NEW ORmANS. 



The Market. 



Unusually cold weather was felt here 

 around Christmas. Holly, greens of all 

 kinds and Christmas trees were fairly dis- 

 posed of this season. Plants in pots were 

 not much in demand. The most business 

 was done with cut flowers and bouquets 

 of all sorts, showing a large increase 

 over last year. Had the temperature 

 been a few degrees lower our city gar- 

 dens would have been badly touched and 

 in need of new stock. The damage was 

 done more to the leaves, but still many 

 sorts of plants will have to be renewed, 

 and the prospects for a good spring sale 

 are quite encouraging. 



Florists attending to decorations are 

 quite busy. M. M. L. 



Belvideee, III. — John W. Lyon is to 

 open a flower store at 205 South State 

 street. 



New Orleans, La. — The display case 

 for cut flowers in the new store of Charles 

 Eble, in the Gruenewald Hotel building, 

 was built to order by the McCray Eefrig- 

 erator Co., Kendallville, Ind. 



Pawtucket, E. I. — James Hockey, of 

 the Prospect Greenhouses, has been in 

 somewhat feeble health for some time. 

 He has been able to give some attention 

 to business, however, and trade has beea 

 ten per cent better than last year. 



Berlin, Md. — D. W. Babcock has leased 

 the Dr. Hammond place, consisting of 

 fifty acres, on South Main street, right 

 in town, and will plant it to nursery and 

 florists' stock. Mr. Babcock is a life- 

 long nurseryman, having graduated from 

 the nurseries of western New York. He 

 has been foreman for J. G. Harrison & 

 Sons for the last ten years. 



Lake Charles, La. — C. D. Otis is 

 taking active steps toward establishing a 

 range of greenhouses and a nursery at 

 Port Arthur, Tex., and it is said tJiat 

 John W. Gates is also interested in the 

 promotion of the enterprise. It is prob- 

 able that the old government experi- 

 mental farm, near Port Arthur, will be 

 selected for the purpose, as it has good 

 railroad connections and other advan- 

 tages. Mr. Otis is president of the 

 Louisiana State Horticultural Association.
