reports that the outlook for fall busi- 

 ness in all lines of nursery stock was 

 never before so good in Tennessee. 



Haury Bros, are cutting a fine lot of 

 Sunburst roses. They say their only 

 mistake with this rose was in not plant- 

 ing enough of it. They say they have 

 been cleaned up closely on everything 

 most of the time the last ten days. 



The Joys' refrigerators were almost 

 empty when I visited them the last of 

 the week. They say that business has 

 been all that they could ask. Every- 

 thing is cleaned up as fast as it is cut. 

 They have a cut of fine orchids coming 

 in now. 



Geny's say that it is hard to get 

 enough stock right now to meet the 

 demand, as it is just between crops. 

 The demand for designs has been heavy 

 of late. They still have a supply of 

 good gladioli. 



Hillcrest School Farm expects to be- 

 gin digging tuberoses and gladioli this 

 week. The season has been a favorable 

 one for these plants.

The Rising Eastern Market. 



There has been more business in the 

 cut flower market the week ending 

 September 25 than in any of its prede- 

 cessors this season. The supply of 

 flowers is larger, while the demand 

 has consumed most of them at fair 

 prices. The greatest change is the fall 

 in the price of cattleyas in the face of 

 an improving market. Labiata is ar- 

 riving in increasing numbers. The price 

 has retrograded from the extreme fig- 

 ures of a month ago to normal, the 

 price being more than cut in half. The 

 dahlia has steadily gained ground, 

 though not yet at its best. The quan- 

 tities bought and sold are large. The 

 prices paid for really good stock are 

 fair. Roses have shown a slight ten- 

 dency toward higher prices, due to bet- 

 ter quality. All grades have been sell- 

 ing well. Asters are steadily diminish- 

 ing in numbers, making room for car- 

 nations. The Wards and good En- 

 chantress are in demand, and other va- 

 rieties seemingly less so. Monrovia has

been added to Golden Glow and Smith's 

 Advance, making three varieties of 

 chrysanthemums on which reliance may 

 be placed. There has been some trou- 

 ble with the quality, due probably to 

 the weather, in part, at least. Good 

 flowers have been in request. Single 

 violets are more plentiful. Tritomas 

 are coming into favor. Cosmos is in- 

 creasing. Greens are plentiful. The 

 out-of-town demand has been excellent. 

 Richmond is the dullest rose on the list. 

 The average quality of valley is im- 

 proving. Easter lilies are quite scarce 

 at times.

Various Notes.. 



Through the courtesy of August- 

 Doemling, I am able to give informa- 

 tion to The Review readers about a 

 new mixture used in glazing green- 

 houses. It consists of tar and whiting 

 mixed to the consistency of thick paste. 

 Mr. Doemling used this mixture in glaz-
