The Florists' Review ^^v is. loio 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



The last two weeks were record-break- 

 ers in the sales of bedding plants. 

 Salvias, good geraniums, petunias, and, 

 in fact, most of the bedders, are well 

 cleaned up, with the demand as heavy 

 as at the beginning. Stock was, on the 

 whole, better this season than I ^have 

 ever seen it before. This may be thq 

 reason why it moved so rapidly, but 

 the weather has had its effect. It 

 seemed as if summer never would come, 

 but now that it has it probably will 

 stay. The only complaints are of the 

 lack of rain. 



This has been an iris and peony year. 

 I have never seen finer peonies at an 

 exhibition than in private gardens dur- 

 ing the last week. 



The cut-flower trade keeps up well, 

 there being little that does not move at 

 a good figure. The spring entertaining 

 season is on and has helped business. 

 Then school commencements have cut 

 some figure. The best sellers in plants 

 this season have been salvias, Poitevine 

 geraniums, petunias, cannas and then 

 red geraniums and the general range of 

 plants. Snapdragons are growing in 

 popularity, while lantanas are on the 

 wane. The call for cannas is heavier 

 than it has ever been and many are 

 asking for varieties by name. Vincas 

 are among the plants that are losing 

 their popularity. 



Various Notes. 



The irises at the Hillcrest School Farm 

 are attracting many visitors. There 

 are more than 100 varieties in bloom at 

 present. They still have a few late 

 daffodils. 



Tom Joy has been away with the 

 Boosters' Club for a week, making a 

 tour of the surrounding cities. His 

 brother, Harold, took his place as mana- 

 ger of the store while he was away. 

 They report a heavy plant business, 

 most of their good stock having sold. 



I visited the Geny Bros, houses last 

 week and was surprised by their empti- 

 ness. Two weeks ago the houses were 

 full of plants of all kinds. Oscar is 

 much improved in health. 



Floyd Bralliar has an acre or so 

 planted to up-to-date cannas. He plans 

 selling the plants to the trade. 



I noticed great improvement in some 

 of the city parks this spring. Mr. Mc- 

 Bride is trying to make the parks more 

 educational as well as more beautiful. 



Melntyre Bros, report a clean-up of 

 salvias in all but small-sized plants. 

 They tried this season to propagate 

 enough for all comers, but the trade 

 was too heavy. F. B.
