The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



May 9, 1912. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market. 



Business during the last two weeks 

 was fair, taking into consideration the 

 abominabl/k weather we had during that 

 time. Sjjanish iris has finished bloom- 

 ing. 4|ie recent funeral of one of our 

 most prominent citizens called for every 

 one of these useful flowers, which were 

 at that time at the height of their 

 flowering season. The first gladioli 

 are making their appearance and are 

 selling a*» retail at good prices. As a 

 rule, mostly light colored varieties, such 

 as Augusta, America, May, etc., are 

 cultivated here, and the amount of 

 bulbs planted increases from year to 

 year. Sweet peas are doing finely in 

 some localities of the city, while in 

 others the crop is poor, on account of 

 the soaked condition of the soil. All 

 kinds of seasonable flowering plants 

 help to adorn the show windows of the 

 stores and the displays of the market 

 gardeners. The stock is plentiful; it 

 moves slowly at reasonable figures. 



Outdoor work is greatly handicapped 

 and with many florists the early aster 

 crop will be delayed. Thousands of the 

 aster plants are still waiting to be 

 planted out, together with lots of other 

 plants for the fall and winter season. 

 This year's spring season is one of the 

 worst we have had for a long time, but 

 the florists are cheerful and hope for 

 better weather during the present 

 month. R. E.

I am just in from inspecting the peo- 

 nies. Th«fy show up at this time nearly 

 every growth with a fine bud. From 

 the present indications they will be 

 ready early; unless a cold spell retards 

 them we expect a majority of the mid- 

 seasoQ sorts to be in for Memorial day. 

 Edulis- Superba, Umbellata Kosea (La 

 France) and Marie Stuart will be in 

 about May 23. Tenuifolia is in bloom; 

 usually about May 12 to 15; season 

 much advanced. California privet was 

 all frozen dead. Many so-called hardy 

 plants were frozen out this winter.
