NEV ORLEANS. 



Horticultural Society. 



The New Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its monthly meeting Thursday, 

 January 21. A communication from 

 Prof. W. Newell, of the State Crop Pest 

 Commission, was read, warning the hor- 

 ticulturists to look out for a fish-tailed 

 moth, a very destructive insect which 

 has made its appearance lately and is 

 dangerous to plants and flowers. The 

 finance committee presented its report. 



An interesting paper on "The Grow- 

 ing of Bulbs in the South" was read by 

 R. Eichling. His long experience on the 

 subject made valuable the cultural direc- 

 tions he gave on the different bulbs best 

 adapted to the south as a commercial 

 crop, the two important points being the 

 selection of the kinds and the treatment 

 most suitable to our climate. 



Various Note*. 



J. A. Newsham had some fine spikes 

 of Oneidium splendidum and Cattleya 

 Trianse at the club meeting. On visiting 

 his place a few days ago, we saw the 

 finest collection of orchids to be found 

 in the south. Having standing orders 

 with different collectors, Mr. Newsham is 

 constantly increasing his stock by new 

 importations from different places, some 

 of which he visited a few months ago. 

 Mr. Newsham says that his next trip 

 will extend as far as South America. 

 The Oneidium splendidum, which he has 

 in bloom in quantity, have been bloom- 

 ing two months since they were received. 

 A house of Easter lilies, imported di- 

 rectly from Japan, looks promising, 



M. Cook's Sons have a large bench of 

 Hydrangea Otaksa in different stages of 

 growth, some ready to open the flowers. 



B. M. Wichers, of Gretna, says he is 

 progressing nicely on his new place 

 thirty miles from New Orleans. Pend- 

 ing the growing of palms and shade 

 trees, he will gro\^ cucumbers, melons 

 and other vegetables well adapted to the 

 situation. 



Abele Bros, report a heavy business in 

 truit trees and roses. 



The newly erected greenhouses at the 

 ^ity park can be seen now to the best 

 advantage. The collection of crotons is

gorgeous; the begonias and ferns are 

 perfect. The head gardener, F. Brocker, 

 is busy with annuals grown in the frames 

 outside. 



The demand for euphorbia bracts is 

 generally reported as having been large 

 this year. Why could we not grow them 

 outside, with a slight protection, and 

 ship them north? M. M. L. 



TOPEKA, KAN. 



.1. M. Kessler says that Topeka has 

 had its share of dull spell following the 

 holidays. If it were not f ( r other peo- 

 ple dying during such s] ells it would 

 certainly be the florist's turn. The leg- 

 islature and new administration usually 

 liven up social affairs. Two weeks ago 

 he decorated the Auditorium and capitol 

 for the governor's inaugural. This week 

 he is decorating the governor's mansion 

 for a large reception and he has two 

 or three like events booked for the near 

 future. 



Last week he had two florist visitors, 

 Mrs. Raymond Miller, of Abilene, Kan., 

 and C. H. Frey, of Lincoln, Neb. Mr. 

 Frey is recognized as one of the most 

 successful florists west of the Mississippi.
