• NEW ORLEANS. 



After two weeks of spring weather we 

 are visited now by the tail of the bliz- 

 zard which is raging all over the coun- 

 try. The most of the florists' green- 

 houses down here are not exactly con- 

 structed to face zero weather and when 

 a fierce, cold, north wind penetrates 

 through every crack of the house, we 

 have a hard time to keep at least a 

 comfortable temperature inside, even if 

 the thermometer registers only 32 .de- 

 grees outside. 



Plants in gardens have been so far 

 touched very little, the weather having 

 been dry the few previous days. 



At the annual meeting of the Danneel 

 Park Commission, Charles R. Panter was 

 elected superintendent. M. M. L. 



RANDOM JOTTINGS. 



W. A. Wettlin, of Hornell, N. Y., says 

 business was swifter when his town had 

 a longer name and he thinks the city 

 fathers made a mistake in abbreviating 

 it. He keeps up a fine showing and, with 

 the arrival of the robin, looks for a re- 

 newal of good business. 



W. Ordway, of Hornell, has rented 

 part of his store to a piano concern, 

 rightly believing that music and flowers 

 harmoniously commingle. 



A. H. Woeppel, of Corning, N. Y., has 

 the material for two additional houses 

 and the choice of a fine frontage upon 

 which to erect them. He has a ten-acre 

 tract that is likely to become very valu- 

 able in a short time, as the town is 

 growing in his direction. He grows 

 Richmond to perfection and is also quite 

 successful with Marie Louise violets. 

 Miss "Woeppel is a floral artist of local 

 fame. 



H, N. HoflTman, of Elmira, N. Y., 

 says the United States Cut Flower Co. 

 had the best December in its history and 

 that the demand since that time has 

 been steady. His home plant is in ex- 

 cellent shape. Richard King is the 

 able foreman and Charles Edgar the well- 

 known shipper at the U. S. Co. 's exten- 

 sive establishment. The new carnation, 

 Marchioness, will be largely planted in 

 this locality if it behaves as well as it 

 does at home. It is a fine shipper. 



M. 



Carthage, Mo. — C. H. Hollied, for- 

 merly in business at Maryville and later 

 with Brenneman at "Webb City, is now 

 employed at Finn's greenhouses, and 

 Miss Nell Hollied is in charge of Mr. 

 Finn's retail sales at the store on Main 

 street. 



MiLFORD, Conn. — The R. H. Comstock 

 Co. has filed a certificate of incorpora- 

 tion. The capital is $10,000, with $8,000 

 paid in. The incorporators are Roger H. 

 Comstock and Harry L. Hungerford, of 

 Milford, and Chester Comstock, of 

 Ridgewood, N. J.
