The Weekly Florists' Review* jAxuAHr 13. mo 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market 



We have had, these last few days, 

 weather cold enough to kill the tender 

 plants in our gardens, and from that we 

 can anticipate a good demand for plants 

 when the season opens. It was not so 

 low as many florists wished, but the worst 

 has not come yet. The month of Feb- 

 ruary is usually the coldest month in New 

 Orleans. Cut flowers are much in de- 

 mand, outside stock having disappeared 

 altogether. 



Various Notes. 



At the Metairie Kidge Nurseries every- 

 thing looks well. H. Papworth, the man- 

 ager, has a gang of men digging up a 

 large lot of nursery stock to be planted 

 towards the lake shore for the Land Im- 

 proving Company, He also has other big 

 jobs outside of town which will keep 

 them quite busy for a long time. The 

 outdoor plants have been a little bruised 

 by the late cold spell, but no great dam- 

 age has been done so far. The green- 

 house roses look better than ever. They 

 are cutting enough buds to supply their 

 own trade. The W. K. Smith rose is 

 coming to the front as one of the best. 

 American Beauty, My Maryland and 

 other varieties occupy many benches. In 

 the line of new varieties he expects much 

 of Chateau Clos Vougeot, an extra double 

 red rose of French origin. One which is 

 also superior to many, adapting itself to 

 any kind of soil and a good outside 

 grower, producing quality and quantity 

 of flowers, is K. B. Cant. It could be 

 called a double Papa Gontier; it is of 

 English origin. Looking all the time for 

 something new, Mr. Papworth has been 

 importing from France a lot of shrubs 

 grown in the southern part of France. 

 As the climate of southern Louisiana is 

 about the same as in the southern part of 

 France, some good acquisitions will cer- 

 tainly be obtained. The acacia family is 

 largely represented. Cucumbers have suc- 

 ceeded the chrysanthemums in some of 

 the houses and they look fine. In the line 

 of chrysanthemums he will propagate 

 Elsie Papworth, a newly introduced sort. 

 He is the only grower having the right 

 to distribute it on this side of the Dixie 

 line. It will be a great improvement 

 over Mrs. Robinson, opening better. The 

 place is certainly improving all the time. 

 The city waterworks has been installed 

 from a long distance, but Mr. Papworth 

 thinks it will be a paying investment, 

 having better water and more pressure.

Nephrolepis Elegantissima Compacta 



Anotber New Fern Orlarlnatlns; wltb us Introduced faU 1909 



Of all the valuable introductionB in ferns that we have sent out, beginninf; with the Pierson 

 (Nephrolepis Piersoni). we consider the EleKantlulm* compacta the most valuable of 

 all, particularly from a commercial standpoint. 



While this resembles Elegantissima in a general way, it is far superior to that variety, on 

 account of its perfect habit. Tet it can hardly be compared with Elegantissima in a general 

 way, because it occupies a place by itself and is as distinct from Elegantissima as that variety 

 is from Piersoni— in fact. It bears the same relation to Elegantissima tbat Scottii does to 

 Bostoniensis. BleKantltalma compacta has an ideal habit. The fronds are considerably 

 shorter than those oi Elegantissima, and it is a more compact plant. It throws a great many 

 more crowns naturally, making a very bushy, dwarf, compact plant. The difference between 

 the two varieties may be seen at a glance. 



Fine, strong plants, 2>4-tn. pots, fS.OO per doz.. fSB.OO per 100; 4-in. pots, $7.00 per dOE., 

 950.00 per 100; 6-in. pans, $1.50 eafh: 8-in. pans, $3.00 each. 



We make a specialty of all kinds of Nephroiepla, carrying a large stock of all sizes at all 

 times- Piersoni, Elegantissima, Superbissima, Bostoniensis, Scottii, Wbitmani, Amerpohlii, etc.
