The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Decembeb 7, 1905. 



MOBILE, ALA. 



In spite of the summer weather we 

 have been having, with plenty of good 

 outdoor roses and other flowers at this 

 late date, business has been brisk and 

 healthy. 



A trip through the Chatogue Green- 

 houses last week Avas more than a 

 pleasure. Tlie foreman, Mr. Locharley, 

 certainly shows what stuff he is made of 

 in the looks of his roses and mums. Sev- 

 eral houses in Beauties, Kaiserin, Bich- 

 mond, MacArthur, Maids, Gates and 

 Perles, all of them in the pink of con- 

 dition, and promising a fine holiday cut. 

 The mums were like the proverbial po- 

 licemen's feet, all very fine and large, 

 the Batons nearly too much so, although 

 he had two and three stems to the plant. 



An unalloyed pleasure was a visit last 

 week by that genial and enterprising 

 president and manager of the Metairie 

 Ridge Nursery Co., of New Orleans, Har- 

 ry Papworth. Mr. Papworth has been 

 busy this summer erecting his large 

 plant, but is now ready for the reaping, 

 and we wish him a fine harvest. 



November 29 saAV the nuptial knot tied 

 between Louis Ravier, member of the 

 firm of C. Ravier & Sons, and Miss Edna 

 Baumhauer, of this city. Good looks, 

 winning ways, any amount of energy, 

 with nothing but friends in and outside 

 the florist craft of Mobile, are the qual- 

 ities that won the prize. With all of 

 Mobile wishing that young couple hap- 

 piness, there can be nothing but hap- 

 piness and prosperity in store for this 

 French-German alliance. Gulf City.
