The Florists^ Review 



NOTBUBCB 4, 1016. 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



Continued fair weather, with no 

 frost, has brought everything forward 

 rapidly, and as a result there is an 

 abundance of all kinds of flowers 

 again this week. Even the better 

 grades of Beauty roses are fairly plen- 

 tiful. Of course there are too many 

 chrysanthemums; there always are too 

 many at this time of year, but the 

 oversupply is not so great as it was a 

 year ago. Besides, there is a good de- 

 mand, with out-of-town business grow- 

 ing. 



The first azaleas of the season 

 reached this city last week. It is not 

 yet certain that all that have been or- 

 dered will arrive, but the likelihood 

 is that they will. 



Considerable trouble has developed 

 with the foreign bulbs, as many of 

 them have proved to be badly dis- 

 eased, especially the French bulbs and 

 the more expensive varieties of nar- 

 cissi. Many bulbs, though sound on the 

 outside, when cut have streaks of de- 

 cayed material that are infested with 

 a small mite. Others have a dry rot 

 that affects the base of the bulb. I 

 have never seen so many bad bulbs in 

 any previous season. Hyacinths are 

 diseased also, but, so far as I have seen, 

 the tulips are not affected. One lot of 

 17,000 Grand Soleil d'Or narcissi proved 

 to be all but worthless. I cut a lot of 

 the best that could be sorted from 

 them and found fifty per cent contained 

 decayed streaks. 



Some of the best dahlias of the sea- 

 son were seen here last week. They 

 were Golden Gates and grew in a pro- 

 tected location. It may not be out of 

 place to remark that those who have 

 not dug their dahlias and cannas that 

 were cut by the early frost are taking 

 long chances on losing many of their 

 bulbs. The tops have already thrown 

 new growth a foot long and the tubers 

 will soon be so soft that it will be 

 difficult to keep them. Should there be 

 another week of warm weather, how- 

 ever, there will be some compensation, 

 as many of the shoots will be in bloom 

 by that time. 



There seems to be a great deal of 

 building going on in the residence dis- 

 tricts cf the city this fall, and there 

 will be much landscape planting which, 

 but for the unseasonable weather, would 

 have to wait till another year. 



Various Notes. 



Mclntyre Bros, are offering the beft 

 line of evergreens in pots that I have 

 ever seen offered in the city. They are 

 of great decorative value to their store, 

 too. 



There were several good weddings in 

 the city last week, and there was an- 

 other bride's bouquet of orchids and 

 valley, made by the Joy Floral Co., 

 that merited special mention. If the 

 two similar bouquets I saw at their 

 place this fall are any indication, the 

 city is using more expensive decora- 

 tions this season than heretofore. 

 Where one or two such decorations are 

 sold, more are sure to be demanded. 



The Hillcrest School Farm is busy 

 this week planting tulips and narcissi 

 for the next season's bulbs. Hyacinths 

 are being planted again in a small way, 

 as the results from the experiments 

 trith these bulbs thus far have been 

 good.
