The Rorists' Review 



April 29, 1915. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



Club Outing. 



The German Gardeners ' Club held its 

 first fishing trip for the season, April 

 21. The party left Harvey's canal at 

 6:30 a. m., on a launch, for one of 

 the T'opular fishing camps, on Bayou 

 Baiataria, arriving there after a tWo 

 hours' pleasant sail. Everyone went 

 for the denizens of the deep and some 

 of the lucky ones had a big enough 

 catch to have a few pans of fine perch 

 for their dinner. The others found 

 solace in their lunch baskets, and an 

 ample quantity of the amber fluid was 

 on hand to keep the happy fishermen 

 from getting dry. The fishing was con- 

 tinned until about 3 o'clock, and by 

 that time enough perch and catfish 

 were caught to keep our chef, the al- 

 ways jovial Henry Kraak, busy frying 

 and serving, fresh and hot from the 

 pan. It must be said that he is a 

 master in this particular art and loud 

 were the praises paid him. 



After the meal the return trip began. 

 A visit was paid, en route, to the newly 

 built Hero pumping station, the largest 

 of its kind in the world. In a short 

 time thousands of acres of land for ag- 

 ricultural and horticultural purposes 

 will be available. The happy crowd 

 reached home at 7 p. m., having thor- 

 oughly enjoyed their outing. Several 

 of the club members could not partici- 

 pate in the outing, on account of the 

 rush in filling orders, but they promised 

 to be present the next time, in June. 



The intending exhibitors at the 

 flower show to be held here May 6 to 

 9 had a special meeting at the resi- 

 dence of Peter Chopin. Nearly every- 

 one was present and great interest in 

 the drawing of the numbers for the 

 space lots was manifested. The entire 

 exhibition Will be under cover and 

 every foot of space was taken, in areas 

 ranging from 10 to 250 square feet for 

 each exhibitor. About fifteen members 

 of the New Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety will participate and everyone 

 promised to do his utmost to make the 

 show an interesting and artistic one. 

 About 2,000 tickets were distributed 

 among those present, with instructions 

 to sell all if possible. 



The arrangement committee is work- 

 ing hard and is getting everything into 

 shape. During the afternoon and even- 

 ing a skilled symphony orchestra will 

 furnish music. The interest shown by 

 the general public in the show is keen, 

 and if the weather is favorable a 

 financial success is likewise assured.

OPHELIA 



No fancy rose ever introduced pos- 

 sesses so many excellent qualities. It 

 is a splendid grower, a very free 

 bloomer and has fine stems. It sells on 

 sight. The demand undoubtedly will 

 exceed the supply. Anticipating the 

 large demand, we have propagated it ex- 

 tensively.

FBANOIS 800TT KET 



This variety, raised by Mr. John 

 Cook, is very distinct, being entirely 

 different from any of the indoor roses 

 grown today. Flowers are rosy red and 

 are unusually large and double, resem- 

 bling very much a very full, double, 

 hardy garden rose. Coupled with its 

 large size and double form, it is an ex- 

 ceedingly free bloomer. It promises to 

 be exceedingly valuable, especially for 



PBINOE E. a D'ABENBEBG 



This variety might well ' have been 

 termed a Bed KiUarney, as it possesses 

 BO many of the good qualities of the 

 Killarneys. In color the flowers ar« 

 similar to Bichmond, but they are mueh 

 more double, and it should prove a 

 very much more profitable rose. Flow- 

 ers have fine, straight stems on all the 

 frades — from the shortest to the longest, 

 t has fine foliage, comes away quickly 

 and is even a freer bloomer than the 

 Killarneys. We belieVe it is the best 

 all-round red rose that we have today.
