NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market. 



The opening of the French Opera 

 House, November 14, marked the inau- 

 guration of the social winter season 

 and much is expected from this by the 

 different florists. If the attractive cus- 

 tom of carrying a few flowers is kept 

 up by the ladies occupying boxes on 

 opera nights, it means surely a boon 

 for all the storekeepers in the florists' 

 line. Several hundred expensive 

 bunches and corsages were furnished 

 bv the leading florists and added great- 

 ly to the beautiful and dazzling spec- 

 tacle. 



The convention of the National Bank- 

 ers ' Association in the Crescent City, 

 during the present week, is calling for 

 many decorations, some of them on an 



elaborate scale, with an additional de- 

 mand for high grade cut flowers. Many 

 receptions for both day and evening, 

 as well as some weddings, are sched- 

 uled on the social calendar for the sea- 

 son and an optimistic view on the part 

 of the florists in general is prevailing. 

 The landscape gardeners are kept 

 quite busy at present with the sowing 

 of English rye or winter grass, and the 

 planting of bulbs and annuals. Both 

 of these bloom here outdoors during 

 the winter months, and, with the car- 

 pet-like, beautiful lawns, give to our 

 gardens a charming, spring-like appear- 

 ance. Since the beginning of this 

 month we have had all kinds of sud- 

 den changes in the temperature, rang- 

 ing from 85 to 33 degrees, but no dam- 

 age to plants was done, all the tender 

 ones being housed. 



Club Meeting. 



The New Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety held a highly instructive month- 

 ly meeting November 16, at Kolb's 

 German Tavern. President Claude Ory 

 and Secretary C. R. Panter were in 

 their respective places and there was a 

 large and enthusiastic attendance. C. 

 R. Panter, as chairman of the show 

 committee, brought in a verbal report.
