The Market. 



A cold snap the latter part of last 

 week gives promise of good bjy^iness in 

 the near future. The intense heat of 

 the first part of the month brought all 

 the roses out at one time, and, as a re- 

 sult, now when we need them they are 

 scarce. Carnations are still short, but 

 coming in larger quantities every day. 

 Lilies are still plentiful. 



Various Notes.

NEW ORLEANS. 



The New Orleans Horticulturists held 

 an interesting meeting September 17. 

 Among the instructive and enjoyable 

 features of the occasion was the exhibi- 

 tion by J. A. Newsham of orchids 

 brought back by him from the tropics. 

 Messrs. C. Eble and H. Papworth gave 

 an interesting description of their recent 

 visit to the national convention at 

 Niagara Falls. The New Orleans Floral 

 Society sent the Horticulturists $16.95, 

 the former having decided to disband. 

 Mr. Newsham resigned as chairman of 

 the arrangement coifimittee of the flower 

 show, on account of press of business, 

 and Mr. Papworth was appointed to suc- 

 ceed him. The resignation of W. P. Mc- 

 Lennen was accepted and John Heme, H. 

 A. Steckler and M. J. Gurthe elected new 

 members. The Horticulturists voted $5 

 to the .Diamond Festival.
