The Florists' Review 



OCTOBXB 24, 1012. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



dub Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 New Orleans Horticultural Society was 

 held October 17 at Kolb 's German Tav- 

 ern. Hermann Doescher presided, the 

 secretary, 0. E. Panter, was at his desk 

 and many members were present. 



During the discussions of the eve- 

 ning Secretary Panter brought up the 

 question of holding social gatherings 

 after the regular meetings during the 

 winter months. He pointed out that by 

 doing this a much larger attendance, 

 as well as an increase in membership, 

 could be secured. It is done with 

 much success in other large cities; why 

 not heref Everyone present shared his 

 opinion and promised to support this 

 plan, which will be brought before the 

 society at the next meeting, November 

 21. No efforts will be spared to make 

 this meeting a large and interesting 

 one, with definite arrangements for the 

 new feature. 



Bichard Eichling, foreman at U. J. 

 Virgin's nursery, made a fine exhibit 

 of palms, ferns and foliage plants. His 

 Cocos Weddelliana and Areca lutescens 

 were declared the best ever seen here; 

 in fact, all his plants were highly com- 

 mented upon. Hermann Doescher 

 showed some fine October Frost chrys- 

 anthemums. A vote of thanks was ten- 

 dered to the exhibitors by the society. 



Various Notes. 



Frank J. Eeyes & Co. have enlarged 

 their store, now occupying the entire 

 building at 301 to 305 Bourbon street. 

 They are hustling day and night, con- 

 stantly increasing their business, and 

 are bound to make good in the course 

 of time. 



Frank Bieth reports a good business 

 for the beginning of the fall trade, 

 and says the winter season, although 

 short, will be most satisfactory. 



J. St. Mard has bought four lots on 

 Salcedo street, where he is busy erect- 

 ing a new residence. The start for a 

 nursery will be made later. B. £. 



St. Paul, Minn. — The Merriam Park 

 Floral Co., capital $25,000, has been 

 incorporated by Max Eaiser, of St. 

 Paul, and Peter P. Quist and Nels O. 

 Welander, of Minneapolis.
