The Florists^ Review 



AUQUST 8, 1912. 



NEW OBLEANS. 



The Market. 



Although we are at the height of the 

 season, the stock on hand is moving 

 constantly, and for the last two weeks 

 the retailers have been kept busy with 

 funeral work. Only a few varieties of 

 cut flowers are grown here at this time 

 of the year, and every storekeeper, as 

 well as all those catering to the cut 

 flower trade, is compelled to get the 

 better class of stock from northern sup- 

 ply houses. The chrysanthemums, taken 

 as a whole, are in a promising condition 

 with most of the growers, being strong 

 and healthy, and with continued good 

 weather this year's crop will be far bet- 

 ter than the last one. Palms, ferns and 

 foliage plants never looked better at 

 this time of the year and the stock on 

 hand increases here from year to yea?. 

 The first shipments of Lilium Harrisii 

 have come in, soon to be followed by 

 Roman hyacinths and narcissi. 



Various Notes. 



Greater activity in building and re- 

 modeling has been seen here during this 

 summer than ever before and some of 

 the places will hardly be recognized, 

 with their new and modern greenhouses. 

 Here, as elsewhere, the demand for 

 proper, up-to-date nurseries and stores 

 is gradually being satisfied. 



On visiting the establishment of 

 Henry Cook, some extra fine mums, 

 roses, nephrolepis and Eex begonias 

 were noticed. He intends to open his 

 new store, 129 Carondelet street, which 

 will be strictly modern in every respect, 

 by October 1. The trial of a new squash, 

 green skinned, weighing from ten' to 

 fifteen pounds, proved to be a marked 

 success. 



Max Scheinuk, one of our young hus- 

 tlers, has one of the best lots of mums, 

 both in the greenhouses and outdoors, 

 that I have ever come across. Since 

 being located on his own new place, his 

 business has shown a steady increase. 



J. F. Dubois planted about 15,000 

 mums for the coming season. The stock 

 in the open ground is in a fine condition. 

 Two new houses for decorative and 

 flowering plants were lately erected. 



Charles Eble is an exceedingly busy 

 man. He is erecting on his own grounds 

 an entirely new plant, consisting of 

 three houses, each 15x100, for foliage 

 and flowering plants. The houses will 

 be set off with a lean-to, 25x60, to be 

 used as a show house, connected with 

 an office. This, together with a hand- 

 some, modern residence, which is also 

 being constructed, will be ready for use 

 by October 1. He intends to be at the 

 convention in Chicago with a fine lot of 

 southern palms. R- E. 



Utica, N. Y.— Charles Whitton, the 

 florist at City and Green streets, re- 

 cently obtained a permit to erect two 

 greenhouses at the corner of Addison 

 street and Gray avenue, at an esti- 

 mated cost of $1,500.
