butclasses everything; heretofore ffrow^n in the dark pink section. Won first honors in tlie 100 class for best 

 dark pink at the A. C. S. meeting, Pittsburg, January, Hi 10, also at the Chicago Flower Show, November, 1909. 



It is a pure, bright, dark pink of even shade, size 3J^ inches, an early and continuous bloomer, brings fully 26 per 

 cent more flowers to the plant than Laweon at its best; flowers well shaped on long, wiry stems; calyx does not split. It 

 is a good shipper, and the cuttings root easy.

NEW OKLEANS. 



The Market. 



The New Year's trade was highly 

 satisfactory to all the flower store own- 

 ers, and although the business rush of 

 the holidays is over, no lack in trade is 

 noticeable. This is largely due to the 

 continued society affairs, which are this ^ 

 season of a more lavish order in the 

 demand for plant and flower decora- 

 tions than in former years. The first 

 of the many carnival balls took place 

 January 6 and will be followed by 

 many more, each one demanding cost- 

 lier bouquets than the previous ones. 

 All this will keep the flower stores busy 

 until Carnival day, February 28. 



Various Notes. 



This city experienced, January 3 and 

 4, the most severe cold wave since 1899. 

 The thermometer registered 23 de- 

 grees and 25 degrees on the respective 

 days. The weather bureau issued time- 

 ly warnings and those were surely two 

 trying days for the local florists in sav- 

 ing their indoor and outdoor stock from 

 freezing. From information received, 

 no damage ° was done to greenhouse 

 stock, but many unprotected outdoor 

 plants, being somewhat tender on ac- 

 count of the last warm spell, suffered 

 seriously, especially in private gardens. 

 None of the outdoor palms, including 

 Latania Borbonica and Phoenix Roe- 

 belenii (the latter receiving its first try- 

 out under such weather conditions), 

 were killed; only the shriveled edges or 

 the brown color of the leaves of some 

 varieties show now the effects of the 

 cold. Although we had heavy rains pre- 

 vious to the freeze, no snow fell in the 

 city or immediate neighborhood, which 

 was surely a lucky circumstance, and 

 s^ed thousands of beautiful palms. 



A few days after the cold weather 

 the writer saw a batch of Cocos plu- 

 mosa planted outdoors without any pro- 

 tection. The hardy leaves looked frost- 

 bitten, but the center ones were in per- 

 fect condition, and being planted out 

 since last spring, the stock will doubt- 

 less recover and make fine plants for 

 the coming fall. The loss to the trijck 

 farmer is not considered heavy, because 

 all tender vegetable plants for later 

 crops are still in the protected cold- 

 frames. The landscape and market gar- 

 deners are rejoicing, because they will 

 find now eager customers for the large 

 stock of all kinds of bedding plants, 

 and especially Boston and Piersoni 

 ferns, grown by them. B. E.
