Don't wait until you are ready to build to let your erection 

 contract. It will be too late then. Your neighbor had trouble getting builders 

 last year. Why should you? We are now mapping out the coming year's work.

The Market. 



The winter season is nearing its end, 

 and carnival balls and receptions are 

 following one another in rapid succes- 

 sion. Although the money spent for 

 plant decorations and cut flowers for 

 these occasions is less than in former 

 years, the business done by our retailers 

 has been quite satisfactory. The com- 

 petition among them is keener every 

 year, yet the end of each season finds 

 all of them in the field. The show win- 

 dows and store decorations of nearly 

 «very florist are becoming more artistic 

 and elaborate, and no doubt help to 

 some extent to increase the business. 

 Advertising in the daily papers is done 

 more now than formerly, but not on so 

 great a scale as by northern members of 

 the trade. 



The extremely warm weather all 

 through the month of January brought 

 on the various crops of bulbous stock in 

 rapid succession, and the stock on hand 

 at present exceeds the demand. Out- 

 ■door-grown sweet peas and single violets 

 are plentiful and of fine quality. The 

 predicted cold wave reached the city 

 February 7, but, luckily enough, was 

 not so severe as was expected. As we 

 have freezing weather all over the 

 northern part of Louisiana and a strong 

 northwestern wind is blowing, another 

 day or two may tell another story. If 

 the temperature should only reach the 

 28-degree mark the loss in outside stock 

 would be enormous. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Cook's nursery is surely in 

 fine condition, and his Adiantum Far- 

 leyense is the best seen here. He ex- 

 presses himself well satisfied with the 

 season's business. 



C. W. Eichling reports a good busi- 

 ness in every line. His first lot of 

 grafted pecan trees from his Bayou La- 

 combe nursery is on the market and 

 finds eager buyers on account of the 

 fine quality. E. E.
