MOBILE, AIiA. 



The Market. 



During the summer there was a great 

 scarcity of greenhouse flowers. The 

 roses were few and of poor quality, hard- 

 ly keeping long enough to be used. Con- 

 sequently, many florists depended almost 

 entirely upon outdoor flowers. It is re- 

 markable that they are able to turn out 

 such good work with the material to be 

 hail. Balsams of white, pink and lav- 

 ender shades wired to toothpicks are 

 used for foundation work by almost all 

 the florists here. 



In the early summer maximum and 

 Shasta daisies are the most popular of 

 all flowers, but after their season is over 

 the problems of supplies begin. Gladioli 

 are grown in a limited way, but not so 

 much as they should be. They seem, 

 however, to be coming more and more 

 into favor. They could be had by j.lant- 

 ing at intervals of a few days from 

 May to November. 



^Mobile has been a Rij* Van Winkle 

 sort of town for a long time, but is awak- 

 ing from its long sleep. The establish- 

 ing here of several shipyards and a 

 branch of the United States Steel Cor- 

 jioration in a nearby suburb has brought 

 thousands of people here and has pro- 

 duced such prosperity that there are 

 fine openings for floral and landscape 

 work. 



Various Notes. 



C. Ravier & Sons have an immense 

 number of Peachblow hibiscus. The 

 bushes are five to seven feet high and 

 loaded with bloom all summer. These 

 plants liave to be taken up and car-

ried over winter in a cool house in a 

 dormant condition and put out again 

 after cold weather is over. Mr. Ravier 

 says he would be willing to pay $1,000 

 for a wliite hibiscus as good as Peach- 

 bhtw. Torenias are another summer 

 favorite of Mr. Ravier. He also uses a 

 good many crinums and hedychiums or 

 butterfly, lilies. This last is a favoiite 

 because of its pure white, waxy flowers 

 and pleasing fragrance. 



The ^Mingt Floral Co. grows buddleias 

 and forget-me-nots quite extensively, but 

 the last-named are hard to grow satisfac- 

 torily in the south unless favorable soil 

 conditions can be found. 



The Cioodbrad Floral Co. recently ex- 

 hibited some fine Schwaben gladioli that 

 were grown at Columbus, Miss., where 

 they cost $10 per hundred plus express 

 charges.
