After a lively discussion on the subject, 

 a motion was made by Harry Papworth 

 not to have any. The vote of the mem- 

 bers was favorable to the motion and it 

 was agreed among them that only an in- 

 formal exhibit of plants will be made 

 about that time. No location was se- 

 lected. 



A state exhibit took place lately at 

 Jeanerette, a small, thriving place in 

 Louisiana. It seems to have been a 

 success as far as the exhibit of horti- 

 cultural products was concerned. Only 

 one florist from New Orleans was repre- 

 sented, but C. W. Eichling says that 

 there is a good opening for business 

 there. People are interested in flowers. 



Charles Eble is quite proud of the dis- 

 tinction he received at the convention 

 for his new fern. He invited the so- 

 ciety to hold its next meeting at his 

 residence. He is ready to move to his 

 former quarters, now rebuilt, on Baronne 

 street, near Canal street. 



The weather continues favorable to 

 chrysanthemums. So far, outside grown 

 flowers will give more satisfaction than 

 those under glass. M. M. L.
