NEW ORLEANS, 



Easter business is not generally re- 

 ported as having been especially brisk 

 this year. In New Orleans it has not 

 been an occasion for the grand display 

 of plants and flowers which takes place 

 at that time in the north. Moreover, 

 this winter has been so mild that peo- 

 ple did not really know when spring was 

 opening, as we had flowers, chiefly roses, 

 all the last month. Still, on that day 

 some customers want something extra 

 and are willing to pay for extra fine 

 lilies, extra carnations and the like. 

 From what Charles Eble says, business 

 would have fceen better if the flowers 

 received from the north had been in bet- 

 ter condition. 



M. Cook & Sons have not so many 

 complaints about the stock they have 

 received from the north, but they say 

 also that business was under that of last 

 year. 



Joseph Schindler & Co., not having 

 been in the location they are now occu- 

 pying on Canal street, could not give 

 any comparison with other years. E. 

 Eichling left them April 1. M. M. L.
