Mention The Review when you write. 



are in fine shape, and their carnations in 

 the field never looked better. All three 

 have been sending in all season fine stock 

 of carnations and roses. 



The St. Louis Horticultural Society 

 has issued its preliminary list for the 

 fall flower show. The Florists' Club at 

 its next meeting will vote to offer a 

 special prize for this show. 



Frank A. Weber, one of our local nur- 

 serymen, will look after the St. Louis 

 delegation which will attend the twenty- 

 fourth annual convention of the Ameri- 

 can Association of Nurserymen, which 

 meets at Rochester, N. Y., next month. 

 Mr. Weber expects a good delegation 

 from the west to meet the local men and 

 travel in a special car from here. 



Fred Ammann, of Edwardsvillc, Henry 

 Johann, of CoUinsville, and Edwin 

 Denker, of St. Charles, attended the club 

 meeting last week. 



The Florists' Bowling Club has been 

 unable to find suitable alleys. Nearly all 

 have closed up for the season, but Presi- 

 dent Connon and Secretary Smith say 

 that by next Monday they will find a 

 place where the club can have its weekly 

 l)owling all summer. J. J. B. 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



Florists Need License. 



A new law, passed by the legislature, 

 is of considerable interest to the florists 

 of this state, who, with many other busi- 

 ness men, are now to be as.?essed a privi- 

 lege tax, as follows : 



' * Each person, firm or corporation 

 dealing in cut flowers, or agent for same, 

 conducting the business of a florist in 

 cities, towns or taxing districts of 60,000 

 inhabitants or over, each, per annum, $25. 

 In cities, towns or taxing districts of 

 20,000 to (and less than) 60,000 inhabi- 

 tants, each, per annum, $15. In cities, 

 towns or taxing districts of less than 

 20,000 inhabitants, each, per annum, 

 $7..50. ' ' 



This will be quite a hardship on Nash- 

 ville firms, as they have agents in many 

 4)f the smaller cities and towns. 



Various Notes. 



The Park Commission has petitioned 

 tlie Council to levy an assessment of 5 

 cents on the $100 for park improvements. 



Geny Bros, have had a large trade in 

 funeral work and the orders for the 

 school and college commencements are 

 quite heavy. Some fine hydrangeas in 

 tubs are shown by this firm. Stock at 

 the old place never looked better, while 



the West Nashville place grows every 

 day. Some exceptionally fine Enchantress 

 are here and the amount of glass and 

 lumber on the ground bears out Mr. 

 Geny's intention to build two more 

 houses 30x168, also a propagating house. 

 These new houses are for carnations. 



Mclntyre Bros, are hustlers, getting 

 lots of business and supplying the goods. 

 Carnations are fine here. 



L. H. Haury for years has grown a 

 fine line of bedding and pot plants in 

 conjunction with his lettuce and other 

 vegetable business, and this year he will 

 erect 30,000 feet of glass to be devoted 

 to carnations, roses and other cut flowers. 



The Joy Floral Co. is shipping quanti- 

 ties of peonies to the Chicago market. 

 They have a fine collection, but plans are 

 made to do away with one tract that is 



mostly of the older and cheaper varieties 

 and replace it with some of the finest 

 kinds to be had. The two new houses at 

 the Gardens are now in full crop and are 

 a credit to the place. They are 30x386 

 feet, making a total of thirty-eight 

 houses in all. At the store an increased 

 force is required to handle the large 

 amount of funeral and commencement 

 work. 



The Leschey Nurseries have completed 

 the planting of their new house and the 

 stock looks fine. Mr. Browne, the pro- 

 prietor, makes a specialty of boarding 

 plants and he handles hundreds of them 

 in fine shape, besides a healthy nursery 

 business. 



An exceptionally fine sight at present 

 is the rose garden of the country home 

 of J. B. D. De Bow, Hermitage, Tenn.
