NEW ORLEANS. 



Club Meeting. 



The New Orleans Horticultural Soci- 

 ety held its monthly meeting at the 

 Association of Commerce building on 

 »t. Charles street, May 15, with Presi- 

 dent Herman Doescher in the chair, 

 Secretary C. E. Panter at his desk and 

 about twenty members present. The 

 greater part of the session was taken 

 up with routine work. The annual out- 

 ing of the society will take place during 

 July and the following committee was 

 appointed to select a suitable place near 

 the city, to give each and every mem- 

 ber and invited guests a chance to take 

 part in it: C. E. Panter, Paul Abele, 

 Dan Newsham. They were instructed 

 to make a report at the next meeting, 

 in June. 



The orchid exhibit of J. A. Newsham 

 was considered the largest and finest 

 ever seen here. It consisted of twenty- 

 five varieties, among them several new 

 and rare specimens. The highest praise 

 was bestowed upon Mr. Newsham for 

 this rare treat, which helped in a great 

 measure to make the meeting an inter- 

 esting one. 



Various Notes. 



Judging from the reports of some of 

 our leading retailers. Mothers' day was 

 observed more generally this year than 

 at any time previously. The florists 

 advertised it and at most of the schools 

 the children were requested to wear 

 a white carnation or rose on that day, 



U. J. Virgin was awarded the con- 

 tract to beautify the large Elks' place 

 in front of the home of the B. P. O. E. 

 in this city. The work has been started 

 and in a comparatively short time a 

 miniature park will grace the business 

 district of the Crescent City. • 



Frank Brocker, head gardener at the 

 City park, had this recreation place 

 ready for its opening day of the sum- 

 mer season. May 18, in elegant shape. 

 Large groups of foliage and flowering 

 plants, also huge specimens of various 

 nephrolepis underneath the many cen- 

 tury oaks, add much to the natural 

 beauty of the park, which is considered 

 the most picturesque in the south. 



Frank J. Eeyes & Co. continue to 

 (io a good business, both in the cut 

 flower and plant line. The new show 

 house in the rear of the store has helped 

 to double the plant sales. 



Louis Buchner, formerly of Buchner 

 & Kraak, is located in New Iberia, La. 

 This city, as well as the surrounding 

 towns, is without many florists and he 

 should make good at the new place.
