NEW ORLEANS. 



The gardening business is quite impor- 

 tant in New Orleans. Perhaps no other 

 city in the Union has so many gardeners 

 attending to private places by the month 

 and all the year around. In the north 

 the lady of the house takes care of the 

 garden. She cannot do that here, as the 

 grass is too tough and the sun too hot. 

 From a few who were in the business 

 some years ago they can be counted now 

 by the hundreds. Just now they are very 

 busy. They charge from $1 to $20 or 

 more by the month, according to the size 

 of the place, cleaning the garden once a 

 week. Some are satisfied to work by 

 themselves, while many others employ 

 several hands, and all seem to do very 

 well in the business. 



Chas. Ebele just came back from a 

 month's trip in the north. He is well 

 pleased with what be has seen at such 

 places as H. A, Dreer's, Joseph Hea- 

 eock's and Godfrey Aschmann's, around 

 Philadelphia, and many others in other 

 places. He says he found the business 

 home as good as anywhere else. His two 

 sons had charge of his establishment dur- 

 ing his absence. 



J. St. Mard is pushing his chrysanthe- 

 mums. He is a good grower, having every 

 year a large quantity of good flowers 

 ready for All Saints ' day. His plants are 

 raised outdoors and covered with sashes 

 when the buds appear. On another page 

 you will find a view of how they look 

 when ready for the market. 



Armand R. Kerlec who was conduct- 

 ing a seed store near the corner of De- 

 catur and Ursaline streets in this city, 

 "lied last Friday from yellow fever. He 

 was a young man, twenty-five years old, 

 having succeeded his father, who was 

 a Frenchman, who learned his busi- 

 ness in the old country, and was em- 

 ployed at one time with the seed house 

 of Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co., of Paris. 

 He was an enterprising young man and 

 was helped in the business by his mother 

 and sisters, they attending to the flower 

 department. His mother had a stand of 

 I'ut flowers at the French market for a 

 long time. His death will be deeply 

 lamented by his family, his friends and 

 the trade, being a young man with a 

 bright future before him. He leaves a 

 widow and two children. 



P. A. Chopin says business is just as 

 good as can be expected for this time of 

 the year. He is busy now giving the last

touches to a pamphlet on flower decora- 

 tion, cut flowers and flower designs of 

 all kinds, to be distributed principally 

 among his New Orleans customers. He 

 wants to keep the New Orleans people 

 well posted on what is new and fine in 

 the art of using flowers and plants for 

 bouquets and decorations. The book will 

 be profusely illustrated and handsomely 

 printed. 



Frank Taisel will remodel his oflSce 

 in front of his greenhouses, making it 

 modern and up-to-date. His stock is in 

 fair condition. 



All our growers seem to be full of 

 hope for a grand display of plants at our 

 next flower show in November. 



About the water hyacinth I would say 

 that it has completely disappeared in and 

 around New Orleans. It was at one 

 time so thick in the canals in the city 

 that with a small plank thrown over a 

 person could walk across, and in the 

 bayous going to the gulf the navigation 

 was almost stopped. No more of it can 

 be seen now. I am not able to say that 

 we owe its eradication to the engineer's 



office of the war department, but I hope 

 that the marine hospital service will have 

 as much success in destroying the mos- 

 quitoes, and then Louisiana will be all 

 right. M. M. L. 



CARD OF THANKS. 



Dear Mr. Editor: I beg the courtesy 

 of your paper to extend to the ladies of 

 the S. A. F. and O. H. my thanks and 

 appreemtion for the beautiful present 

 they so kindly made me while attending 

 the convention last week in our city. I 

 was so surprised that I could not find 

 words to express my feelings when the 

 presentation was made, therefore I ap- 

 ply to you and your columns as a means 

 of conveying my thanks to all, especially 

 to the originators of the idea. Yours 

 sincerely, Mrs. Joseph R. Freeman.
