NEW ORLEANS. 



New Orleans seems to be coming in 

 line with other cities for old Saxon cus- 

 toms, judging from the observance of 

 Christmas, which is now different from 

 what it was a few years ago. Christmas 

 greens and holly have been sold in large 

 quantity all over the streets and the flo- 

 rists have disposed of all the flowers 

 tney had on hand. 



James A. Newsham says he had a big 

 rush. *

 managed to have a large specimen plant 

 ot rhododendron in full bloom. It was 

 certainly a great curiosity for this time

of the year and they were well paid 

 for it. 



The hail storm December 22 passed 

 over only a part of the city, but did con- 

 siderable damage to a few florists. The 

 Metairie Eidge Nursery Co. loss will 

 amount to $1,000. J. A. Newsham will 

 have about 600 panes of glass to renew. 

 M. M. de Lapouyade's place was touched 

 to the amount of 100 glasses.
