TheWeckly Rorists' Review, 



May 31, 1906. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



We are now passiog through a spell 

 of dry weather, which is very bad for 

 the florists at this time of the year. 

 Our city water system is not yet com- 

 pleted and many growers are suffering 

 for want of water. The chrysanthe- 

 mum and aster planting is not entirely 

 done and good showers are needed badly. 

 Business is dull. 



The Gardeners' Mutual Protective As- 

 sociation, composed of the leading truck 

 farmers surrounding New Orleans, will 

 give its annual picnic and May festival 

 Sunday. There will be a number of 

 prizes distributed among the successful 

 contestants, consisting of wheelbarrows, 

 spades, pitchforks, etc. 



We had the pleasure last week of vis- 

 iting the place of C. W. Wichers, situ- 

 ated at Gretna, opposite New Orleans. 

 It is well stocked with a general assort- 

 ment of plants, but his attention is de- 

 voted mostly to the culture of ferns, as- 

 paragus and aquatic plants. His varie- 

 ties of aquatics are quite numerous. 

 He also has another place, eighteen 

 miles from the city, on the Bayou Bara- 

 taria, where he raises nursery stock. 

 Mr. Wichers was for many years a resi- 

 dent of the southern part of Florida, 

 being then devoted to the culture of 

 oranges. His place here is shaded by 

 huge palms. Phoenix Canariensis and 

 cabbage palmetto, of the sabal type, 

 fifteen feet high and only three years 

 from seeds speak well in favor of our 

 soil and climate. The greater part of 

 his stock is shipped to other states.
