The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Apbil 22, 1909. 



NEV ORLEANS. 



Current G>mment. 



Following the example of several large 

 cities in the United States and Europe, 

 New Orleans is contemplating the estab- 

 lishment of a municipal nursery to grow 

 trees and plants to be used on the streets. 

 The idea is good, but such an enterprise 

 should be directed by competent men. 

 The New Orleans Horticultural Society 

 has certainly among its members some 

 able men, but so far it seems that the 

 parking commission has entirely disre- 

 garded any advice from that source and 

 a committee of two has been appointed 

 to appear before the city council in order 

 to see that the features of the proposed 

 commission be not too drastic. 



E. Eichling's snapdragon and sweet 

 peas grown outside are good. Spanish 

 iris grows here to perfection. 



James A. Newsham has the finest field 

 grown carnations that have ever been 

 grown here at that time. It should cer- 

 tainly give a new idea of the culture of 

 an important flower which so far has not 

 been much of a success under glass in 

 New Orleans. Mr. Newsham is constantly 

 increasing his stock of orchids by impor- 

 tation and is more than satisfied with 

 his venture. He cut 2,500 Easter lilies 

 for Easter and could have sold many 

 more. 



A. Alost reports a heavy cut of roses. 



R. Eichling says that the Easter trade 

 was much better than last year. The 

 same with P. A. Chopin. M. M. de La- 

 pouyade says that the demand for plants 

 was not so good, but the demand for 

 Easter lilies is on a big increase and was 

 heavier than previous years. Abele Bros, 

 had a large demand for cut flowers. H. 

 Doescher received more orders for ferns 

 than before. 



George Thomas has been adding a new 

 greenhouse to his place. He will give 

 more attention to growing begonias, 

 being quite an expert in the culture of 

 this plant. 



A. Alost, of Gentilly avenue, has in- 

 vited the members of the club to his 

 annual dinner for Sunday, May 2. 



M. M. L. 



Roland Park, Md.— Arthur Albrecht 

 says that Easter here compared favorably 

 with any Easter since he has been in 

 business, and surpassed Christmas, 

 though that was good. Some of the flo- 

 rists had sold out on Saturday night, and 

 none of them has any reason to complain. 

 The cool weather here aided in making 

 business lively.
