The Weekly Florists' Review* ' 



NOVBUBBB 1, 1006. 



NEV ORLEANS. 



Qub Meeting, : 



At the October meeting of the New 

 Orleans Horticultural Society .a commit- 

 tee was appointed to devise ways and 

 means of giving a social session in a 

 short time. The members appointed to 

 serve by President Otto Abele were: R. 

 Lockerbie, J. Steckler, J. A. Newsham, 

 B. M. Wichers and H. Kracke. At this 

 gathering the members will be expected 

 to discuss practical means of furthering 

 home industry. Refreshments will be 

 served and an entertaining program ar- 

 ranged. 



J. A. Newsham brought with him a 

 number of home-grown Bride, Brides- 

 maid and Richmond roses. Mr. Newsham 

 said the flowers represented his first ef- 

 forts in growing roses on an extensive 

 scale. Mr. Newsham also showed chrys- 

 anthemums which he grew in his nursery. 

 The members expressed the opinion that 

 the flowers were equal to any brought to 

 this city from the north. 



B. M. Wichers showed specimens of 

 Boston ferns, and also gave the members 

 a remedy for caterpillars, which is as 

 follows: A level teaspoonful of Paris 

 green, three tablespoonfuls of lime, in 

 five gallons of water. This liquid must 

 be sprinkled lightly every two weeks. 



Otto Abele spoke for the local florists 

 who attended the convention in Dayton 

 and mentioned the fact that H. Pap- 

 worth was one of the judges. Mr. Abele 

 said the northern florists entertained the 

 New Orleans visitors cordially. 



Charles Weiss, honorary member of the 

 New Orleans Horticultural Society, one 

 of its founders, the oldest member, and 

 one of the veteran florists of the south, 

 passed away at the Soldiers' Home at 

 the age of 87 years. The deceased was 

 born in Bavaria, Germany, but came to 

 this country when quite a child. He 

 served in the Mexican war, and also in 

 the civil war, afterwards devoting Ms 

 time to the care of flowers. He was 

 never established in business for him- 

 self. Many families accustomed to see 

 his familiar figure in the garden district, 

 and who were interested in his life work, 

 sustained quite a loss in his death. He 

 was buried with the honors of a good 

 soldier. M. M. L.
