The Weekly Florists' Review* 



1525 



NEir ORLEANS. 



Corrent G>ininent. 



After two months without a meeting, 

 it was to have been expected that the 

 last meeting of the New Orleans Horti- 

 cultural Society would have been larger. 

 Only a few members were present, owing 

 no doubt to the pressing work that we 

 have at the approach of November 1. 

 No action could be taken on several 

 propositions made by Mr. Lagardie, the 

 most important one being a chrysanthe- 

 mum show. The matter will be discussed 

 at the next meeting. A committee of 

 five was appointed to find out the best 

 way to induce some of our professors 

 to deliver lectures at our meetings. The 

 question of insects and parasites would 

 be of great interest when explained by 

 a scientific observer. President Otto 

 Abele appointed as finance committee 

 M. M. de Lapouyade, H. Cook and C. 

 Ory. B, M. Wichers took a few orders 

 on fine samples of Boston and Piersoni 

 ferns which he had on exhibition. J. 

 Newsham had some mums and cut roses 

 grown under glass. He said that it was 

 his first attempt, which certainly gives 

 good promise for the future. 



The city is full of people attending 

 the K. P. convention. Decorations of 

 all kinds, without omitting flowers, 

 palms, ferns and greens, have been used 

 in abundance. 



Our chrysanthemum crop is promis- 

 ing, but we will have to draw heavily on 

 CUcago for carnations and other stock, 

 and we hope everybody will be satis- 

 fied. 



J. A. Baur, of the Paducah Pottery 

 Co., was a visitor to our city, and was 

 present at our last meeting. M. M. L. 



FiTCHBURG, Mass. — W. H, Bitter 

 opened his new flower store, October 16, 

 with a fine display of stock and a 

 musical program of twelve numbers. 



Decatur, III. — M. Z. Kellogg has 

 removed from 447 N. Water street to 

 146 East North street, where he has a 

 new store and one more convenient for 

 the public. 



Attica, N. Y.-^^illiam F. Pf eif er has 

 purchased three lots at the comer of 

 Kellogg avenue and Erie street. He has 

 not decided what use he will make of 

 the property. 



St. Joseph, Mo. — October 16 was 

 flower day at Krug park. This means 

 that on that date the plants, not desired 

 for stock in the greenhouses, were turned 

 over to the pubUc; and thousands were 

 dug up and transferred to private homes.

Scores of Florisfs Use 



BAMMOND'S GRAPE DUST 



Chrysanthemums and Carnations 



This comes from WALLACE GOMERSALL, late superintendent of the 

 famous "Wodenethe," owned and finely maintained by Winthrop Sargent, 

 Esq., Fishkill-on-Hudson, N, Y.: 



"For Chrysanthemums we use GRAPE DUST with the best results by 

 freely dusting with it until the delicate blooms come, then we are a bit shy of 

 it, to prevent any staining of the petals, but during the green state, even in 

 bad weather, there is no trace of fungus, and we keep free of the spot. I 

 have recommended it to many gardeners, and so far mv acquaintances have 

 found it very valuable. In common with many gardeners and florists, I 

 have found it of great value in checking the rust on carnations. It is not 

 expensive to use, for by using in air bellows it diffuses itself everywhere, and 

 is, in my judgment, a valuable every day article. For roses it is of exceptional 

 benefit against mildew." 



How to Use "GRAPE DUST" for VIOLETS, 



ROSES, etc., in the Greenhouse. 



Fill the house with dust as soon as the plants are 

 set, and let it settle over the plants, or put one pound 

 to a pail of water and spray it finely over everything, 

 plants, ground, benches, etc. Spores are likely to 

 settle anywhere about, and prevention is the best 

 remedy. Its fineness, its reliability, and its great 

 diffusiveness combine to make GRAPE DUST 

 take the highest rank as a popular and economical 

 fungicide, and no mistake about it.
