The Florists' Review 



OCTOBEB 14, 1915. 



SCBANTON, FA. 



The Market. 



Business shows a big improvement 

 over last week. There have been sev- 

 eral weddings, with other social func- 

 tions, which have kept us busy. There 

 also has been a good demand for fu- 

 neral work. There seems to be a short- 

 age of carnations in this locality. 

 Chrysanthemums also are scarce, due 

 to the early varieties being about done 

 for. Boses are plentiful and are bring- 

 ing good prices. Dahlias also are much 

 in demand. Other stocks are up to the 

 standard. 



Various Notes. 



A. L. Besancon & Co. report a busy 

 week in funeral and wedding work. 

 A pretty compliment has been paid to 

 Miss Besancon, who was selected by 

 Miss Helen Johnson, of New Bruns- 

 wick, N. J., to take charge of the 

 elaborate church and home decorations 

 for her wedding. Miss Johnson was so 

 much impressed with the artistic work 

 of Miss Besancon at the time of the 

 marriage of Miss Marion Jones that 

 she decided to engage her for her own 

 wedding. 



Baldwin had the decoration and 

 bouquets for the Hirchfield-Cohen wed- 

 ding at the Hotel Casey. 



Schultheis has a pretty window dis- 

 play, with autumn leaves and mums. 



G. R. Clark is cutting fine dahlias at 

 his gardens, for which he finds a ready 

 call. F. J. M. 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Maxket. 



The last week saw three killing 

 frosts and the trade rejoices, for there 

 will be no more outdoor flowers to 

 speak of. Dahlias are not entirely de- 

 stroyed in some places, but they will 

 not cut any figure in the market. Even 

 cosmos has suffered. It is too soon for 

 the picking up in business that the 

 change in weather is sure to bring, but 

 already things are strengthening. Last 

 week business was good all over town 

 and there were more wholesale orders 

 than for some time. 



The bulb business is expected to pick 

 up now that the bedding plants are 

 frosted. Business has been pretty good 

 already, and here we can note that 

 the Holland travelers already are in 

 our midst, one or two every day, try- 

 ing to get orders for next season. 



Some of the trade here have received 

 notice that their azaleas have left 

 Europe and may be expected at any 

 time. This is a distinct disappoint- 

 ment to many who felt there would be 

 no azaleas and so have made provision 

 for other things to take their place. 



There has been little change in the 

 supply of cut flowers during the week, 

 except that there are many more chrys- 

 anthemums. These are selling well. 

 There have been no pot mums on the 

 market thus far. F. B.
