Current Q>mmeiit. ■ 



The weather has lately been quite 

 tavorable for the working of the private 

 gardens. It is now the time to sow 



English rye grass seeds for our winter 

 lawns, and every gardener is quite busy 

 at the job. Gardening is a business which 

 has been greatly on the increase here dur- 

 ing the last few years, and we think that 

 no other city in the United States em- 

 ploys so many gardeners. Besides, they 

 all seem to do well at the occupation. 



The culture of cucumbers- as a crop to 

 follow chrysanthemums is practiced by 

 many growers here. In fact, some pay no 

 attention to any other crop. Our bright, 

 sunny days in -winter are ideal for the 

 growing of these vegetables under glass, 

 and thus they can be grown in large 

 quantities at a time when they command 

 high prices. J. Shaekai, H. Baker, the 

 Metairie Eidge Nursery Co., D. Gurtler 

 and H. Doescher are among the most suc- 

 cessful growers in this line. 



On visiting Mr. Doescher 's place, we 

 found him busy rearranging his piping 

 and filUng his solid beds with fresh soil 

 from a near-by pasture. His cucumbers 

 were already well advanced in pots and 

 he expects a good return. His field-grown 

 roses are as fine as any around Gentilly 

 avenue, which is one of the richest and 

 highest spots in or about this city. His 

 Boston ferns, of which he makes a spe- 

 cialty, are fast becoming well established 

 after the bad check they received during 

 the September storm. 



Abele Bros, have just completed a new 

 sash house, 20x100, to cover a bed of 

 Asparagus plumosus.

The Market 



Thanksgiving trade was good, particu- 

 larly when the unfortunate weather con- 

 ditions are considered. November 24 

 there was a northeast gale, accompanied 

 by rain, hail and snow, while November 

 25 was as damp, dreary and cheerless a 

 day as could well be imagined. Had 

 climatic conditions been favorable, it is 

 doubtful if there would have been suffi- 

 cient flowers to go around. The growers 

 fared better than the retailers. While 

 the latter did a good business, the in- 

 clement weather seriously affected it. 



Chrysanthemums appeared" in large 

 quantities. No high price was made, $3 

 per dozen being about top notch. Such
