The Rorists^ Review 



November 3, 1921 



Nashville' has always been a good 

 bull) market, hut, as the price has jjoiio 

 up year by year, the deiiiand has grown 

 less and less. There will he more lioiue- 

 grown bulbs forced here this year than 

 over before in the liistory of the city. 

 It would be a safe estimate to say that 

 Nashville is not using more than one- 

 third of the Holland bull)s at present 

 that she was using live or six years ago. 



Kecent frosts have killed the tops of 

 cannas and similar i)lants and the grow- 

 ers and ])ark men are busy harvesting 

 their crop. 



Various Notes. 



This week the State Florists' Asso- 

 ^ation meets at Chattanooga and a 

 good representation of Nashville flo- 

 rists will attend. It is expected that 

 the membership of this association will 

 reach 4U0 before the meeting closes this 

 year. 



Oscar deny, who was ill at the time 

 of our last rejiort, is again able to spend 

 a part of each day at the greenhouses. 



Tliose who have been digging cannas 

 and other tuberous ])lants report that 

 tlio yield is unusually light this year, on 

 account of the excessively dry weather. 



Mr. Connell, superintendent of the 

 city parks, has been assembling a won- 

 derfully good collection of bearded iris 

 in Centennial park, and they have made 

 a marvelous growth. Such varieties as 

 Caterina and others that arc reputed to 

 be jioor growers and shy bloomers are 

 making most wonderful growtli, fully 

 as good as any variety. This should ho 

 of exceptional interest to southern flo- 

 rists. Our ])ersonal experience with 

 some two or three hundred iris confirms 

 the fact that even the varieties that do 

 not do well in the greater part of tlie 

 United States are a real success here. 

 We liave had as fine Iris Susiana as ever 

 were grown and they appeared to be 

 perfectly thrifty. Mr. Connell has two 

 or three hundred seedlings grown from 

 liybrids iiiaile from the jiark collection 

 that should do their first blooming next 

 vear. F. B.
