NEW ORLEANS. 



Qub Meetine. 



At the monthly meeting of the New 

 Orleans Horticultural Society there also 

 •was an informal chrysanthemum show. 

 Several members brought fine flowers for 

 inspection, but the ones which attracted 

 the first attention had been sent by 

 the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind. They 

 were perfect in size and finish, George 

 Beach, Lord Salisbury, Amateur Consiel, 

 Lucy Evans and May Seddon being 

 among the best. J. A. Newsham fol- 

 lowed closely in quality with Convention 

 Hall, J. C. Neville and others. Abele 

 Bros, had Dr. Enguehard, General Hut- 

 ton and S. T. Wright. Cook's Sons 

 brought Pullman, Eaton and E. E. Eich- 

 ardson. B. M, Wichers had some good 

 ones. H. Papworth had a fine display 

 of American Beauty and Golden Gate 

 roses. With such a showing of mums it 

 was an easy matter to decide about a 

 flower show for next fall, and a motion 

 by Mr. Lockerbie for that purpose was 

 unanimously carried. 



Letters from Mr. Newel and others 

 were received accepting the invitation to 

 deliver lectures on insects and parasites, 

 and a committee was appointed to de- 

 vise location and time for same. 



P. A. Chopin, C. E. Panter and C. W. 

 Eichling were appointed a committee to 

 revise the by-laws of the society. The 

 society has been in existence many years 

 and the membership is increasing. 



J. A. Newsham introduced to the mem- 

 bers J. Guyot, a practical collector of 

 orchids. This gentleman, who has been 

 working as a florist in different parts of 

 Europe and the United States, is going 

 in a few days to Colombia, being sent 

 by J. A. Newsham to collect orchids, 

 which will be shipped to New Orleans as 

 fast as possible. Mr. Newsham intends 

 to go into the business as a specialty. 

 His long experience in the business, hav- 

 ing collected orchids himself in South 

 America and being in charge some years 

 ago of the rare and large collection of 

 the late Onorato, is assurance of success. 

 It seems that the taste for and need of 

 orchid flowers is increasing and no doubt 

 such an enterprise in New Orleans is 

 starting under the best auspices. 



Various Notes. 



The horticultural inspectors met at a 

 convention in Baton Eouge on Novem- 

 ber 15. The following officers were elect- 

 ed for the coming year : President, A. P. 

 Burgess, of Ohio; secretary, J. B. Smith, 

 of New Jersey. 



J. Steckler Seed Co., Ltd., is moving 

 to its new and spacious building, 512 to 

 516 Gravier street. The store is large 

 and offers more accommodations to their 

 increasing business. M. M. L. 



WAYSIDE NOTES. 



William Mathews, of Utica, N. Y., has 

 a fine showing of cattleyas. Among them 

 are the rare C. labiata vera., C. gigaa and 

 C. Harrisoniae, the latter a lovely flower, 

 porcelain white, shaded with deep pink. 

 I counted eight flowers on one spike. I 

 also saw a fine specimen of C. Dowiana 

 with Mr. Ballantyne, gardener to Mrs. 

 Thompson at Canandaigua, and C. Bow- 

 ringeana at Mrs. ElimbalPs, Eochester, 

 where Colin Ogston has charge. 



Frank Baker, who reports a big run 

 on ferns, says he never sold out so clean 

 as tluB season.
