The Market. 



The week saw a decided change in 

 conditions. Summer heat has arrived 

 at last and business has decreased mate- 

 rially; yet it has been good, considering 

 that the dull summer months are here. 

 Bain has been on the program at some 

 time of the day for several days, but 

 now appearances are for a week of sun- 

 . shine. 



There are plenty of flowers for all 

 purposes at present. Gladioli are the 

 most abundant of all. I have seen a 

 white which I think the best that ever 

 came to the market. It is a new va- 

 riety. Baron Hulot is having a good 

 run. The growers are shipping quanti- 

 ties of mums at present. More and 

 more each season we produce plants 

 for the trade. There is no good reason 

 why !Nashville should not become one 

 of the good trade centers for supplying 

 the smaller growers of the south. We 

 are well located, with good shipping fa- 

 cilities to the south and southwest. 



Various Notes. 



The Joy Floral Co. is making exten- 

 sive improvements at its range this 

 summer. A pump with a working ca- 

 pacity of 3,000 gallons per minute has 

 been installed. The new well has been 

 tested by pumping with this pump for 

 ten hours»without lowering the water 

 an inch. The company has laid 6-inch 

 water mains, putting in over 1,300 feet 

 of 5 and 6-inch pipe. There will soon 

 be water over the entire place. 



Mclntyre Bros, were rushing the re- 

 filling of their benches with new soil 

 and planting next year's crops when I 

 called last week. They have the best 

 block of blue spruce I have ever seen 

 growing this far south. 



Geny Bros, have had a good run of 

 wedding decorations of late. Oscar 

 Geny is improving slowly. 



This season has been a phenomenal 

 one for the amateur sweet pea grower. 

 I see boys hawking them on the streets 

 everywhere I go, a new experience for 

 this city. F. B.
