PoNTiAc, III. — W. J. Miller & Son 

 report a fair business this fall because 

 their mums were of especially good qual- 

 ity, but the weather has been unfavor- 

 able for brisk trade. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 New Orleans Horticultural Society was 

 held November 17 at Kolb's Hotel, in St. 

 Charles street. Harry Papworth, the 

 president, called the meeting to order, 

 and M. M. Lajwuyade was elected secre- 

 tary pro tem., in the absence of the reg- 

 ular oflScer. 



There was an exhibit of Piersoni ele- 

 gantissima and some of the newest mums 

 from the north were shown, including 

 Wm. Duckham. 



In the general discussion of trade con- 

 ditions, it developed that the retail flower 



trade of New Orleans during the last 

 month had been considerably larger than 

 last season . The demand, it was shown, 

 was larger for the better and higher 

 priced varieties of flowers, and the white 

 chrysanthemum had proven a better sell- 

 er than other colors this autumn. 



KANSAS CITY. 



Variotis Jottings. 



Sam Short reports business rushing at 

 Kansas City, Kans. . 



W. J. Barnes is doing a rushing busi- 

 ness these days and has just finished a 

 new carnation house. 



The W. H. Humfeld Floral Co. has a 

 magnificent display of mums. The green- 

 houses are thronged with sight-seers all 



day. 



It is reported that an effort is to be 

 made to have another flower show here 

 next fall. Everyone with whom I have 

 talked seems to favor it and, with every- 

 one satisfied, the florists of Kansas City 

 will make it a show long to be remem- 

 l)6r6cl. 



D. Freudenthal, of the U. D. Flower 

 Co., says the fair has cost him about 

 $500 loss in a business way, but he ex- 

 pects to make it all up before spring. 



G. P. Kaupp, of G. P. Kaupp & Son, 

 Nevada, Mo., has been visiting here the 

 past week. Mr. Kaupp reports good 

 business in his home town and to supply 

 the increasing demand had to build a 

 new house 22x100 for carnations and 

 mums. 



Mrs. Jewell, who has recently started 

 in business on Grand avenue, is getting 

 a lot of work from the Police Depart- 

 ment. 



The Alpha Floral Co. must be doing 

 good business, as they have placed a gor- 

 geous new refrigerator in their store on 

 Walnut street. 



There are millions of pots used in and 

 around this city every year and it is al- 

 most impossible some times to get pots. 

 Our city is the center of a niost popu- 

 lous country, railroads reaching every- 

 where, water, gas and fuel in abundance, 

 clay for the digging, and why a pottery 

 has never been established here is a mys- 

 tery to me. 



Samuel Murray was a shining light at 

 the Commercial Club banqnet last week. 



Narcissus. 



AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. 



Kingston Pet is registered by Valen- 

 tine Burgevin's Sons, Kingston, N. Y., 

 a pink sport of Enchantress, a very rich, 

 pleasing shade of pure pink, with the 

 size and stem of Enchantress and the 

 general habit of that variety. 



Premium lists for the Chicago show 

 can be had by applying to the secretary. 

 This meeting will be held January 28 

 and 29, 1905, and will be the place to 

 show all new carnations as well aa the 

 good ones of the older varieties. There 

 were some 30,000 flowers shown in De- 

 troit and there will be room for more 

 than that in Chicago. 



Albert M. Herr, Sec'y. 



Three Kivers, Mich. — Wm. Dyer says 

 that business was pretty dull all sum- 

 mer but has been all right this fall. 



Woonsocket, E. I. — Thos. H. Greene 

 has removed his store from 138 to 75 

 Main street, where he has a very neat 

 place.
