NEW ORLEANS. 



Tlie demand for tlie white lily, of the 

 longiflonim family, is quite recent, at 

 least in Xew Orleans. This lily, which 

 we have grown almost wild in all the 

 gardens of the city and which was 

 brought down here many years ago, grow- 

 ing at will and coming to flower at irreg- 

 ular times according to the season, was 

 not much thought of as valuable for 

 Easter Sunday. However, by close at- 

 tention to its culture, we now can have 

 it developed to a perfect flower in time 

 for that ilay, and no better proof can 

 be given than what has been seen at 

 the establishment of James Newsham. 

 No finer lily, from cold storage or com- 

 ing from Bermuda or Japan, could be 

 found. He had a house of about 1,000 

 ])lant8, which were in perfect shape for 

 Kaster. The foliage was perfect, and 

 there were from eight to ten buds on 

 each plant, with not a trace of any dis- 

 ease. Since his first idea, about two 

 years ago, of establishing an orchid em- 

 porium in New Orleans to supply the 

 wholesale trade, and backed by a life 

 experience in orchid culture, James 

 Xewsham already has become a large im- 

 ])orter of orchids. He has now on hand 

 about 10,000 plants. The following are 

 the principal varieties: Oncidium splen- 

 didum, O. Cavendishianum, O, leucochi- 

 lum, I^adia superbiens, (Jattleya Skin- 

 neri, ('. Bowringeana, Lycaste Skinneri 

 and Odontoglossum grande. The differ- 

 ent species of oncidium are with him 

 more a specialty than any other, as he 

 has secured the full amount of what is 

 exported annually to this country. His 

 younger son is now in Honduras, collect- 

 ing Cattleya Bowringeana to fill up an 

 onier for Europe. James Newsham finds 

 the local trade good for cut flowers and 

 <lisposes of a quantity of bl6oms from his 

 l>lants. He has been building more 

 housed for roses and green stock and says 

 he is not done yet. 



Our first field roses were open in good 

 season for Easter and helped to make up 

 jnany bunches. 



Tlie market for Easter plants was not 

 much ahead of last yea^ but every flo- 

 rist was busy and some sav they did quite 

 well. ■ M. M. L. 



Fort Smith, Ark. — A. A. Pantet & 

 Co., who at present have six greenhouses, 

 each 20x150, expect to erect two more 

 houses near the end of the present season. 

 (Jeorge W. Rye, the firm's manager, says 

 that this town is growing rapidly and 

 business is good. Bedding plants have 

 been moving fast and the Easter trade 

 was heavy.
