Current Comment. 



Business is slackening at all the mar- 

 kets. This year has be^n about the same 

 as last in the number of plants sold, but 

 prices have been lower. Work in the 

 gardens is plentiful, and this part of the 

 business is all the time on a steady in- 

 crease. Tree planting is over and little 

 has been done. No doubt, next year the 

 movement to embellish the city will be 

 on a better footing. A new botanical 

 garden is to be started at Audubon park. 

 Prof. Reginald S. Cooks will be in charge. 

 It is endowed by Mrs. T. G. Richardson. 

 A part of the experiments will be for 

 the benefit of gardeners, in a large collec- 

 tion of trees and exotics suitable for our 

 soil and climate. 



The Horticultural Society met Thurs- 

 day, May 20. Xiie election of new offi- 

 cers is nearly at hand and the society ex- 

 pects to make it a lovely evening for the 

 members. Arrangements for an outing 

 are talked about. On the exhibition table 

 was a new species of climbing sweet pea 

 from Japan, seeds received by U. J. Vir- 

 gin and grown by R. Eichling, who says 

 they arc quite an improvement and a 

 good white for fine flower work at this 

 time of the year. .1. Newsham cuts quan- 

 tities of orchid sprays. He showed Cat- 

 tleya Mendellii and La?lia Digbyana. 



The Metairie Ridge Nurseries invited 

 the public to come and see the large field

 visitor was presented with a bunch of cut 

 blooms. Outside of the city they grow to 

 perfection. In private gardens in the 

 city they require some attention to be 



kept free of the white fly, which spoils 

 the leaves and disfigures the flowers.
