to be as good a flower with apparently 

 much greater freedom. In fact, the 

 vases we saw of these two roses re- 

 sembled each other so closely that it 

 was hard to be sure that they were not 

 the same rose. 



Various Notes. 



Mclntyre Bros, are rebuilding their 

 glass display house. This house has al- 

 ways been a most valuable adjunct to 

 their store and, when the remodeling is 

 completed, it is to become an even 

 greater feature. They are having an 

 excellent cut of roses just now, with a 

 good sprinkling of carnations. They 

 say that they have not had a sign of 

 rot or other serious disease among their 

 carnations this year. Last year there 

 was heavy loss among the Nashville 

 growers, especially from stem-rot. 



Geny Bros, were cutting the early va- 

 rieties of mums freely last week and 

 getting good ones, too. They are also 

 getting a good cut of both Russell and 

 Premier roses and so have a good 

 chance to compare them. As the stock 

 is so young, the Premiers are mostly of 

 the shorter grades. Oscar Geny was ill 

 again last week. 



Tom Joy attended the F. T. D. con- 

 vention at Buffalo, going from there to 

 New York. He will be gone for another 

 week. At the Joy store they are offer- 

 ing many good dahlias and double- 

 flowering cosmos. This is the first 

 double-flowered cosmos that has ever

appeared on the Nashville market and 

 it is taking well. An electrically op- 

 erated airplane flying about in their 

 window attracted considerable atten- 

 tion last week. 



Haury & Sons are showing the best 

 chrysanthemums we have seen this 

 fall. Their pot mums, which have al- 

 ways been a feature of their fall busi- 

 ness, are ready this week, or at least 

 enough of them to meet the demand. 



Charles Tritchler's evergreen stock 

 that he purchased recently has arrived 

 and has been set. This gives him the, 

 most complete line of evergreens i^ the 

 state, if not the largest in quantity.

Monmouth, 111. — The Maple City 

 Floral Co. is building an additional 

 house, 32x125 feet, of Moninger con- 

 struction, to be devoted to roses.
