NEW ORLEANS. 



The Horticultural Society. 



At this time of the year, when it is 

 warm and dull, the meetings of the New 

 Orleans Horticultural Society are not 

 very well attended. Still, at the last 

 meeting we had a fair attendance and 

 ex-President P. Chopin invited the mem- 

 bers to have their next monthly meeting 

 at his residence. He said he has a large, 

 airy front room and will do his best to' 

 take care of us. The general routine 

 of business was transacted. One of the 

 most interesting parts was the inspection 

 of a new nephrolepis introduced by Chas. 

 jEble. It is a spore from Anna Foster. 

 It will certainly take the first place as a 

 novelty among those that have been so 

 far introduced from the south. Chas. 

 Eble is taking it to the convention and 

 will try to dispose of part or all of his 

 stock. The society voted a certificate 

 of merit to the new-comer, ahd during 

 the partaking of refreshments it was 

 christened under the name of Eblii. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Cook and daughter are home again 

 from their European trip. Mr. Cook says 

 he is well satisfied with his rest, but that 

 there is nothing yet better than the Unit- 

 ed States and old New Orleans. 



H. Papworth, U. J. Virgin, Chas. Eble, 

 M. Cook and J. Newsham attended the 

 convention. 



Friends of O. Abele will be glad to 

 hear that he is improving after the se- 

 vere illness he just had. 



Communications have been received 

 from the Jeanerette Fair Association 

 concerning the fair to be held there Sep- 

 tember 11 to 15, inclusive. It is no 

 doubt a good opportunity for our Qo- 

 rjsts to send up an exhibit. It is rather 

 early to send chrysanthemums and a 

 little out of season for any pot plants, 

 but no doubt a good many florists will 

 take advantage of the very liberal prop- 

 osition made by the association.

 has swollen to the enormous quantity of 6000 of the 3 best known ARAUCABXA8, Excelsa,
