The Market. 



The exodus of the yearly summer 

 travelers will soon have reached its 

 height. Since the beginning of the 

 month the entire business has been at 

 a standstill and it would be more profit- 

 able for the storekeepers if they could 

 close their places for the next three 

 months. Growers and market garden- 

 erg are likewise complaining of the 

 dullness of the season, but are opti- 

 mistic in regard to the coming fall and 

 winter trade. 



The local flowering stock still consists 

 of roses and asters, with the addition 

 of the never failing single tuberoses. 

 The tuberoses have been in bloom here 

 since the beginning of the month and 

 are recognized by the growers and re- 

 tailers as the best white, long-stemmed 

 cut flowers for the summer. Some of 

 our retailers used to get their supply 

 from Texas, but wherever space al- 

 lowed it the florists have recently 

 planted their own bulbs, and at pres- 

 »"nt hardly any of tliem buy these flow- 

 ers out of town. Our weather condi- 

 tions are not of the best. The tempera- 

 ture is the most pleasant we have had 

 for many years, but hardly a week 

 passes by without several heavy thun- 

 der showers. The continued rains have 



not hurt the outdoor-grown stock so 

 far, but for the benefit of the chrys- 

 anthemums a cessation of the rains 

 would now be highly welcomed by the 

 growers. 



Club Meeting. 



The New Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its annual meeting and elec- 

 tion of officers July 11, at 717 Common 

 street. Claude Ory presided, C. E. 

 Panter was at his desk and the attend- 

 ance was the largest and most enthu- 

 siastic of the entire fiscal year. 



Tlie main feature of the session was 

 tiie election of officers, resulting as 

 follows: President, Hermann C Doos- 

 cher; vice-president, Max Scheinuk; 

 secretary, C. R. Panter, for the ninth 

 term; treasurer, John Eblen, for the 

 twenty-seventh term. All of these were 

 elected unanimously. 



The treiasurer's report showed a bal- 

 ance of $1,000 in cash and bonds. 



Secretary Panter made the final re- 

 port in regard to the society's trip to- 

 Grand Isle, stating that everything was 

 in readiness. The members and their 

 guests will board the steamboat Hazel, 

 especially chartered for the occasion, at 

 Harvey's canal at 8 o'clock on the 

 morning of July 20, for Grand Isle, and 

 the return trip will be made from that 

 place on the morning of July 22. Judg- 

 ing from the large number that will 



attend, the florists expect to have the 

 jolliest time ever. A motion was made 

 and carried that any member who is 

 not able to attend the outing has the 

 privilege of sending one of his relatives 

 or employees in his place. 



After the meeting was adjourned, the 

 newly elected president and vice-presi- 

 dent tendered to all those present an 

 enjoyable cold supper. Secretary Pan- 

 ter acted as toastmaster and called on 

 the following: President H. C. Does- 

 cher. Vice-president 'SI. Scheinuk, Ed. 

 Baker, J. Eblen and R. Eichling. The 

 last toast of this most plea:ant evening 

 was made by the toastmaster himself. 



Abele Bros, exhibited a collection of 

 extra fine asters. 



Theodore Betz showed outdoor-grown 

 pink and white Cochet roses, which were 

 pronounced as good as any ever seen at 

 this time of the year. 



Richard Eichling, .foreman at IT. J. 

 Virgin 's nursery, gave to everyone pres- 

 ent a boutonniere of Japanese asters, 

 through the courtesy of his employer. 



Frank J. Rej'es and Peter Ackermann 

 were elected members of the society. 



R. E. 



Neenah, Wis. — A little son arrived 

 July 6 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. 

 William Collins. Mrs. Collins is a 

 daughter of Louis Otto, the florist.
