BALTIMORE. 



Business the past two weeks has been 

 more satisfactory all around. Boses and 

 carnations have been clearing up from 

 day to day. The rose market is' perhaps 

 in the best shape of any line, and the 

 stock is generally pretty well cleaned up 

 during the day; present prices are from 

 $6 to $10 a hundred. There are plenty 

 of all colored carnations, the supply 

 equal to demand and prices firm on all 

 good stock. Freesias are beginning to 

 arrive; the pure white find ready sale, 

 but the yellow tinted ones no one wants. 

 Callas, Paper White narcissi and Boman 

 hyacinths are over-plentiful and hard to 

 move at a decent price. "We have had 

 spring-like weather for the past couple 

 of weeks. A. F. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The State Horticultural Society 

 opened its convention as announced 

 January 25 and carried out the program 

 as stated in one of my last reports. 

 Major Behreman opened the ceremonies; 

 the attendance was small, though the 

 second day was better. The most prac- 

 tical and interesting paper was read by 

 A. N. Athen, on the culture of cucum- 

 bers under glass. This business pays 

 well in New Orleans; 60 degrees for 

 night temperature and 80 degrees in the 

 day time are required; bhght is the 

 only disease. Henry A. Athen has se- 

 cured 160 acres above Southport, where 

 every known equipment will be installed. 

 Capital is $30,000. The hothouses al- 

 ready built cost him $16,000. Truck 

 raising for some select vegetables is a 

 very profitable industry around New Or- 

 leans. 



Visitors in town: Henry A. Jones, 

 representing Ealph M. Ward & Co., of 

 New York. M. M. L.

PACIFIC COAST. 



ORNAMENTAL TREES. 



It seems to be a recognized fact that 

 the acreage devoted by nurseries to the 

 growing of ornamental trees in Califor- 

 nia is by no means keeping pace either 

 with the increasing demand or the de- 

 struction of native growths. The con- 

 stant influx of settlers to our new coun- 

 try and the consequent devastation of 

 many thousands of acres of magnificent 

 oaks, redwoods and other magnificent 

 evergreens, will result in a few years in 

 a tremendous shortage of verdure, which 

 even at the present time is becoming 

 very noticeable to our eastern visitors. 

 With the increase of wealth and the de- 

 sire for handsome surroundings, and the 

 fact that we have so few nurseries of 

 size enough to cater to the demands sure 

 to be made, the outlook is not bright for 

 the beautification of our landscape and 

 it will be but a short time until there 

 is an entire absence of available stock. 



It is indeed commendable that there 

 are in existence at present, and also in 

 the course of formation, many societies 

 throughout this coast for no other pur-

pose than to encourage the planting of 

 trees. These have been principally di* 

 rected toward the improvement of side- 

 walks and streets. That the newspapers 

 are taking a healthy interest is greatly 

 to the advantage of the state. Thus far, 

 it has been possible for the local dealers 

 to supply about all required for this sort 

 of work, but on the same lines other 

 committees are endeavoring to interest 

 their various localities in the laying-out 

 and planting of parks, as well as private 

 domains, and it should not be overlooked 

 by our local dealers that a great deal 

 of large, heavy ornamental stock will 

 certainly be required to plant them. 



California is but a young state and 

 our citizens have not previously given 

 the subject of extensive improvements in 

 the tree planting line much attention, 

 but owing to the creditable efforts of our 

 newspapers and magazines, the same 

 public is becoming ahve to the value of 

 enhancing our natural charms by the
