NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



The week has been dry and hot, with 

 the nights cool or almost cold. Where 

 there was not proper tillage early in 

 the season the crops are suffering from 

 the drought. There is a good demand 

 tor nearly all kinds of flowers and this 

 week bids fair to be a busy one, as 

 there will be at least three commence- 

 ments. Peonies are pretty well gone, as 

 a result of the dry weather. The qual- 

 ity proved better than had been ex- 

 pected, especially in the later varieties. 

 There was a surplus, though none was 

 shipped to the northern market this 

 season, so far as reported. They have 

 retailed at $1 per dozen most of the 

 time. Carnations are in heavy crop and 

 the quality seems much better than one 

 would look for at this season. They 

 have not sold well since Mothers' day, 

 but are cleaning up fairly well at 

 present. 



The summer roses are in bloom in the 

 open and the greenhouse stock is also 

 extra good. The first "Witchmoss roses 

 blootned last week. They are heavily 

 mossed and a cluster of the buds is cer- 

 tainly pretty just as the color is show- 

 ing. The color of the full-blown flower 

 is too light a pink. The bloom is nearly 

 single and almost white. While the 

 color is disappointing, Witchmoss is one 

 of the good climbing roses. Spanish 

 irises are at their best now in the open 

 and are selling well. Three or four 

 years ago these flowers were all but un- 

 known here, but at present they are 

 grown in quantities and are valuable. 

 Some Glory of Seven Oaks chrysanthe- 

 mums are in bloom. This variety is of 

 moderate size, of a golden yellow color, 

 perfectly hardy in the open ground and 

 almost an everbloomer here. 



Various Notes. 



The new extension windows on the 

 store of the Joy Floral Co. are com- 

 pleted and were decorated for the first 

 time last week. They give plenty of 

 display room and in an effective place, 

 as they project well out on the side- 

 walk. This is an improvement that this 

 firm has long needed. 



Mr. Johnston, the new florist in North 

 Nashville, has pretty well covered the 

 city this spring with his wagons and 

 cards and has been getting acquainted 

 with the public. He is getting in line 

 for good business in the future. F. B. 



Wapakoneta, O. — The McMurray 

 Greenhouses have a snug ^ace. Mrs. 

 McMurray says that for Mothers' day 

 everything in flowers went and gera- 

 niums in large sizes sold well. They 

 had a batch grown specially for the 

 occasion.

Mastlca is elastic and tenacious, admits of 

 expansion and contraction. Putty becomes 

 bard and brittle. Broken flass more easily 

 removed without breaking of other glass as 

 occurs with hard putty.

AFTEK twenty-flye years' experience In Oreen- 

 houae work, with Loid A Bnrnham Company, 

 In the KlazlDK and painting department, I am 

 convinced .;hat what 1b meet needed In this line Is a 

 good shading, and I am pleased to advise you that I 

 have the real thing, which I am sure you will find to 

 be Just whai you are looking for. 



This shading Is beneficial to the painted wood, as 

 It does not contain any gasoline or naphtha which 

 would destroy the paint. In addition, It la beneficial 

 to the glass also, for you will find that when the 

 shading is removed the glass retains Its former 

 brilliancy. 



As to its application, this is a very easy matter. It 

 can be either sprayed on or put on with a soft brush. 

 For real good work, however. I would recommend 

 the use of a soft brush. 



Another advantage of this shading is that when it 

 is no longer needed, it can be removed without any 

 difficulty, leaving the glass, as before stated, with Its 

 original brilliancy. 



I am making this up in gallon cans. In three 

 shades— light green, light blue and pure white. 

 When ordering, kindly mention the color desired. 



I trust that you will kindly favor me with a trial 

 order to prove its worth, after which I have no doubt 

 wtiatever but that yon will continue its use.
