The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Febrdarv 24, 1910. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market. 



We are coming to the end of a 

 winter which has been bad for the sale 

 of plants. As early and steady cold 

 weather has nipped the vegetation in our 

 beautiful gardens, nobody wanted to buy 

 fresh stock before the warm season would 

 open again. This will soon come and 

 business, no doubt, will be much better 

 then. In cut flowers and decorations the 

 season has been exceptionally good, 

 Christmas, New Year's and the carnival 

 season creating a big demand for cut 

 flowers, better than for many years pre- 

 vious. Several of our local growers have 

 been growing and disposing of their stock 

 to the full capacity of their greenhouses. 

 Also the importation of flowers from 

 other localities has been more extensive 

 than ever. At the markets nothing is be- 

 ing done so far, but it is a matter of 

 only a short time before business will 

 open. 



Qub Meeting. 



Vice-President Herman Doescher was 

 chairman of the last meeting of the New 

 Orleans Horticultural Society. Nobody 

 blamed A. Alost, the president, for not 

 being present, as the wind was blowing 

 at that time a regular blizzard, and the 

 automobile bus, lately running from his 

 place to town, would not have been safe 

 enough to carry him back home. The 

 • mercury went down to 22 degrees above 

 and the florists were wondering what it 

 must be when it is that much below zero, 

 as reported from other places. Still, 

 some fine samples of cucumbers were 

 brought for inspection by H. Doescher. 

 The quality is right, but the prices are 

 not quite satisfactory. As usual, the 

 Metairie Eidge Nurseries and U. J. Vir- 

 gin had on exhibition some good home- 

 grown flowers. This cold spell will, no 

 doubt, be the last of this winter, and 

 now let us look for a lovely opening of 

 the spring season. M. M. L. 



Dover, N. H. — Charles L. Howe, pro- 

 prietor of the Garrison Hill greenhouses, 

 has been ill, but is now reported as con- 

 valescent.
