NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market. 



The summer travelers are gradually 

 returning to the city, and the first fall 

 weddings, although of small importance, 

 make things a little lively among the 

 retailers. Outside of single tuberoses 

 there is hardly anything in bloom at the 

 present time and the shipments from 

 the north are still reduced to the min- 

 imum. Plant shipments among the 

 wholesalers are gratifying and surely 

 there will be something doing later on;

J. A. Newsham, the local orchid spe- 

 cialist, has his immense stock in splen- 

 did condition. Dendrobium Phalaenop- 

 sis, Cattleya labiata, C. Bowringeana 

 and Vanda ccerulea are in bloom. Pha- 

 Isenopsis Schilleriana and P. amabilis 

 imported lately are well established.
