NEW OBIiEANS. 



The Market. 



Taking everything into consideration, 

 the business conditions for the last 

 month can be classified as fair. As al- 

 ways is the case right after the holi- 

 days, sales of pot plants were on the 

 decline, but now the demand is a little 

 more lively. The cut flower sale is 

 holding its own, and although there 

 ■was no occasion for extra shipments, 

 the retailers disposed of their regular 

 supply from the northern markets, all 

 of which arrived in fine condition. Our 

 locally grown cut flowers now conawt 

 mainly of Koman hyacinths, Paper 

 Whites and Soleil d 'Or narcissi, valley, 

 orchids, single violets and the different 

 varieties of roses grown by one firm, 

 all of which are used by themselves. 

 Some early outdoor-grown sweet peas 

 are in the market, but the supply is 

 limited. 



Weather conditions have been unfa- 

 vorable to the market gardeners lately, 

 as this month there have been cold 

 rains on three successive Sundays, 

 which are, as a rule, the best selling 

 daf s for them. Our landscape garden- 

 ers have finished their early planting 

 of spring-flowering stock, some of which 

 can be seen in bloom, but the develop- 

 ment of the plants is greatly delayed 

 by the excessive rains. A temperature 

 as low &a 26 degrees was predicted for 

 January 24, but, luckily, it did not 

 reach the freezing point. 



Various Notes. 



The New Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety heldrits regular monthly meeting 

 January 21, in the Association of Com- 

 merce building. President P. A, Chopin 

 and Secretary C. E. Panter were in 

 their places and about half of the naem- 

 bership was present. The main feature 

 of the evening was the reading of the 

 amendments to the constitution and by- 

 laws of the society. After they had 

 been adopted as a whole, the committee 

 on revision was authorized by the pres- 

 ident to have a large number of them 

 printed and ready at the next meeting 

 for distribution among the members. 

 The semiannual report of the ^nance 

 committee ^?Fas read and adopted and 

 showed the fine condition of the treas- 

 ury. 



A great many local florists listened 

 to a lecture on "The Beautifying of 

 Home Gardens, " by Mr. Lowe, a 

 prominent citizen. A garden club will 

 soon be organized, the membership to 

 be composed of the people at large. 

 Its main object will be the beautify- 

 ing of home gardens and yards. It 

 is the intention to hold four exhibi- 

 tions during the year in the audi- 

 torium of the Association of Commerce 

 building, free to the ptf^lic. The locaj 

 florists are urged to makis exhibits of
