held during the week. Nearly all the 

 N^arieties now being shown in the local 



JiTket were represented and were well 

 8et^"&ff^ by palms, fern« and autumn 

 leaves. \ 



Gude Bros. Co. is this week holding a 

 show rWhich bids fair to eclipse all 

 previous efforts of this concern. The 

 store is attractively decorated, with 

 latticed screens with running vines and 

 pedestals on which are large ferns. The 

 cpuservatory at the rear of the store is 

 a mass of color. 



The Washington Florists' Co. is cut- 

 ting some exceptionally fine stock, in- 

 cluding American Beauty, Mrs. Ward, 

 Lady Hillingdon, Mrs. Taft and Rich- 

 mond roses.

The Market. 



With the opening of the French 

 opera house the social events of the 

 season were ushered in. The wealth of 

 elegant bouquets and corsages added in 

 a great measure to the beauty of the 

 scene, and it is a pity that the attrac- 

 tive custom of the opening night is 

 not to some extent followed throughout 

 the season. Weddings and other social 

 functions, as well as the funeral of one 

 of our prominent citizens during the 

 week, helped to dispose of a large quan- 

 tity of left-over stock of chrysanthe- 

 mums, as well as the regular incoming 

 shipments of mixed cut flowers. The 

 plant sales during the last few weeks 

 increased considerably, owing to the re- 

 stocking of many homes with fresh 

 plants. 

 ^ ^n ^ Club Meeting. 



Eichard Vincent, Jr., of White 

 Marsh, Md., president of the S. A. F., 

 delivered a highly interesting lecture 

 on the subject, "Plants and Flowers of 

 America and Europe," in the Progres- 

 sive Union hall, November 9. Hun- 

 dreds of stereopticon views in natural 

 colors added to the attractiveness of 

 the lecture. A fair-sized audience, com- 

 posed mainly of members of the New 

 Orleans Horticultural Society and their 

 families, was present.

At 8:30 President H. Doescher called 

 the assembly to order and introduced 

 C. K. Panter, the secretary of the so- 

 ciety, as chairman. He, in turn, intro- 

 duced, in his inimitable manner, the 

 speaker of the evening, Mr. Vincent. 

 After some introductory remarks, the 

 lecturer dwelt on the beauty and great- 

 ness of the recent London international 

 exposition, giving special credit to the 

 displays of carnations and orchids.
