The Weekly Florists' Review* 



25 



You know what hot weather does to stock. Well, Milwaukee is well favored, 

 as we have no very hot weather here, and in consequence stock of all kinds is still in 

 good shape. Big cut of fancy Carnations, Roses and Giganteums. Try a few shipments 

 and be convinced.

Various Notes. 



F. Faessel says he has been quite busy 



l.itoly. 



d. Shackai, the chrysanthemum grower, 

 '"•s bought a square of ground, of the 

 nowly drained land around New Orleans, 

 I I'd is going to move there from the 



place he has been occupying on Bayou 

 St. John. 



The New Orleans Horticultural Society 

 had its annual election meeting at Milne- 

 burg. The new officers are: President, 

 A. Alost; vice-president, II. Doescher; 

 secretary, ('. K. Panter; treasurer, John 

 Eblen. ■ 



The newly elected president, A. Alo.st, 

 came from Belgium a few years ago. He 

 learned his trade in the large nurseries of 

 his native country. Engaging for some 

 time in farming, in the parish of Cal- 

 cassica, ho moved to New Orleans, where 

 he secured a large tract of ground in 

 Gentilly, one of the suburbs. He has 

 been there ever since, establishing a nurs- 

 ery of general stock, growing most 

 largely roses and mums for the trade. 

 He has been quite devoted to the interests 



of the society and well deserves his new 

 position. 



Hermau Doescher is a young man of 

 ambition to succeed and anxious for the 

 welfare of the society, and no doubt he 

 is in the right place. About Treasurer 

 John Eblen and Secretary C. R. Panter 

 so much has already been said at pre- 

 vious elections, the writer will only state 

 that every member of the society is well 

 satisfied to see them once more at their 

 posts. M. M. L.

AMERICAN PEONY SOCIETY. 



(Continued from page 7.) 



with the college authorities on this sub- 

 ,iect. . This committee met in Mr. Ward 's 

 office in New York and discussed the 

 subject, with the result that Mr. Brown, 

 of the Cottage Gardens Co., acting for 

 Mr. Ward, and myself were to send a let- 

 ter to Prof. Craig after his return, con- 

 veying the suggestions we had to offer. 

 This letter, however, was never sent, as 

 in the meantime, through correspondence 

 with Mr. Batchelor, we learned that 

 practically everything it was our inten- 

 tion to suggest was already being carried 

 out under the direction of Mr. Batchelor. 

 the college authorities having given him 

 full charge and power to do everytliing 

 which in his judgment was required for 

 the good of the peonies. Provision had 

 been made for drainage, and over eighty 

 loads of manure hauled on the plot. Any 

 further action on our part was deemed 

 unnecessary. 



Splendid ShowiDg This Year. 



This year the peonies made a splemlid 

 showing. They are strong ami liealthy 

 and, with but few exceptions, are full of 

 typical blooms, which gave us a splendid 

 opportunity to study them and make 

 comparison. What is most surprising, 

 the strongest plants and finest blooms 

 are in the portion of the plot that came 

 in for the greatest amount of criticism ; 

 that is, the lowest point in the field. 

 Here some of the choicest varieties are 

 found, many of them from the collections
