HUNT'S PURE BONE FLOUR 



This is identical with our Pure Bone 

 Meal, except it is ground to a very 

 fine dust or flour, making it especially 

 valuable for use in liquid form or for 

 mixing with other fertilizers when 

 quick action is required.

BLOOD AND BONE 



Preferred by many of our best and largest growers owing to 

 its great percentage of ammonia and available phosphate, which 

 makes it quick acting. 



It is a mixture of pure tankage or blood and the best grade of 



Bone Meal in proportions to stimulate root action and bring out 

 the best color in the blooms.

PULVERIZED SHEEP 

 MANURE 



One of the most effective of ferti- 

 lizers and largely used by the best 

 growers, both as a top dressing and 

 in the manure tanks. A trial order 

 will convince the most skeptical of 

 the superiority of our brand. It is the 

 Pure Sheep Manure. No dirt, no 

 weed seeds, nothing but what will 

 give results. Sheep manure is a per- 

 fect fertilizer, containing all the nec- 

 essary plant foods which are lacking 

 in most soils.

NEV ORLEANS 



Easter in New Orleans is not a day 

 ou which as many flowers are bought as 

 in northern cities. The outdoor flowers 

 at this time are so much advanced in 

 bloom that everyone has more or less of 

 a supply for decorations at home or at 

 church. Still there is certainly an extra 

 demand for good blooming stock, and 

 this year seemed to be as good as be- 

 fore. 



Department stores on Canal street are 

 quite busy now. D. H. Holmes, who had 

 his plants in charge of H. Papworth, 

 offered a fine lot of astilbe, of the Glad- 

 stone variety. The spikes are full and 

 well developed. They also had fine hy- 

 drangeas and a general stock of Easter 

 selling plants. U. J. Virgin, Wm. Eehm, 

 Chas. Eble and others also had a fine 

 display in their show cases. 



Passing through the garden district a 

 few days ago, we stopped at P. Chopin 's, 

 where we learned that he was well satis- 

 fied. A few blocks from his place we 

 saw F. Faessel, who was busy erecting 

 outside raised benches on which he in- 

 tends growing roses. In the middle of 

 the city, where the ground cannot be 

 renewed easily and becomes sour and 

 "S^t> the idea of growing roses and 

 other stock on elevated benches seems to

 ments will be closely watched by many 

 florists. 



Work is plentiful about private gar- 

 dens, the scarcity of hands now being 

 the worst drawback. Outside of the gen- 

 eral gardeners who follow the business, 

 some regular florists have also quite im- 

 portant jobs on hand. 



J. H. Menard has been remodeling the 

 grounds of the Soldiers ' Home, on Bayou 

 St. John. The place will be ready for 

 the next convention of the confederate 

 veterans and will be a good attraction 

 for the many visitors.
