TheWeddy Florists' Review. 



MARCH 28, 1912. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market. 



The beautiful weather we have en- 

 joyed in the last two weeks has helped 

 the flowering plants intended for the 

 Easter trade considerably and, with a 

 continuation of it, the market will be 

 well supplied with orchids, hydrangeas, 

 spiraeas. Baby Eambler roses, geran- 

 iums, etc. Easter lilies will not be as 

 plentiful with some growers as last 

 year, owing to the extremely cold 

 winter we had and the early season. 



All kinds of bedding plants, roses and 

 nephrolepis find ready buyers and the 

 large stock on hand will mostly be dis- 

 posed of by the end of the spring sea- 

 son. 



Club Meeting. 



The New Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety held an interesting meeting March 

 21, at Kolb's German Tavern. Claude 

 Ory presided, with C. E. Panter, the 

 secretary, at his desk and a large gath- 

 ering of enthusiastic members present. 

 The committee appointed for the pro- 

 posed horticultural and agricultural 

 state fair next fall reported progress 

 and feels much encouraged through the 

 interest shown by the various organiza- 

 tions. 



The Metairie Ridge Nursery Co. had 

 a splendid exhibit of cut roses, such as 

 Kaiserin, Maryland, Ehea Eeid and 

 Bridesmaid. The blooms, stems and 

 foliage of these varieties were perfect 

 and created a sensation among those 

 present. Harry Dressel, the firm's high- 

 ly successful rose grower, made a few 

 short but interesting remarks, and 

 was the recipient of hearty congratula- 

 tions. Harry Papworth, president of the 

 company, spoke of the rose exhibit 

 made at the recent Chicago show and 

 the creditable showing his flowers made 

 against the northern growers 



Eichard Eichling, foreman for U. J. 

 Virgin, showed Hydrangea hortensis 

 Otaksa, with fourteen flowers and buds 

 in a 9-inch pot; Adiantum O'Brieni and 

 magnificum, and a collection of pteris. 

 The strong and clean cultivation of all 

 his plants was highly commented upon. 



F. J. Eeyes and F. Ackermann were 

 elected as members. 



Various Notes. 



J. A. Newsham is at present busy 

 with the erection of his new range of 

 houses on the new site in the rear of 

 the old grounds. These will be six in 

 number, each 20x150, for the cultiva- 

 tion of orchids, palms, ferns, etc. The 

 material used is Louisiana cypress and 

 all work is done by local factories and 

 builders. The greatly enlarged residence 

 stands now at the entrance to the new 

 addition, and with the old greenhouses 

 removed, the entire place, comprising 

 an area of twelve acres, will be one of 

 the finest in this section of the country. 



Mrs. Carrie Eehm has her St. Charles 

 avenue place in fine shape and well 

 stocked. She spoke enthusiastically of 

 the progress the business has been mak- 

 ing lately. 



Hermann Doescher is moving his en- 

 tire place of business a short distance 

 from his present location. His immense 

 stock of general greenhouse and out- 

 door plants is selling freely. 



Theodore Betz has an exceptionally 

 fine supply of camphor trees in pots 

 and tubs. He has started to cut his 

 first outdoor grown Marechal Nial 

 roses, which are of good quality.
