The Flcxrists^ Review 



FiBBCABT 28. 1922 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



The last two weeks have been the 

 coldest of the year thus far. Daffodils 

 are beginning to come in from the out- 

 side in sufficient numbers to be offered 

 in a small way on the streets. 



We were so unfortunate as to have a 

 rainy St. Valentine's day, which, un- 

 doubtedly, hurt business. For the first 

 time in the history of Nashville, the flo- 

 rists had a cooperative advertisement in 

 the daily press previous to St. Valen- 

 tine's day and, in spite of the unfavor- 

 able weather, business was good. Every 

 one feels sure that, had the weather 

 been at all favorable, we would have 

 done a record-breaking business. 



As hinted in our last report, the situa- 

 tion in carnations has changed radically 

 here recently. These are coming plenti- 

 fully now and thov are of excellent qual- 

 ity. 



Roses continue to arrive freely, but 

 the quality is not so good as it was a 

 month ago. Sweet peas are beginning 

 to come rather freely and of excellent 

 quality. Hyacinths and tulips were fine 

 sellers for St. Valentine's day. 



Various Notes. 



Last week the first gladioli were 

 planted in the field, but heavy rains 

 stopped operations. Those who were 

 fortunate enough to get their bulbs 

 planted before the rains will doubtless 

 reap a reward. 



Harold Joy has been confined to his 

 bed ever since reaching home from the 

 carnation meet in the east. He was so 

 unfortunate as to contract a case of in- 

 fluenza. P. B.
