combe nursery. The stock grown on 

 his place is of a high grade and is sold 

 at both wholesale and- retail. 



The Metairie Ridge Nursery Co. al- 

 ways has a good business and grows 

 the greater part of the stock needed at 

 the store. A well carried out rural 



scone, showing country life 100 years 

 ago, occupies the entire big show win- 

 dow of this store at present and is at- 

 tracting a great deal of attention. Mr 

 Schlottmeier, the designer, is receiving 

 much well-deserved praise. 



Peter Chopin is one of the busy St. 

 Charles avenue florists. He stated that 

 since he opened his new store he has 

 been doing three times his former 

 amount of business. 



The Orchid Store, of which Newsham 

 and Scheuermann are proprietors, is still 

 more than holding its own. The gor- 

 geous displays of rare and beautiful or- 

 chids always find a large host of ad- 

 mirers, as well as buyers. At the nurs- 

 ery the stock of different kinds of 

 plants and cut flowers is in fine condi- 

 tion. Two of their new houses, used 

 last year for mums, have been planted 

 with young roses of the new and stand- 

 ard varieties. 



Mrs. Carrie Rehm always has the in- 

 terior as well as the exterior of her 

 place in attractive shape. It is no 

 wonder she retains her old customers 

 and continues to get new ones. 



The Joseph Steckler Seed Co., selling 

 at both wholesale and retail, reports 

 this year's business as satisfactory, 

 with an increase in the plant depart- 

 ment. 



U. J. Virgin is getting a good share
