The Florists' Review 



Jdmi 11, 1014. 



If ASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



With the thermometers registering 

 in the nineties and no rain, the supply 

 of roses has been cut short. Though 

 there was plenty of good stock ten days 

 ago, there is a real shortage at present. 

 However, the demand is likely to be cor- 

 respondingly light in the next few 

 weeks, so it is not so serious a matter. 

 Carnations are still plentiful, but small 

 and poor. It is reported that they have 

 been retailed as low as three dozen for 

 $1. Most of the dealers are keeping 

 the price up pretty well, however. Snap- 

 dragons are more plentiful than they 

 have been for a long time. They are 

 of fairly good quality, but are not mov- 

 ing so well as they have at times. Lilies 

 are plentiful and good. Peas are scarce, 

 except with one or two growers. The 

 wheat harvest is beginning and, as 

 there is a bumper crop, it should loosen 

 up the circulation of money a little 

 soon, but it will have no direct effect 

 on the florists' trade. 



Various Notes. 



Last week Mr. Johnston, rose grower 

 for the Joy Floral Co., and Mr. Smith, 

 the carnation grower, were held up at 

 about li o'clock at night and robbed. 

 They put up a game fight and were 

 both more or less injured, and they 

 all but succeeded in capturing their 

 assailants. 



Geny Bros, planted a lot of sweet 

 peas where they could irrigate them 

 this season and they are getting a 

 cut that rivals those grown under ir- 

 rigation in the west. 



Mclntyre Bros, are propagating their 

 new geranium, Nashville, heavily at 

 present. About 5,000 or (5,000 were 

 sold this spring, the first time it was 

 on the market. The writer is much 

 pleased with the way this geranium is 

 behaving itself. 



In the country one day last week I 

 saw a wistaria vine that gave me a 

 new idea of the value of this plant in 

 landscape work. It had evidently been 

 planted years ago, when there was a 

 house near-by, but at present it is hav- 

 ing things its own way and has com- 

 pletely covered a large tree, as the Vir- 

 ginia creeper often does in the Mis- 

 sissippi river bottoms. It was in full 

 bloom and it is seldom that I have seen 

 so striking an object. F. B.
