NEW OBI£ANS. 



The Market. 



' New Year's day was one of the 

 gloomiest we have had in many a year, 

 but nevertheless the business was above 

 expectations, both in the sale of plants 

 and cut flowers; the latter being put 

 up in hundreds of boxes New Year's 

 eve at the different flower stores for 

 early morning delivery. We are now 

 at the height of the social and the be- 

 ginning of the carnival season, which 

 was ushered in by its first ball, Janu- 

 ary 5. Every storekeeper was delight- 

 ed with the business of the first week 

 in the new year, because the various 

 social functions, as well as the fuperals 

 of two prominent men, helped to clean 

 up nearly aU of the incoming stock, 

 which is of exceptionally good grade. 



Eoman hyacinths and Paper White 

 narcissi grown by local florists are com- 

 ing in handy at present, when all out- 

 door grown flowers are practically gone. 

 Home grown sweet peas are scarce, 

 being raised outside and therefore sub- 

 jected to the inclemency of the 

 weather; and if the approaching cold 

 wave strikes us good and hard it will 

 put an end to this valuable flower. 



Various Notes. 



U. J. Virgin's azaleas created a sen- 

 sation on New Year's eve and were 

 sold out at the highest figures. 



J. C. Quinette reported a fine holiday 

 trade and is booking heavy orders for 

 fruit and ornamental trees and shrub- 

 bery. 



F. A. Quinette is doing well at his new 

 store on Baronne street, handling chief- 

 ly outdoor nursery stock. R. E.

Club Meeting. 



The prevailing blizzard and numerous 

 counter attractions occasioned a re- 

 duced attendance at the meeting of the 

 Springfield Florists' Club, held on Mon- 

 day evening, January 8, in the direct- 

 ors' room of the American Trust and 

 Savings Bank. 



The reading of the paper prepared 

 for this meeting was postponed until 

 the time for the February meeting, at 

 which a sauerkraut supper in one of 

 the greenhouse sheds will serve as the 

 sort of attraction which invariably acts 

 as a "puller." 



Charles W. Schmidt and Clinton L. 

 Reese were appointed a committee to 

 confer with the various florists in re- 

 gard to an exhibit in connection with 

 the corn show to be held January 16 

 to 20 in the tabernacle erected for the 

 recent services conducted by Billy 

 Sunday. 



In an informal discussion, numerous 

 matters of special interest were con- 

 sidered and the prospects for the future 

 of the plant shipping business were 

 talked over by various members.
