The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



jANnABT 23, 1908. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



Various Notes. 



Thursday night, January 16, a cold 

 wave passed over New Orleans, fresh 

 enough to keep many florists from at- 

 tending the monthly meeting of the New 

 Orleans Horticultural Society, and there 

 was no quorum. 



Owing, no doubt, to a steady cold win- 

 ter, business in plants is dull. Cut flow- 

 ers are in good demand, bulb stock be- 

 ing disposed of as fast as in good shape. 

 The field roses went dormant and will 

 not show many flowers for about two 

 months. 



R. Eichling, with U. J. Virgin, has 

 had callas in full bloom for some time. 

 He grows them in pots and finds them 

 doing better than in the ground. His 

 Paper White narcissi and Roman hya- 

 cinths are grown outside in frames pro- 

 tected by glass. He cuts Paper Whites 

 with stems twelve to eighteen inches 

 long, about twelve florets to the spray. 

 They are certainly as nice as can be 

 grown and stronger than when forced in 

 flats. He uses only cold storage valley 

 and, with good pips, he is exception- 

 ally successful. U. J. Virgin grows an 

 immense quantity of bulbs to supply his 

 store. For the next month, until Mardi 

 gras, the demand for bulb stock will be 

 large. A larger business than before is 

 being anticipated this year. 



James A. Newsham has a flower of 

 Cypripedium villosum. It is not found 

 in many collections of orchids and is 

 rare. The outline of the flower is odd. 

 At his place he says that his house of 

 callas is in perfect bloom. 



Frank Brocker, head gardener at the 

 City park, is busy moving his plants to 

 the new greenhouse. It will be the best 

 equipped house around here in every re- 

 spect. The boiler is a Henderson and 

 the piping is so arranged that it can be 

 regulated to send more or less heat into 

 different parts of the house. The propa- 

 gating house is unusually large, as a 

 large number of bedding plants must be 

 grown. A quantity of hotbed sashes also 

 are used. . M. M. L. 



LiNDENWOLD, N. J. — S. E. & H. D. 

 Moore say that new properties are 

 steadily being developed in this vicinity 

 and they look forward to a better busi- 

 ness in 1908 than they had last year. 



East Liverpool, O. — At the green- 

 houses of the Lake Newell Floral Co. 

 one of the interesting sights is a growth 

 of fine mushrooms surrounding a bed of 

 sweet peas. The soil provided for the 

 sweet peas seems to be well suited for , 

 the production of a healthy crop of 

 mushrooms.
