NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market. 



This year's carnival business was as 

 good as usual. The city was filled with 

 strangers from all parts of the country 

 and abroad. Little money is spent at 

 the florists' establishments by the vis- 

 itors; the bulk of the patronage comes 

 from our own people. The flower stores 

 were gorgeously decorated with the 

 choicest cut flowers and pot plants, 

 which attracted a great deal of atten- 

 tion and admiration. The decorations 

 at the various carnival 'balls and re- 

 ceptions were artistic, and the bouquets 

 presented to the various queens and 

 their maids of honor were as beautiful 

 as any ever used for these occasions. 

 The weather, although a little cold and 

 cloudy, was otherwise favorable until 

 the evening of Carnival day, when a 

 heavy rain, which continued all night, 

 somewhat marred the last hours of 

 frolic. On the morning of February 

 25 we had the first snowfall since 1899, 

 with a temperature of 36 degrees. The 

 novel sight lasted about forty-five min- 

 utes, but, on account of the wet ground, 

 was a thing of the past by noon. No 

 harm was done to outside vegetation. 



Club Meeting. 



The New Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its monthly meeting Febru- 

 ary 26 at the Chamber of Commerce 

 building. P. A. Chopin presided, with 

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

 a fair attendance. The meeting was in- 

 teresting and was enjoyed by all pres- 

 ent. The committees on by-laws and 

 on the flower show reported progress 

 and will bring in substantial reports 

 at the next meeting. 



Ed. Baker, superintendent of the local 

 parking commission, gave an interest- 

 ing and instructive talk on the progress 

 made during the winter. He stated 

 that about 1,200 trees of various kinds 

 have been planted during the last two 

 months and that by the end of the 

 planting season about 2,500 trees will 

 be disposed of in different sections of 

 the city. 



J. A. Newsham exhibited beautiful 

 plants of Dendrobium nobile album, 

 Cattleya speciosissima and Oncidium 

 splendidum. 



Richard Eichling, foreman of U. J. 

 Virgin's nursery, brought a large pan
