The Florists^ Review 



August 10, 1916. 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



During the last three weeks Nash- 

 ville has had typical summer weather, 

 with an abundance of rain. In fact, 

 many of the outdoor crops would have 

 been better off with less rain. 



There is a general shortage of stock 

 at present, gladioli even being on the 

 short side. Eoses are poor and few. 

 Business has been spotted — some days 

 there was almost nothing and other 

 days there were heavy runs. Last week 

 a large funeral produced a good batch 

 of business. 



The "city beautiful" work this year 

 has helped business greatly and the 

 trade in any town will find that a 

 movement of this kind means greater 

 sales of seeds and plants. The demand 

 for cut flowers in this city undoubtedly 

 is heavier since this movement began. 



Various Notes. 



Floyd Bralliar has a sport from 

 Canna Queen Helen, a real novelty, if 

 it holds. -It will be remembered that 

 Queen Helen is a green-leaved, yellow- 

 blooming sport from King Humbert. 

 This sport has a part of every leaf 

 deep bronze, and the other part green. 

 The bloom head is partly yellow and 

 partly the old King Humbert. The 

 sport occurred in two separate plants. 



T. C. Joy and Harold Joy will at- 

 tend the S. A. F. convention at Hous- 

 ton next week. 



Haury & Sons have been having a 

 heavy cut of roses during the last two 

 or three weeks. They have been able 

 to help some of their brother florists 

 greatly. 



Both Oscar and Leo Geny are at 

 their summer homes at present. Mr. 

 Haney is looking after the business 

 during their absence. 



Miss Lillian Joy is visiting friends 

 at Flushing, N. Y. Miss Bessie Harri- 

 son, one of the girls of the Joy store, 

 joined her there last week-. 



The Mclntyre Floral Co. reports that 

 business is holding up better. this sum- 

 mer than last summer. The men are 

 cutting the best asters I have seen thus 

 far this season. 



Leslie Littel is importing a nice lot 

 of peonies this season. They are to 

 be planted at his place near the na- 

 tional cemetery. F. B. 



Oswego, N. Y.— C. S. Sheldon has 

 built up a nice local retail business in 

 bulbs of his own growing at Shady 

 Shore Gardens, as he calls his place. He 

 has made no attempt at wholesale trade, 

 except on a few of the thirty-three va- 

 rieties of narcissi that are grown.
