Club Meeting. 



.The Xew Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its regular monthly meeting 

 *UguHt 20 at the Association of Com- 

 "'erce building. President P. A. Chopin 

 *^<1 ^Secretary C. R. Panter were at 



neir respective places and a fair num- 

 .j^' ''f members was present. After 



ne regular routine work was com- 

 PJeted, the holding of a spring show 



*8 discussed, as the buildings for the 

 Proposed state fair during the month 



t November will not be finished this 



fall 



After some debate President 



Chopin urged the members to come in 

 force to the next meeting, in Septem- 

 ber, fortified with plans and sugges- 

 tions for a show in the spring of 1915. 

 The only real diflSculty is the ob- 

 taining of a suitable place within the 

 business thoroughfare at the time 

 wanted. The florists have the material 

 and know how to grow the stock 

 wanted at the right time. 



The importation of French and Hol- 

 land bulbs and plants for the coming 

 season was discussed. All expressed 

 the hope that hostilities in Europe 

 would find an early ending and the 

 various ports be opened for commerce. 



Peter Chopin, C. W. Eichling and R. 



Eichling took part in a discussion as 

 to the advisability of planting cold- 

 storage lilies of all kinds for summer 

 crops. The first and last named stated 

 their belief that it was only a waste of 

 time and money. 



C. W. Eichling brought a fine young 

 araucaria and was awarded ninety 

 points by the judges. 



This society is cosmopolitan in char- 

 acter and it must be stated that the 

 best of good fellowship existed during 

 and especially after the meeting.

 son Floral Co. has been changed to the 

 Twin City Floral Co.
