NEW ORLEANS. 



TheMai^et 



Since our last report the unpleasant 

 rumor of yellow fever around New Or- 

 leans has checked business. Sunday the 

 flower market at the French market, 

 where the best and most plants are sold, 

 was entirely bare. Of the five florists 

 who were there the week previous, only 

 one was present this time. Funeral or- 

 ders might be on the increase, but we 

 hope it will not last. We wish an in- 

 crease of business brought by different 

 circumstances. 



Flowers are quite abundant in the gar- 

 dens, but the quality is very poor. Or- 

 ders have to be filled with northern roses 

 and carnations kept in the ice-box, but 

 with 90 to 100 degrees of heat outside 

 their keeping qualities are of very short 

 duration. 



Various Notes. 



J. H. Menard is potting a large lot 

 of runners of Piersoni Elegantissima 

 from plants received in the spring. He 

 is well satisfied with the new plant, of 

 which he expects a large sale when bet- 

 ter known. One of the superiorities of 

 Elegantissima is keeping true to its char- 

 acter without going back to the Boston 

 fern. His chrysanthemums are healthy. 

 He grows them outside, with slight pro- 

 tection when the buds appear. He claims 

 them to grow just as well as under glass. 



E. Ory has been moving to his new 

 quarters on Oak street, near Carrolton 

 avenue. With a larger place and his own 

 property he expects to increase his busi- 

 ness largely. 



A. Alost is bringing to the market 

 large quantities of field-grown roses from 

 his place on Gentilly road. 



P. Rielman, who is growing early 

 vegetables with plants and flowers, had 

 the misfortune to ship his beans to Chi- 

 cago at a very bad time, consequently 

 he had very poor returns. 



A. Cook, a brother of M. Cook and an 

 old florist of New Orleans, died a few 

 days ago. He was never established on 

 his own account, working with other 

 florists, being lately with E. Valdejo. 

 His knowledge of horticultural matters 

 was well thought of by the craft.

The Market 

 Pleasant weather with nothing to do 

 is not satisfactory even to the hired 

 help. They cannot all get away at once 

 and those who remain only fret over 

 the continued idleness. Last week, busi- 

 ness was reported bad, but if half the 

 reports and complaints are true, the 

 business thermometer is pretty close to 

 zero, and this with quantities of fine 

 asters, gladioli, lilies and roses to be had 

 at your own price, the opportunity of 

 your life to make money and not an or- 

 der in sight. In the wholesale houses it 

 is even worse, as they are compelled to 

 handle the large lots of stock coming 

 in, and having no outlet for much of it 

 except the garbage box, are wondering 

 how they can satisfy their consignors, 

 but they are a hopeful lot and expect to 

 see it brighten up before long. 



Various Notes. 



Bandolph & McClement's store and 

 greenhouse men have organized base ball 

 clubs and have many lively games after 

 business hours, and while they are not 

 professionals they play all the fine points 

 .of the game. "Fitzy" is the crack 

 pitcher of the store nine. Ed Weaver, 

 one of the store rooters, has taken his 

 wife and family to the mountains. 



Miss Catherine Friel, cashier for A. M. 

 Murdoch, has gone to Atlantic City on 

 a two weeks' vacation. 



Geo. Eichorn has just returned from 

 Scranton, Pa., where he went as a repre- 

 sentative of the Allegheny Harro Garro 

 Society. 



About thirty-five persons have declared 

 their intention of attending the S. A. 

 F. convention. They expect to leave on 

 the 8 : 00 a. m. train, which will give them 

 a delightful ride on the picturesque B. & 

 O., arriving in Washington about 6:00 

 p. m. Monday. E. C. Reineman is ar- 

 ranging for a parlor car and refresh- 

 ments for the trip. They expect to spend 

 a pleasant day. 



E. C Ludwig and family left last week 

 for Atlantic City. Mr. Ludwig will run 

 over to Washington for the convention. 



T. P. Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut 

 Flower Co., reports from Bobcaygeon, 

 Ontario, Canada, one day's fishing, one 

 'lunge, seven pounds, one ten pounds, 

 one five pounds and one three and three- 

 quarter pound bass, all landed with that 

 little toothpick rod of his. He reports 

 fishing good in that section. 



Uncle John Wyland with a small party 

 will go to Atlantic City and run over to 

 Washington a couple of days during the 

 convention. 



Wm. Falconer will have business in 

 Boston on August 14, which will prob- 

 ably compel him to miss the convention. 

 He says he regrets very much being un- 

 able to attend, but his heart will be with 

 the boys. 



The Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co. 

 will be represented at the convention by 

 Fred Burki and Mr. Kocher. 



Walter Breitenstein, with a number of 

 his friends, business men of this city, 

 is leading the outdoor life. They have 

 a clubhouse up the Allegheny river, 

 within an hour's ride of their business, 

 where they eat and sleep outdoors and 

 amuse themselves canoeing and entertain- 

 ing their friends. Hoo-Hoo. 



The Review ia very satisfactory to 

 me. Being a retail florist I very much 

 appreciate the matter pertaining to our 

 branch of the business and feel that 

 I would not like to do without it.— Thos. 

 A. IvEY, Brantford, Ont.
