The W cckly Florists^ Review^ 



Mabch 23, 1011. 



NEW OBLEANS. 



The Market. 



The lenten season has its effects upon 

 the disposal of the regular stock of cut 

 flowers the retailfers are carrying, as well 

 as on the great quantities of flowering 

 plants, such as azaleas, hydrangeas, rho- 

 dodendrons, spirseas, lilies, etc. The dif- 

 ferent nurseries growing these plants, as 

 well as the stores, are more or less over- 

 stocked and it is doubtful if by Easter 

 the same beautiful plants as one sees 

 now can be produced, on account of the 

 lateness of thfe season and the continued 

 ■warm weather, Although the killing 

 frost in Januiery did enough damage to 

 the private garidens all over the city and 

 in the country t<nvns to justify a big de- 

 mand for all kinfis of outdoor plants, the 

 sales up to now have no^ come up to the 

 expectations of the growers, who have an 

 enormous and first-class stock on hand. 

 Iris Hispanica is seen in bloom every- 

 where and Lilium giganteum and Har- 

 risii planted outdoors early are showing 

 acJvanced buds; some of them are begin- 

 ning to bloom &,nd by Easter thousands 

 of flowers will be ready to cut. Sweet 

 peas are not up to the usual standard; 

 the flowers are good, but the stems are 

 too short. -Snapdragons grown under 

 glass are producing good flower spikes, 

 but outdoor stooji^is entirely too late and 

 weak in the stem; the first plants of the 

 latter were killed in January. On ac- 

 count of th€f»extremely warm and dry 

 weather, the outdoor, roses, which are, as 

 a rule, by this time of the year perfect 

 in flower and Stem, are only fit for cheap 

 work. Today we have the first rain for 

 seven weeks and a great deal more is 

 needed to improve the outdoor vegetation 

 in general. 



Club Meeting. 



The New Orleans Horticultural Society 

 held its regular monthly meeting March 

 16, at Kolb's Geflnan Tavern. The at- 

 tendance was fair. P. A. Chopin pre- 

 sided in the absence of Eichard Eichling, 

 who was out of town. The meeting was 

 made interesting through the lecture of 

 J. A. Newsham, oot local orchid special- 

 ist, on "Orchids for Commercial Pur- 

 poses." Mr. Newsham referred to the 

 large increase in the demand for orchids 

 in general, especially of other varieties 

 than cattleyas, all over the country. Of 

 these he reported a large demand for On- 

 cidium splendidum, having shipped 1,000 

 plants to a large grower for the New 

 York market. The lecturer's son, Dan, is 

 expected to arrive this week from a two 

 months' trip through Central America. 

 Dan Newsham is only 16 years of age 

 and this is his second successful journey 

 through the wilds of Central America in 

 search of commercial orchids. 



At the next iieeting, in April, a lecture 

 will be delivered by P. A. Chopin. 



J. A. Newsham exhibited some beauti- 

 ful clusters of Dendrobium thyrsiflorum 

 and D. crepidatum. Metairie Ridge Nur- 

 sery Co. showed a nice collection of well 

 grown young roses. E. E.
