NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market. 



Christmas is not of the same impor- 

 tance in New Orleans to florists as it is 

 to those in the north, but still the de- 

 mand for flowers, trees and general deco- 

 rations is on the increase every year and 

 we can expect a lively demand this week. 

 Our chrysanthemums are coming to an 

 end, but we can still cut some fine roses 

 which have not been touched by the cold. 

 Our home-grown narcissi will soon ap- 

 pear. They are not as white as the im- 

 ported Paper Whites, but they come in 

 handy for ordinary business. 



Qub Meetiii£. 



Thursday, December 16, our local so- 

 ciety had its monthly meeting. The dis- 

 play of plants was creditable. James A. 

 Newsham, who had lately quite a number 

 of different varieties of orchids coming 

 into flower, had some extra good sprays 

 of Cattleya Trianse alba. The Metairie 

 Eidge Nurseries had some well grown 

 Gloire de Lorraine begonias. U. J. Vir- 

 gin showed some azaleas and lily of the 

 valley. Abele Bros, had a variety of 

 begonia. 



It was announced that E. Baker has 

 been nominated superintendent of the city 

 parking commission. It is the best move 

 that could have been made. The commis- 

 sion was so far composed of men all full 

 of good intentions, but not being thor- 

 oughly competent on the subject they 

 could not do better than by taking such 

 a man as Mr. Baker as co-worker. With 

 his long experience as manager of public 

 parks, they surely made a good selection. 



Secretary C. E. Panter said that the 

 chartering of the society was in the hands 

 of the lawyer, J. C. Valdo. M. M. L.
