NEW ORLEANS. 



Chryianthemam Conditions. 



I'or the uext six or seven weeks the 

 attention of the florists around New Or- 

 leans will be centered on chrysanthe- 

 mums, which are an important crop for 

 November 1. They must be good, 

 plentiful, and just in time for that day; 

 after or before they are hardly worth 

 growing. They are appreciated only as 

 a remembrance of the dead. We have 

 been lately among many growers and 

 found the crop in good condition. As 

 to quantity they are above last year. 

 The quality seems also to have improved. 



Abele Bros, had a little trouble with 

 their plants, owing to the dry spell 

 which we had for over two months, but 

 they say everything is growing right 

 now. 



George Thomas is not a large grower, 

 but what he has will compare favor- 

 ably with any other. 



J. H. Menard has more than last 

 year, and no doubt his experienced 

 grower, Claude Orry, will have good 

 flowers to offer to his customers. 



M. Alost raises a good quantity, but 

 he does not disbud very closely, using 

 them more in bunches. 



J. F. Dubois has moved his place op- 

 posite the Carrolton cemetery. The 

 location is good. As far as chrysanthe- 

 mums raised outside are concerned, he 

 seems to be the largest grower in New 

 Orleans. He has 50,000 plants of dif- 

 ferent varieties. They look good and 

 will certainly bring him a good return. 



At the Metairie Bidge Nurseries, of 

 which Harry Papworth is manager, we 

 ^ound the finest lot of chrysanthemums 

 that have ever been raised around here, 

 and comparing favorably with any raised 

 in other places. So far, at the begin- 

 ning of September, they are perfect. The 

 largest variety is Bobinson, which for a 

 long time has been found the best va- 

 riety for our climate. Many others of 

 midseason, nearly none of the earliest 

 and a few of the late kind are also in 

 good shape. Half of his greenhouses 

 are planted with them, the other half 

 is in roses. The culture of roses under 

 gass here is a new departure, but 

 judging from the fine standing of the 

 plants this culture is also perfectly well 

 understood down here. A few varieties 

 like Bichmond, Etoile de France, Meteor, 

 etc., did not take very well, but Amer- 

 ican Beauty, Bride and Maid and a few 

 others are fine. The stock is clean, grow- 

 ing vigorously and no doubt will be well 

 <pnying during the winter months. 



P. Chopin deals in extra fine stuff. 

 Still he wants to have a few samples 

 of outside grown planti, and he has 

 them in a good quantity, of Hoist and 

 Bobinson. 



Frank Faessel seems to have inau- 

 gurated a new scheme in raising the 

 largest part of his stock in raised 

 benches. His whole place is nothing but 

 long boxes, six inches deep, three feet 

 wide and- a foot and, a half apart. I 

 ^m not prepared to discuss the value of 

 this new idea, but it is being imitated 

 by many, and is certainly fuU of good 

 points for our climate and in some 

 special location. Mr. Faessel 's mums 

 raised this way, also his roses, carna- 

 tions, etc., are a proof that there is 

 much to study in this new way of grow- 

 ing plants and flowers. 



M. Cook & Son keep their stock under 

 glass. The senior member, just coming 

 back from the convention, says he is well 

 satisfied with the looks of his mums. He 

 had some alterations to make on his 

 place, having disposed of a part of his 

 grounds, so he could not plant as many 

 as before. Hid business is going to be 

 conducted hereafter by his two sons. 



William Behm, who has his place in 

 charge of B. Eichling, does not grow 

 chrysanthemums. He seems to have a 

 fancy for kentias, of which he has a 

 good, clean stock. 



J. St. Mard is an old specialist in 

 chrysanthemums. For several years he 

 has given the proof that a large, strong 

 mum could be grown down here, and he 

 is well prepared to offer a nice crop of 

 Bobinson, Cannell and other varieties.
