The Florists' Review 



AuoDST 17, 1916. 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



Last week was like the one before 

 it. Business was as dead as it ever is 

 during the summer, and there has been 

 80 much rain and cloudy weather that 

 there is little stock of any kind. As- 

 ters have not * ' made good ' ' as yet, and 

 it is time they should show up, if they 

 are to amount to anything this season. 

 Late asters are not grown here. 



I cannot remember having seen so 

 general a scarcity of good cut flowers 

 as this summer. Even gladioli are not 

 up to the mark. On the other hand, I 

 have seldom seen stock in the houses 

 looking better for the fall and winter 

 crop. Mums and carnations seem to 

 be doing especially well. Carnations 

 are already producing a few good 

 flowers. 



The parks and private gardens are 

 looking especially well. Bedding plants 

 are blooming at present as well as they 

 usually do in the fall. This augurs well 

 for a heavy plant business next season. 



The Newer Caladituns. 



I saw a delightful bed of fancy-leaved 

 caladiums last week. They were grow- 

 ing on the north side of a house and 

 were making a wonderfully good show- 

 ing. The trade might find that this is 

 a good plant to recommend for shaded 

 places in the south. It might not be 

 out of place to mention the fine effects 

 that are being produced in this city this 

 summer with some of the newer va- 

 rieties of outdoor caladiums. Of 

 these, the Trinidad Dasheens grow the 

 tallest and are especially effective for 

 centers of beds. The variety known as 

 Wonderful Dasheen is similar to the 

 common caladium, but produces more 

 leaves and does it in less time. 



Xanthosoma Bataviensis I favor more 

 than any of the other members 

 of the family. It has plum-colored 

 stems, with a decided bluish tint on the 

 leaves. I have never seen a richer or 

 more tropical-looking bed than one com- 

 posed of these when well grown. The 

 tubers are easier to keep over the win- 

 ter than the old esculentum and a tuber 

 not more than an inch and a half in 

 diameter makes a show plant, whereas 

 the older variety requires a large tuber 

 to make much of a showing. F. B.

a gloss, oil paint ; 'produces max- 

 imum light; it keeps the sash- 

 bars free from spore and fungous 

 growths, thus preventing rot 

 and deterioration. It makes the 

 greenhouse interior ideal for 

 greater production of flowers 

 during the winter months. It 

 has been proven BEST. It costs 

 no more than other paints lack- 

 ing in the essential qualities. 

 The covering capacity is greater, 

 too. Send for literature and
