Qub Meeting. 



The New Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety met December 24. Paul Abele, 

 chairman of the committee having in 

 charge the interstate organization among 

 the southern florists, suggested a propo- 

 sition which was ordered to be printed 

 and mailed to the southern florists. If 

 successful we will have made a great 

 step in the advancement of horticultural 

 matters in the whole Union. E. Baker, 

 chairman of the committee on flower 

 show, made his report. The expenses 

 with prize money amounted to $976.36. 

 Cash receipts will be a good deal over, 

 the surplus being donat^ to the Sun- 

 shiners. The ladies' association deserves 

 a good share in tbe success of the ex- 

 hibit. 



Next month the State Horticultural 

 Society will meet in New Orleans. The 

 N. O. H. Society voted a suitable appre- 

 priation to entertain the members of the 

 or^nization. 



Henri Cook was elected a new mem- 

 ber. 



VariotM Notes. 



A donation of a number of plants has 

 been made to the city to embellish La- 

 fayette square in return for the use of 

 the park, which was tendered free of 

 charge for the last flower show. 



Wm. Newall, assisted by Mr. Martin, 

 is making inspection of all the nurseries 

 regarding the insect pest question. 



The New Orleans Ladies' Floral As- 

 sociation is progressing and our society 

 is expecting at any time to receive a 

 proposition outlining the ways and 

 means for working together. 



At the Metairie Ridge Nursery every- 

 thing looks new, fresh and lively. Credit 

 is due to H. Papworth, the president, 

 for having accomplished in such a lit- 

 tle time the erection of six large green- 

 houses which are already full of stock. 

 Adding new houses to an already estab- 

 lished business is easy enough, with time 

 and capital, but to start a large concern 

 from almost nothing is a task which can

only be accomplished by a man of much 

 experience and by much hard work. 

 When I called he was busy regulating 

 his steam coils, working under the Web- 

 ster system with a 100 horse-power 

 boiler. Three houses are planted with 

 roses, the successful culture of which in 

 New Orleans is now an assured fact. 

 Several florists in the city have at- 

 tempted to force roses but one of the 

 worst drawbacks is the lack of proper 

 soil. The Metairie Ridge Nursery, being 

 situated outside of the city limits, has 

 an endless quantity of the best ground 

 adapted to the proper cultivation of 

 roses. Carnations are very promising 

 and will certainly be a success, at least 

 at some season of the vear. One house 



is almost full of Pandanus Veitchii, 

 from 2-inch pots to large specimen 

 plants. They had just received a large 

 order for made-up pans and were using 

 a small pandanus in the middle with a 

 very good effect. All the houses are 

 joined at the ends by a large potting 

 shed, with a wagonway in the middle, 

 and Mr. Papworth thinks it will not be 

 any too spacious when in the near future 

 they will start their catalogue and ship- 

 ping business. M. M. L.
