NEW ORLEANS. 



In the month of May we can say in 

 New Orleans that the best season to sell 

 plants is over. This year has not been 

 satisfactory, by any means. After a 

 mild winter the gardens were full 

 enough of plants which had survived to 

 not require much new planting. Besides, 

 the prices, owing to some surplus pro- 

 duction and close competition, have 

 been decidedly lower than usual. 



r. X. Baker, who supplies several 

 markets downtown, is selling young 

 roses at a low figure. It is astonishing 

 to see the growth these little cuttings 

 received from the north make in two or 

 three months, when planted in the right 

 soil. They become bushes which look as 

 though they were two or three years old. 



B. Eichling is again with U. J. Virgin. 



E. Lockerbie took the contract to 

 level the neutral ground of Canal street.

TARRYTOWN. N. Y. 



The monthly meeting of the Tarry- 

 town Horticultural Society was held in 

 the regular meeting room April 30, with 

 President Howard Nichols in the chair. 

 Four magnificent specimens of calceolaria 

 in 6-inch pots were exhibited by Mr. At- 

 kins, gardener to Henry Seigle, Mama- 

 roneck, N. Y., who was awarded a cul- 

 tural certificate for the same exhibit. Mr. 

 Atkinson was also awarded a cultural 

 certificate for two plants of pelargoni- 

 ums. Eobert Allen, gardener to E. C. 

 Benedict, Greenwich Court, was awarded 

 a cultural certificate for a cluster of 

 the Princess of Wales tomato, there being 

 twenty-three large fruits on the cluster. 

 The monthly prize for two foliage plants 

 was awarded to D. McFarlane for Dra- 

 caena Lord Wolseley and Croton Lady 

 Zetland. 



Henry Seigle offers a silver cup for 

 the best table of ferns and flowering 

 plants at the fall show. 



The society voted to donate $25 toward 

 the fund for the proposed new hospital, 

 and to make a charge of 25 cents admis- 

 sion to the June show, the proceeds to 

 be turned over to the hospital fund. The 

 society voted also to lay out and decorate 

 the grounds around the new hospital, ex- 

 clusive of the rough grading.

Salem, Va. — Mr. and Mrs. J. E. 

 Simpson have a baby daughter. It is 

 the first grandchild of J. J. Curran, pro- 

 prietor of the Salem Conservatories.
