NEV ORLEANS. 



Current Comment. 



The florist in i^ew Orleans who is sup- 

 plied with an unlimited quantity of wa- 

 ter is lucky. It is the misfortune of our 

 city, situated on the banks of the longest 

 river in the world, to have the poorest 

 accommodation with our waterworks sys- 

 tem. The price is high, the pressure of 

 the water is low and lately the drainage 

 system, established all over town, seems 

 to make matters worse. Consequently our 

 gardens have been suffering during a 

 hot, dry spell. 



The chrysanthemum crop seems to be 

 growing well enough, but it is too early 

 to give a final opinion. 



Peter Kaul is heels over head with 

 garden work. He is a genuine hustler 

 and is well assisted by his wife. Dur- 

 ing the last season he kept five wagons 

 going all the time, to different markets 

 and peddling plants around town, and 

 he says he was quite satisfied with that 

 new department, obtaining better prices 

 than at his stands, where competition 

 was sometimes too keen. He is now a 

 lively buyer to replenish his stock, which 

 he sells at the uptown markets. 



T. Oubre, at the corner of Tchoupe- 

 toulas and Valmont streets, grows nice 

 ferns and other stock, which he sells at 

 the uptown markets. 



All the bids for the hothouse to be 

 erected at the City park were rejected. 

 Julius Roch, the architect, and one of 

 the commissioners of the park, assisted 

 by Frank E. Brocker, the head gardener, 

 will erect the buildings. M. M. L. 



August 8 was a gala day at the nur- 

 sery of the Metairie Ridge Nursery Co., 

 being the birthday of Harry Papworth, 

 the popular president, and the employees 

 presented him with a fine silver-mounted 

 umbrella, with the following inscription: 

 "Presented to Mr. Harry Papworth, 

 August 8, 1907, by his employees." C. 

 Baker, who made the presentation in be- 

 half of the employees, spoke very highly 

 of Mr. Papworth as a kind employer, 

 etc., and stated that the men, appreciat-

ing his kindness, were every ready to do 

 all they possibly could for the benefit of 

 the nursery. After the presentation, a 

 toast waa drunk to the health, wealth 

 and happiness of Mr. Papworth, and 

 then a new Old Glory was raised on a 

 60-foot pole, and 'when the flag unfurled, 

 forty-four roses dropped out of the bunt- 

 ing and forty-four cannon crackers were 

 fired, indicating the age of Mr. Pap- 

 worth. Then all retired to the new, 

 large potting shed, where a bountiful 

 supply of eatables, refreshments and ci- 

 gars were served for the balance of the 

 day. Several prominent florists called 

 during the day. R, E, S.
