The Florists^ Review 



June 14, 1917. 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



Business has been exceedingly good, 

 thanks to two or three large commence- 

 ments last week and the June weddings. 

 The Ward-Belmont, one of the largest 

 schools for girls in the world, had 

 elaborate 10-day commencement exer- 

 cises this year. All of the florists got a 

 share in the lavish display of flowers 

 used at th^ various functions. 



Roses continue to arrive freely and 

 their quality remains up to the best. 

 Sweet peas are decidedly on the wane 

 and those available are lacking in qual- 

 ity. The home supply of carnations is 

 rapidly decreasing, as most of the stock 

 is now grown out of the benches and 

 the new plants set for next season's 

 crop. Snapdragons are quite plentiful 

 at present and the demand for them 

 seems to be better than ever before. 

 A few months ago it looked as though 

 snapdragons were on the wane, but 

 from present appearances they bid fair 

 to become as popular as carnations and 

 sweet peas. 



Lilies are plentiful and many are 

 finding ways of using this flower that 

 they never dreamed of a few years ago. 

 They are using them in all sorts of 

 decorative work, but this seems to be 

 thoroughly satisfactory to customers. 



Bedding stock now is little in evi- 

 dence at the stores, though on the mar- 

 ket square there are loads of plants on 

 display eacli day. There is a small 

 surplus of bedding plants this year; 

 possibly a few geraniums, salvias' and 

 petunias. 



Various Notes. 



Haury & Sons are showing some large 

 plants of hydrangeas in full bloom. 

 Their wagons are doing a good plant 

 business in the city. Louis Haury is 

 repairing the damage done to his houses 

 by the liail. Much of his stock was in- 

 jured, but not so seriously as to make 

 it unmarketable. In fact,'if one .Judged 

 by the plants Mr. Haury has on the 

 market each day, one would never know 

 that a storm liad paid him a visit. 



Tlie Joy Floral Co. was delayed in 

 opening its Chattanooga store until Fri- 

 day, June 8. Thomas Joy went over 

 to assist in the opening and stopped at 

 Murfreesboro on liis return to super- 

 intend the decorations for an elaborate 

 wedding. 



Mclntyre Bros, are pusliing repairs 

 as rapidly as possible at the range. 

 While the hail broke a large amount of 

 glass, little of the stock was injured. 

 The regular business has not been in- 

 terfered with in any way as a result of 

 the storm. " F. B.

Canal Dover, O.— C. Betscher says 

 business lias been and is good. Peonies 

 gave a good crop, but there was too 

 much rain. Labor sliortage has been 

 a trying matter, rainy weather adding 

 to tlie burden.
