The Florists^ Review 



83 



close at 6 p. m. of the opening day, the 

 room was filled with visitors until 

 10 p m and, as the flowers were still 

 in Vood' condition, it was decided to 

 leave them in place for another day. 

 Many visitors who did not get to view 

 them the first day took advantage of the 

 opportunity thus offered. As a result, 

 we predict that the planting of irises 

 in Nashville will be doubled this year. 

 One remarkable thing about the iris 

 show was the fact that some of the seed- 

 lings produced by local breeders were 

 fullv equal to many of the best and 

 most expensive varieties from abroad. 

 \ Mrs. MacFarlain, from the rural dis- 

 tricts, displayed a beautiful orientalis 

 that would be valuable to florists for 

 cut flower purposes. No one in the 

 show had ever seen or heard of this va- 

 riety, and the exhibitor stated that she 

 had had it for years and had no idea 

 what it is. 



Bedding plants have been moving 

 well, indeed, the last two weeks. Cold 

 weather held on so long that when 

 spring actually opened up, it came with 

 a rush and everyone wanted his plants 

 at the same time. Tliere promises to be 

 a shortage in almost everything this 

 year. Geraniums are coming back to 

 their own; in fact, geraniums are j)rob- 

 ably outselling any other bedding plant 

 this year. The newer varieties of 

 petunias are also in great demand. Bed- 

 ding ])laiits are bringing much more 

 profitai)le j)rices than formerly. Ge- 

 raniums in ;j-inch pots, if they are good, 

 bring as high as $5 or $6 per dozen, 

 while no one expects now to be able 

 to get anything for 50 cents or 75 cents 

 per dozen. Salvias sell for $1 to $1.50 

 per dozen and petunias bring from 75 

 cents to $5 per dozen, according to va- 

 riety and size of plant. 



Most of the florists in Nashville have 



had such heavy demands for cut flowers 

 recently that they are not producing as 

 many bedding plants as formerly. 



Kobert Currie, of the W. Atlee Burpee 

 Co., sjjent a day in Nashville visiting 

 the iris show and talking business. 



C. H. Tritscliler is turning over his 

 greenhouse business to his sons and in- 

 tends ill the future to devote his entire 

 time to evergreens ^nd nursery stock. 



Thomas C. Joy spent the week-end 

 visiting the Atlanta and Chattanooga 

 branches of the firm. 



Turnip and kale seed is ripe and be- 

 ing harvested this week. The weather 

 has been especially favorable and prom- 

 ises a good yield of both crops. 



The si)ring has been so wet that much 

 of the outdoor planting has not been 

 done. The last week, however, has been 

 hot and clear and most people have been 

 pushing their planting to the limit.
