The Florists^ Review 



May 10, 1917. 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



Despite tlie unseasonably dark and 

 cold weatlier, there seems to be no re- 

 cession in tlie ])roduction of cut flowers. 

 Koses of all varieties are in abundance, 

 peonies are arriving in ever-increasing 

 quantities and even sweet peas are more 

 than plentiful. For the first time in 

 several years, market conditions seem 

 to favor the shipping of peonies to the 

 Chicago market, and they are going 

 every day. They are not so large this 

 season as tliey should be, but, then, they 

 are good in color and form and should 

 sell well, 



Tlie bedding plant season is here, but 

 ))ecause of the continued low tempera- 

 tures business is not so brisk as it was 

 ten days ago. Yet no one can complain 

 of the demand, and it is clear that peo- 

 ])le are not planting fewer flowers, how- 

 ever much more garden truck they may 

 be putting in the ground. Stocks are 

 beginning to run low and the jirices ob- 

 tained are generally l)ett(T than usual. 



The first outdoor roses are appearing, 

 slowly to be sure, but in sufficient num- 

 bers to prove that with one or two nor- 

 mal days there Avill l)e thousands of 

 them. The demand for cut flowers is 

 good. Thus far all agree tliat the war 

 has liad no effect, business being better 

 than last year's. Just now is one of 

 the normally slack times, but in another 

 fortnight school commencements will be 

 in full blast. 



Various Notes. 



The Joy Floral Co. has i)rocured a lo- 

 cation on one of the best streets of 

 (.'hattanooga and Avill open a flower 

 store there during the last of this week. 



John Bralliar, the youngest son of 

 Floyd Bralliar, underwent a minor oper- 

 ation this week. lie now is about again. 



Geny Bros, undoubtedly are offering 

 the best bedding plants that they have 

 ever handled. They say that, all tilings 

 considertMl, sales have never before been 

 so satisfactory. 



Mclntyre Bros, liad attractive win- 

 dows last Aveek. They are featuring 

 bedding plants of the better sort. 



J. F. ('orbitt is doing tlie largest busi- 

 ness in the history of his establishment. 

 All hands were working until late at 

 niglit i)ackiiig ])lants for shipniciit and 

 tliere were tliousands more ready to go. 



Tlie jiarks are in fine form this season 

 and it looks as though Mr. McBride is 

 ]>laniiiiig to outdo liiniself. 



Hainy tic Sons report business normal. 

 They have found that tliey do not. need 

 their stall in t!ie city market tliis season 

 in order to dispose of their stock of 

 plants. F. B.
