Henry Eusse, 1614 South Grand ave- 

 nue, stopped in front of 3869 Folsom 

 avenue the other day with a wagon 

 loaded with plants he offered for sale. 

 Four negroes took a hand in the bar- 

 gaining. One of them bought two or 

 three plants and tendered a gold piece. 

 Russe drew forth a capacious bag con- 

 taining $100 in bills and change, but 

 he could not break the five, so he put 

 the bag back into his coat pocket and 

 went into a store. The one negro got 

 his change and the other three decamped. 

 A little later Russe discovered that his 

 bag and the $100 had slipped from his 

 pocket. The police are after the negroes.

The Market. 



Business was good last week, with 

 many luncheons and parties. Orchids 

 and gardenias are quite popular, while 

 sweet peas and valley in corsages are 

 holding their own. Violets have been 

 scarce, both single and double. Smilax 

 seems a luxury in this section at pres- 

 ent, but Asparagus plumosus is getting 

 more plentiful. Speciosum lilies, both 

 long and short, are in demand. 



The spring bedding stock is in good 

 condition and the local florists are look- 

 ing forward to a busy season. 



Variotti Notes. 



Miss Frances Burger, saleslady at 

 Charles Oflferle's store, and Wm. Harley 

 were quietly married two weeks ago. 

 This news came as a surprise to their 

 friends. They will make their home in 

 Erie. 



George Gleichsner and John V. Gleichs- 

 ner, who have been on the sick list, are 

 convalescent. 



The carnation ball given by the flo- 

 rists' employees at Assembly hall, April 

 28, was a very successful affair. Fully 

 250 couples were in attendance. Each 

 guest was presented with a carnation at 

 the door. The hall was tastefully dec- 

 orated with palms and hydrangeas. The 

 committee in charge was: Robert Ber- 

 nie, Geo. Gleichsner, H. Niemeyer, Peter 

 Silk, Dean Hill, Geo. Gensheimer and 

 Frank Kern. The employees contemplate 

 holding a chrysanthemum ball in the fall.

Curfcnt Comment 



The cold weather prevailing north has 

 brought quite a change in the tempera- 

 ture we had a few days ago. Still the 

 annual festival given at the City park 

 took place Sunday, May 2, and thou- 

 sands of people admired the beds of 

 flowers newly planted. Any city should 

 be proud of such a park, always kept in 

 prime order.

Louisiana, around the orange growing 

 belt. No doubt, the boll weevil is com- 

 pelling some planters to change from 

 cotton to a more reliable crop. Kice, 

 broom com seeds and peanuts are also 

 attracting more attention. 



Abele Bros, say they have been busy 

 in their shipping department. The 

 greater part of their propagation is made 

 outside in coldframes, tender plants only 

 being grown in the houses. There is an 

 active demand for vegetable plants. 

 Their stock of roses is large, and they 

 are well satisfied with the use of out- 

 side raised benches. This new method 

 of culture is growing more in favor with 

 many florists and when an unlimited sup- 

 ply of water is at hand, it has certainly 

 many good points. New Orleans has now
