The FIcdsts' Review 



Apbil 13, 1916. 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



Last week saw another change in the 

 market situation here. Stock is none 

 too plentiful, the cloudy weather having 

 held it back somewhat, and the recent 

 freezes undoubtedly have cut off some 

 of the outdoor stock. Lilacs were well 

 advanced and the earliest varieties in 

 the most protected places were even 

 showing bloom, but now it is feared 

 that both these and the peonies were 

 seriously injured. The expected activity 

 in the seed trade has been put off again. 

 All agree that business is far below 

 normal this spring. . The first pot hy- 

 drangeas made Jheir appearance during 

 the last few days. They are of excellent 

 quality and are moving well. Other pot 

 plants. are scarce, excepting hyacinths. 

 Roses and carnations are less plentiful 

 than they were ten days ago, but sweet 

 peas continu«t as abundant as ever. 



Cannas and other bulbs are selling 

 unusually well, considering the weather, 

 and the demand ior bedding plants was 

 ope3aing up when tfie frost arrived. The 

 calls for dahlias seem to be more numer- 

 ous this spring than usual. 



Various Notes. 



The Joy Floral Co. is offering attrac- 

 tive made-up boxes of hydrangeas at 

 present. We do not remember having 

 seen this plant used in this way before. 



Oscar Geny is away for a few days at 

 Redboiling Springs for his health. 



The trade here has been interested in 

 the reports of the high-quality Hadley, 

 roses at the recent shows, as this rose 

 has proved a failure here. 



The Mt. Olivet Greenhouses are offer- 

 ing some of the best pot plants that I 

 have seen this season. 



It is reported that Floyd Bralliar is 

 to sever his connection with the HUl- 

 crest School Farm, June 1. F. B. 



Oklahoma City, Okla. — A baker's 

 dozen of Beauties were delivered to the 

 mayor March 26, accompanied by a 

 card on which was inscribed the follow- 

 ing: "Greetings to your honor, from 

 the F. T. D., Fourth National Flower 

 Show, Philadelphia." Less than an 

 hour after the message was sent at 

 Philadelphia, the Furrow Floral Co. 

 presented the gift to the mayor. Two 

 hundred mayors were similarly honored.
