Dear Sirs: We received the gardenias today in good condition 

 and are perfectly satisfled with them. They are nice buds. If they 

 sell well we shall give you a much larger order another time. I think 

 they will be very nice for Decoration Day. Tours truly, T. E. Bennett,

Sirs; I wish to thank you for your prompt delivery of jasmine buds 

 you sent me. I had them ordered, but at the last minute was disappointed 

 in not getting them. Yours were the finest I ever received and I will 

 certainly see that you will get my order the coming year again. Thank- 

 ing you, I remain, R. G. Schlotter, Gardener and Florist, 416 Main St.,

bedding stock. The big palm house is 

 in specially fine shape. The two new 

 houses built since Mr. Oatertag has taken 

 hold are more modern and up-to-date 

 than the old ones. The planting sea- 

 son has been backward, but the planting 

 out will start this week in this and all 

 the other parks, twenty-two in number, 

 which come under his supervision. Mr. 

 Oatertag has mapped out a large number 

 of new designs in bedding this year, 

 which will surprise some of the know- 

 ing ones when everything is finished up. 

 E. W. Guy, of Belleville, 111., spent 

 a day with friends in the trade here 

 last week. Mr. Guy reports the plant 

 trade slow, owing to the cold and rainy 

 weather, with plenty of orders ahead for 

 planting out when the weather permits. 



Tuesday, May 5, about 8 p. m., the 

 greenhouse men had quite a scare when 

 a wind storm was accompanied by hail 

 and a heavy rain. Fortunately, the hail 

 was not large enough to do much damage 

 to glass. The wind did some damage to 

 fine trees throughout the city.

NEW ORLEANS. 



Richmond, Va. — Ratcliffe & Tanner 

 are building some additional green- 

 houses. When these are completed, the 

 company will have between six and 

 eight acres under glass. 



The Market 



The first week of May was unusually 

 fresh, with favorable weather to start 

 planting chrysanthemums and make cut- 

 tings. Every florist in New Orleans 

 is now more or less busy with that im- 

 portant crop. Business in the line of 

 plants is slacking and, in fact, has not 

 been very brisk all the season. Field 

 roses have been bad so far. 



Club Banquet. 



The larger part of the New Orleans 

 Horticultural Society went in a body on 

 Sunday, May 3, to partake of a dinner 

 at Rose Villa, the beautiful place of A. 

 Alost, on Gentilly road, a few miles 

 from the city. 



It looks as if the society could not 

 exist without this annual reunion and, 

 as in previous years, the members highly 

 enjoyed themselves, being so well received 

 by Mr. Alost and the ladies of the 

 house. 



The mayor of our city, Martin Behr- 

 man, was one of the guests and, to say 

 the least, it was a sure proof of the 

 esteem paid to the florists of New Or- 

 leans. 



The others present were: John Eblen, 



Jos, Steckler, H. S. Karstendick, Otto 

 Abele, H. Y. Xraak, Otto Werner, L. 

 Buchner, Paul Abele, B. M. Wichers, A.

OssiNiNO, N. Y, — V. Hugo Pilat has 

 made a trip to the Pacific coast and is 

 now sojourning at Santa Barbara, Cal. 



Fort Wayne, Ind.— W. J. & M. S. 

 Vesey have leased a room on Calhoun 

 street, between Berry and Wayne streets, 

 and will take possession July 1, using it 

 as their downtown store. Mrs, Auger 

 was formerly the downtown selling agent 

 for the Vesey greenhouses. The new 

 store will be run exclusively by the 

 Veseys themselves, 



Newark, N, J, — As Ferdinjind Bendt, 

 who died of typhoid fever April 11, left 

 no will, F, W. O, Schmitz, the florist of 

 Princebay, N. Y,, has been appointed ad- 

 ministrator of the estate, Mr. Schmitz 

 has also been made the guardian of the 

 two children. The estate, as already 

 stated in the Review, is valued at about 

 $200,000.
