The Florists' Review 



JUI'T 2, 1914. 



NASHVILLE. 



Tli6 Market. 



Everyoue is tired and ready to be 

 contented with the lack of business this 

 hot weather. There has been a good 

 run of funeral business, and several 

 good weddings. It has been a hard 

 week on the growing stock, however, 

 as the temperature reached the highest 

 mark ever recorded here in June. Boses 

 are not at aU plentiful and the quality 

 is not good. There are a few carna- 

 tions, but they would better have been 

 thrown on the dump some time ago, 

 were it not that there must be some- 

 thing to work up into designs. Peas are 

 gone, or nearly so, and asters have not 

 arrived. The heat and drought have 

 caused the first gladioli to be inferior, 

 if they did not fail to bloom. We never 

 remember having seen the supply of 

 good cut flowers so low in this city. 



Various Notes. 



Thomas Joy, Jr., is out of the city 

 for a few weeks' vacation. He is 

 camped out on Caney Fork, fishing and 

 hunting. His brother, who has been 

 with Thomas Koland, of Nahant, 

 Mass., getting new ideas on plant cul- 

 ture, is looking after the store in his 

 absence. F. B, 



MOTHS IN HANQINQ BASKETS. 



I have a patron who has four hang- 

 ing baskets on a porch that is lighted 

 by electric lights. When she waters 

 the baskets in the morning the moths fly 

 out by the hundreds and they seem to 

 be damaging the stock in the baskets. 

 What shall I advise her to do to rid 

 the baskets of themf M. G. F. O. 



The moths or millers themselves do 

 the plants no harm. They lay eggs, 

 however, which later produce caterpil- 

 lars, and these are what you must fight. 

 Where there are only a few baskets I 

 should prefer hand-picking as a remedy. 

 A spraying of arsenate of lead, one 

 pound to fifteen gallons of water, will 

 poison any caterpillars. This does not 

 injure the more tender plants, but its 

 white appearance somewhat disfigures 

 them. A spraying with white hellebore 

 would be eflFective, and this would not 

 mark the leaves like the lead. C. W.
