them out in nursery rows. Leave only 

 the tops of the cuttings above the 

 ground; soak with water and tamp the 

 soil about them hard. If you can give 

 them some water for a few weeks, the 

 percentage of rooted cuttings will be 

 greater. Keep the soil between the 

 rows well cultivated. Spring cuttings 

 planted in the same way will root fairly 

 well, provided they are watered or that 

 we have a damp spring and summer.

The Market. 



Three weeks have passed since the 

 last report, and they have been busy 

 as well as eventful ones. There is an 

 abundance of good stock of all kinds 

 and the demand has been heavy. Koses 

 are as good as any I have ever seen 

 at this time of year — a decided relief 

 after an all-summer run of poor roses. 

 Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty are doing 

 better than they did last season, and 

 that is going some. At a recent fu- 

 neral I saw a large design composed of 

 Hoosier Beauty and Ophelia roses that 

 was the richest piece of work I ever 

 saw made of roses. Red Radiance con- 

 tinues to make a name for itself and 

 some predict that, instead of being 

 grown in small quantities for trial, it 

 will have liberal bench space next year. 

 Baby Doll and George Elger are having 

 a good run this season and bid fair to 

 have a permanent place in the hearts 

 of Nashville's flower-loving public. 

 Baby Doll is especially liked. 



Carnations are good at present and 

 are plentiful, but we have noticed few 

 new things. However, they are selling 

 well, as usual. This is a carnation city, 

 anyway. Bulbs have been selling ex- 

 ceptionally well this fall, especially 

 Darwin tulips. Tulips have never been 

 really popular here, as the season is so 

 ■hort for the old varieties. Darwins, 

 however, gradually have won a place
