The Florists' Review 



Jolt 27. 1916. 





NASHVILLE, TENN. 



Tlie Market. 



From a business standpoint there was 

 little of importance during the last 

 two weeks. The rainfall has been ex- 

 ceptionally heavy and there has been 

 much damage done in the country, both 

 from water and wind. The trade, how- 

 ever, has suffered little, if any, direct- 

 ly. The cloudy weather had its influ- 

 ence in shortening the supply of cut 

 flowers, but as there was no great de- 

 mand for them it made little differ^ce. 

 Gladioli are the only flowers that are 

 plentiful. They are better this season, 

 on the average, than I have ever seen 

 them in this city. Asters are beginning 

 to come in, though in small sizes and 

 with short stems. 



All • the carnations and chrysanthe- 

 mums now are in the houses, but there 

 still is a surplus of good carnations in 

 the field of as fine a quality as may be 

 found anywhere. Our growers are find- 

 ing that they always can sell a few 

 thousand plants to those who do not 

 grow their own. 



There is a fair quantity of out-of-town 

 business, and this helps to keep up the 

 spirits while the pay crops are grow- 

 ing. The outlook for next year was 

 never better than at present. There 

 are about 1,500 teachers in attendance 

 at the Peabody summer school, and 

 while they are by no means heavy flow- 

 er buyers they are better than the same 

 number of college students. Betailers 

 agree that there is more business this 

 summer than usual. 



Various Notes. 



- Miss Carrie Chance, stenographer and 

 cashier for the Joy Floral Co., spent a 

 few weeks in the country. On her re- 

 turn Miss Lilian Joy left for a visit 

 to New York and other eastern points. 



Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Joy and some 

 friends recently motored to Cincinnati. 

 They attended the convention of the 

 Botary clubs. 



F. Bralliar reports that his canna 

 tests have produced some surprises this' 

 season, but none of them was more 

 agreeable than the wonderful showing 

 of La Fayette. His tests embrace about 

 150 sorts. 



Mr. Haney, of Qeny Bros., reported 

 heavy out-of-town funeral orders that 

 have kept the stock cleaned up closely. 

 F. B. 



Shepard, O. — A greenhouse is being 

 erected here by B. E. Myers, a new- 

 comer to the business, who is starting 

 out in a small way with carnations.
