JOLIET, ILL. 



After a visit to the fair, the writer 

 paid a visit also to the various carnation 

 companies. At the houses of the J. D. 

 Thompson Carnation Co. everything was 

 spick and span and ready for fall. The 

 genial foreman, P. W. Peterson, took 

 special delight in showing the visitors 

 over their establishment. I must say 

 that the outlook is certainly promising 

 for fine crops this winter. 



The Chicago Carnation Co. has all its 

 stock housed and will soon be cutting 

 carnations. 



Joseph Labo has everything well in 

 hand. Stock looks fine, and Mr, Labo 

 is just preparing to take a well earned 

 rest. A. O. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market. 



The weather has been favorable all 

 along to chrysanthemums, which will be 

 plentiful for All Saints' day, if nothing 

 tarns against them. This year we will 

 have two holidays on that occasion, and 

 everybody is preparing for a large 

 business. 



Marie Henrietta and Marechal Niel, 

 the two leading roses in New Orleans, 

 are fine and ready to be potted for win- 

 ter and spring trade. There is an all- 

 around complaint about caterpillars de- 

 stroying Boston ferns, the tenderness of 

 the leaves making it difficult to find an 

 insecticide strong enough to kill this pest 

 without injuring the foliage. 



Qttb Meeting. 



Warm weather, dull business and the 

 absence of many florists prevented the 

 holding of the society's meetings for 

 quite a while, but September 17 we had 

 tiie largest meeting since the annual elec- 

 tion of officers, who now took their new 

 positions. There was an abundance of 

 refreshments and at the table some in- 

 teresting topics were discussed. 



The few who had been happy enough 

 to go to Cincinnati and the surrounding 

 places spoke highly of what they had 

 seen. P. A. Chopin admitted that roses, 

 geraniums and soft bedding plants are 

 in the north superior to ours, but when 

 it comes to general vegetation, such as 

 hedges, palms, trees, etc., we are far 

 ahead. The growing of some plants 

 down here for the northern markets 

 should be more generally attempted, B. 

 M., Wichers made a few remarks aI)Qtit !

the way the plants are handled at the 

 markets in Cincinnati, stating that pot 

 ferns are sold at retail a good deal 

 higher than here, but that gladiolus 

 spikes are offered at 25 cents a hundred. 

 C. W. Eichling said he would like to 

 correspond with a grower who would 

 ship him these flowers at this price, being 

 short of them all the time and having to 

 pay much more for them at other places. 



Charles Eble came back quite satisfied 

 with his trip, having created a good im- 

 pression of what we can do here with 

 palms and having disposed of a lot of 

 Phoenix Roebelenii. 



The members had a long discussion 

 about the possibility of having the 

 S. A. F. convention in this city in the 

 near future. H. Cook first spoke on the 

 subject. He said the time was right to 

 take the matter in hand and offered to 

 head the subscription list with a nice 

 sum. Charles Eble said that, having ap- 

 proached several florists from Chicago, 

 Philadelphia, New York and other cen- 

 ters, he was quite certain that our chance 

 was good and that we should organize at 

 once. C. E. Panter warned the society 

 on the responsibility of the undertaking. 

 His long experience in the different or- 

 ganizations to which he belongs had a 

 good deal of weight on the subject. 

 H. Papworth said that for years he had 

 been considering the idea of having the 

 convention down here, but he was afraid 

 that N.»w Orleans was not centrally 

 enough located- Besides, he said, the 

 month of August is not .exactly the ideal
