the Denver Club ball, the decorations be- 

 ing done by Mr. Bush, of the Daniels & 

 Fisher Stores Co, The ball given by 

 Mr. and Mrs. Sheedy was next in promi- 

 nence. The decorations were mostly of 

 green and poinsettias, by Philip Scott. 

 And equally as fine was the dance given 

 by Miss Dines, at the Adams hotel, 

 where the decorations were looked after 

 by B. E. Gillis, of the Park Floral Co. 



Various Notes. 



Some of the finest Begonia Lorraine 

 seen in the city are grown by Frank 

 Rushmore, of the City park greenhouses. 



Bernard Boldt has been cutting daffo- 

 dils for some two weeks, and for the time 

 of the year they are hard to beat. 



Ernest Flohr had some fine migno- 

 nette, as well as fine violets, which were 

 just the thing for Christmas. 



The Park Floral Co. delivered cut 

 flowers Christmas morning with auto- 

 mobiles, every box being sent out on 

 time. 



N. A. Benson is cutting some very 



good Enchantress, as well as some of the 

 finest Beauties. E. S. K. 



NEV ORLEANS. 



Christmas business is reported by many 

 florists in New Orleans as having been 

 quite good. Ferns and palms sold well, 

 flowering plants being almost limited to 

 azaleas and Begonia Gloire de Lorraine. 

 Carnations were not less than $1.25 per 

 dozen, and more for fancies. American 

 Beauties were scarce at any price. 



C. W. Eichling disposed of many 

 Ciloire de Lorraine at a good price. 



E. Valdejo and Abele Bros, report a 

 good demand for Gloire de Lorraine, 

 which seems to be the standby for 

 Christmas presents. 



J. H. Menand says it was the best 

 Christmas in several years. He was also 

 busy with decorations. The one at the 

 Christ Church, one of the oldest congre- 

 gations in New Orleans, was a master- 

 piece of art. "Wild smilax covered the 

 entire end of the church, strung from 

 the dome to the floor. Each side was 



raised like a curtain. In the center at 

 the top was a large cross formed by 

 thirty-two electric lights. Here and there 

 all over the curtain were scattered a 

 profusion of lights of different colors. 

 The effect was admired by every one. 

 The program of the convention of the 

 Louisiana State Horticultural Society 

 has been announced. The convention is 

 to be held in New Orleans on Janu- 

 ary 25 and 26. The object of the so- 

 ciety has been the culture of fruit trees, 

 vegetables and general arboriculture. 

 Floriculture has not been entirely dis- 

 regarded and among the papers which 

 are to be read will be one by C. W. 

 Eichling, on roses, E. Baker on native 

 shrubs and flowers, and C. E. Panter on 

 city nurseries. M. M. L. 



Peoeia, III. — The florists of this city 

 have made an arrangement with regard 

 to closing hours. All have agreed to close 

 at 7 p. m. each day but Saturday, when 

 the hour will be 10 p. m. On Sunday 

 they will remain open until 1 p. m.
